Cancellation Policy: Indagare must strictly adhere to its Cancellation Policy to offset costs incurred prior to the commencement of the Program, which may include but are not limited to: advance payments to land operators; communication expenses; development and the loss of time that might have permitted resale of reserved space; and transaction fees associated with processing your payments or payments.

Our Indagare Community Commitment and Code of Conduct At Indagare, we believe in the power of travel to move us by offering different perspectives and to have a positive impact on the places we visit. Indagare is dedicated to creating an environment of mutual respect between our travelers, team members, and our partners around the world.

The Indagare Promise We promise to:

Serve as your trusted advisor and help you develop a lifetime of meaningful travels. Scout and source recommendations and experiences that you can trust. Find ways to make your trip memorable and meaningful, by providing special access, personalized recommendations and hand-picked guides and experiences. Support sustainable tourism and guide you to be responsible stewards of the world’s resources and respectful of local cultures and customs.

The Traveler Promise I promise to:

Uphold Indagare’s standard of global citizenship and code of conduct when I travel with Indagare. Treat the Indagare community—its staff, my team, hosts, partners around the world and my fellow travelers—with respect. Respect the Indagare team’s time: when my intended plans change, I will inform my team as soon as possible. Review important travel documents and information provided in a timely manner, especially guidelines, entry and testing requirements or protocols, deposits, insurance and cancellations. Acknowledge that travel can be unpredictable and trust that Indagare is doing everything possible to ensure that my travel experience is seamless. Be patient when unexpected situations arise. Adhere to agreed upon terms and conditions and cancellation policies as required by Indagare.

Trip-Planning Guidelines

Hours of Operation: Indagare’s business hours are Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST. However, we are available for the duration of an Indagare Journey, even when it falls outside of normal working hours. While our team is always monitoring your travels and is available in cases of emergencies, we ask that you respect and operate within our standard business hours and response times. We will always acknowledge receipt of your requests, but expect that our travelers practice patience. Expectations of the Indagare teams’ response times and availability should be informed by Indagare’s standard hours of operation.

Lead Time: Please help us deliver on our brand promise by giving Indagare ample lead time to plan your travels, and by respecting our need to decline to assist when we do not have the lead time required to execute a request that meets our mutual standards of excellence. Factors such as destination, time of year, type of request, and number of requests will affect lead time requirements for trip planning.

Cancellations, Fees, and Insurance: Indagare has built incredible relationships with our hotel and on-the-ground partners, and we will always advocate for our travelers to make sure that they are given the best service, special perks and amenities. Many people assume that because of these relationships we can negotiate with hotels for policy exceptions or to reduce or waive cancellation fees. We must respect our global partners’ policies and we cannot waive cancellation fees for any reason, which is why our Indagare Journeys are fully non-refundable. We encourage our travelers to purchase travel insurance, so that they are covered in the event of the unexpected. As we are not licensed insurance providers, insurance is purchased through a separate entity, and that entity, not Indagare, would be your direct point of contact for related questions and concerns. We are always forthcoming with the fact that our Indagare Journeys are non-refundable, and these policies must be upheld by our travelers

Anti-Discrimination Policy: Indagare’s mission is to help our community members enrich their lives through travel, while supporting the amazing partners we have throughout the world. Engaging in conscientious travel requires that our travelers, staff and partners always maintain an environment of respect, tolerance and open-mindedness (and often deference) to different cultures and customs.

Indagare prohibits all unlawful discrimination and harassment, based on sex/gender or gender expression, race or national origin, religion, disability, age or any other legally protected class. Additionally, we expect that our travelers, partners and Indagare employees uphold a level of inclusion and respect beyond the minimal legal requirements and do not engage in disrespect of other cultures, stereotyping and other unwelcome conduct. Violations of these tenets will result in termination of membership, employment and/or partnership with Indagare.
