Trip pricing is based on customized group arrangements secured in advance with third-party suppliers. If cost changes occur before the 45th day prior to departure, including but not limited to airfare increases, accommodation rate changes, taxes, or fuel surcharges, Happistart reserves the right to adjust the price by up to 20%. Any changes will be communicated in writing.

The final balance is due no later than 30 days before departure. Late payments will incur a US $350 late fee for every 10-day delay.

2. In the event of serious illness (doctor’s note required) or death of an immediate family member
3. In case of force majeure

All refunds are subject to the individual cancellation policies, timelines, and penalties of airlines, hotels, and all third-party suppliers. Happistart does not override or absorb supplier-imposed charges.
