“I wanted to say how much we both enjoyed our kayaking trip in Morro Bay with you and your colleague. As busy people who both work hard and travel a lot on business, vacation time is extremely precious to us, so your professionalism, patience and enthusiasm made the trip all the more enjoyable... I'm sure this won't be the last trip to the area...”

We are happy to offer gift certificates. Buying a day trip for one or two people makes an excellent gift for that outdoors enthusiast on your list. Just call us up and we can do a gift certificate over the phone with a credit card. We'll mail you the gift certificate, as well as a brochure with a link to our website so your excited friend or family member can check out everything we have to offer. Call Toll Free - 888-873-5610
All prices quoted are per person. See below for youth discounts.
Deposits are required to secure your space on a trip and are best handled at the time of reservation. We accept Visa and Mastercard. Credit card information can be taken by phone or fax. You may also mail a check if desired.
| Trip | Deposit Per Person |
| Multi-day Trips | 20% of anticipated total cost |
| Day Trips | $15 |
After the deposit is received a Confirmation Packet is sent to you. The packet includes more information about the trip, including a recommended clothing and gear list and a "Release of Liability, Assumption of All Risks, and Arbitration Agreement" that must be signed and in our possession prior to the trip start.
For day trips, full payment is due 7 days prior to the trip. Signups taken within 7 days of the trip start should be accompanied by full payment. Final payment is payable in cash, check, money order or by credit card.
Once you have received a confirmation of reservation from us, we make every effort to run the trip. However, occasionally we need to cancel a trip and we reserve the right to do so. If anyone has signed up for a trip that we cancel, we will notify them promptly and offer a full refund or the opportunity to transfer to another trip. Central Coast Outdoors is not responsible for any expenses incurred in preparation for any cancelled trips, including air fare.
If you have to cancel a trip for any reason, the following refund schedule applies, except for bad weather on a day trip - see below.
|
There are no refunds for leaving a trip early or for not using any of the services that are part of the trip. If you want to transfer to another trip or another date, you may do so free of charge for day trips more than one day prior to the trip start.
If the weather is really bad on the morning of a day trip, you have three choices. First, continue with the planned activities (perhaps with alternate activities worked in). Second, transfer with no additional fees to the same trip in the future. Third, cancel entirely with a $15 per person cancellation fee. We always wait until the morning of the trip to make this decision because weather forecasts are not always 100% accurate. If the weather is so bad that it is a safety issue, the guide will cancel the trip and there will be a full refund.

“Jennifer and I had a great time! The food was excellent. The guides showed great skill in their level of involvement. Because of the excellent service we are looking forward to a return trip to Morro Bay. Five stars!”

Any booking party of ten or more on a regularly scheduled trip receives a 20% discount. This does not compound with youth discounts (you receive whichever discount is better) and applies to regular trip departures only.
We strongly recommend you purchase trip cancellation insurance to cover yourself in case a medical emergency or other unanticipated situation arises. A variety of companies provide quality trip cancellation insurance. You can shop online for a policy at insuremytrip.com.
