Ilulissat Excursions reserves the right to cancel arrangements on the following conditions: weather, ice or snow-conditions, technical problems on boat or snowcat, bad weather and in any situation beyond the control of Ilulissat Excursions. It is respectively the captain of the boat and snowcat and dogsled drivers who decides if the weather permits the execution of the excursion. If Ilulissat Excursions cancels an excursion, because of the reasons mentioned above, the full amount paid for the excursion will be refunded to the customer.

Important note. The level of difficulty should match your physical achievement. A ride on a snowmobile and a dogsledding requieres that you don´t have a back or neck issues.
