Trip Reservation

We recommend that you reserve space early to assure your preferred departure date. Our small group size means we often sell out quickly.

Please complete and sign the Reservation Form below. You may also reserve space on any trip by calling a Wild Planet Adventures specialist at 1-800-990-4376 (US & Canada) or 415-524-8610 and check availability.

A deposit of $600 per person is required to reserve your space, except Alaska, Africa, Galapagos, India, Borneo, Peru, and Brazil which require non-refundable deposits of 1/3 of total trip cost. For all trips other than Alaska, Africa, Galapagos, India, Borneo, Peru, and Brazil, $250 of your $600 deposit is a non-refundable registration fee. The balance of fees are due no later than 90 days prior to departure (120 days prior for Holiday trips, Alaska, Africa, Galapagos, India, Borneo, Peru, and Brazil.) See Method of Payment instructions and Cancellation information below this form.

Upon receipt of this registration form and your deposit, Wild Planet Adventures will reserve a space for you (based on availability), provide a link for you to download pre-departure information for your specific trip, and allow you the option to share your travels with your friends and families during your trip.
