New – No Risk Covid Booking and Cancellation Policy

We understand covid has made it hard to travel, so we want to make it as easy for you to book your next vacation with us in confidence.

Currently we have extra flexible booking terms and have a covid no-penalty cancellation policy.

If your country’s border or Hawaii’s border closes in time for your booked retreat you are welcome to reschedule it at no penalty.
If you are unable to fly at the last minute due to a verifiable covid related issue, such as receiving a positive PCR test or the airline cancelling your flight, you will also be able to reschedule your retreat at no penalty. You must provide proof of a positive COVID-19 test.

PLEASE NOTE that your retreat package purchase is non-refundable, but your retreat credit is valid for 2 years and can be applied to any Retreat in Hawaii until Dec 31st 2024.

The package is also transferrable if you would like to sell your package at the value purchased to someone you know or change the name the package it is under.
