Personal or business check and bank cashier’s check accepted as deposit/prepayment ONLY if received 20 days or more prior to arrival date.
  • Visa or M/C credit card is required for payment of the necessary US Forest Service Travel Permit and User Fees. Same required for Quetico Park Travel Permit.
     
  • Bunkhouse, Chalet, or Villa Resort Lodging reservations are prepaid prior to arrival date.
     
  • Contact River Point Outfitting Co. at 1.800.456.5580 to remit your Visa or M/C credit card number for deposit/prepayment.

Repacking Charge:
A repacking charge of $50 per permit will be incurred if your party size decreases from the original reservation and notification by mail, fax, or e-mail has not been received by RPO at least 21 days prior to your Arrival/Check-In date.

Final Payment Information:
Final balance of payment due upon Registration and payable with Cash, Traveler's Check, or Bank Cashier's Check.

Credit card payment is accepted ONLY for initial deposit(s) and/or prepayment---in the case of a “last-minute” reservation. Additional persons joining your party at the time of Registration will be charged accordingly. Sorry, no personal checks accepted at Registration.

Organized Non-Profit Youth Groups must remit final payment in advance of arrival with an Organizational Check. Canoe trips reserved as gifts require a prepayment with personal or business check.

  • A Guest Folio with “Confirmation of Reservation” and an itemized statement of charges will be sent via US mail, e-mail, or fax. Please note: You are financially responsible for what you have reserved.
     
  • Outfitting rates subject to 6.5 % MN sales tax. Resort Lodging rates subject to 6.5% MN sales tax and local 3% tax.

  • There are no refunds for complete or partially outfitted trips that end early, for equipment returned early, or for any unused food, transportation, or accommodations.
     
  • Guide Gratuities are generally 15-20% of the package rate and are greatly appreciated. Other outfitting staff gratuities are discretioanary and encouraged.
     
  • Rates subject to change without notice.

Cancellation of Canoe Trip Reservation:
In the event of cancellation of reservation of the canoe trip, deposit fees and prepayments are nonrefundable. However, if written notice is received by RPO at least 30 days prior to the date the canoe trip starts, the trip may be rescheduled for another date this season or next year. All money on account applicable to outfitting of the canoe trip (equipment, canoes, food, transport fees, etc.) would be transferable to the new trip date for the same number of persons, length of trip, and package reserved that was in the cancelled reservation.

EXCEPTION: Deposit or prepayment of lodging reserved (vacation home, villa, chalet, bunkhouse) are nonrefundable and nontransferable to the new trip date. Furthermore, if full prepayment of the lodging portion of the trip was not secured in advance, any money on account from the canoe trip portion of the combination trip, which is being cancelled, will be applied to the balance due on the lodging portion of the trip.

If a cancellation of a reservation occurs less than 21 days prior to arrival date, or in the case of a “no-show” reservation, the party leader is financially responsible for the entire balance of payment due as indicated in the Confirmation and Guest Folio. Leader will be expected to make arrangements to remit payment immediately, or credit card on file will be debited for the final amount due of the reservation.

  • Deposits/prepayments from individuals within a Group who cancel out of the trip are nonrefundable and nontransferable to the rest of the Group.
     
  • USFS Travel Permit is nonrefundable nor applicable to a future trip. The USFS User Fee will be refunded if cancelled two or more days prior to the entry date. Canada’s Quetico Park permit fee is nonrefundable.

River Point Outfitting Company is not liable for delays, cancellation or interruption of a trip caused by air carriers, taxi service or other ground transport, inclement weather, change of plans, medical reasons, or other reasons. Travel insurance is available, and may protect you against circumstances that may cause you to interrupt or cancel your trip. We strongly advise arrive in Ely the day prior to the start of your canoe trip.
