Cancellations and Refunds

The entirety of the amount paid for the Huakaʻi is not refundable and there are no exceptions or refunds due to cancellations for any reason. This includes any refunds or cancellations due to issues with health, transportation, or force majeure. We recommend that you obtain travel insurance. Please understand that the refund policy is in place because upon booking we reserve a room, meals, teachers, practitioners, and other expenses for each Huakaʻi attendee. You understand that fees paid with an authorized credit or debit card payment are not subject to a right by you to a credit/debit card refund or chargeback after signup. By making the payment, you represent you are authorized to make the payment using the card. If you later dispute the charges, you agree not to cancel, revoke, chargeback, or dispute any previously entered charge on your credit card. If you do so, and it is later determined that the charge was properly authorized, you agree to pay all out-of-pocket fees and costs incurred by Mana O Molokai, Inc. as a result of the improper cancellation, revocation, chargeback, or dispute.  

 
Travel Insurance

We recommend that you take out adequate travel insurance, including cover for medical treatment, accidents and repatriation, and cancellation. It is your responsibility you arrange, or ensure you have appropriate comprehensive travel insurance. This is to include cover for illness, personal injury, and travel delay/cancellation. We assume that such a policy is in force before you depart. You should bring the policy with you in case of an emergency.
