What Happens if I Want to Cancel?

Zero-Risk Booking: Best Cancellation Policy, Best Guarantee.

  • You can cancel for a full refund anytime until your guide arrives! That means that you don’t have to worry about if you get sick, or the weather is bad, or your flight is delayed, or anything else!

  • If you don’t like your tour for any reason, just give us a call and we’ll give you a full refund AND $100 towards your next tour in Alaska. It doesn’t even have to be with us.

What does Zero-Risk Booking do for me?

  • Millions of dollars are lost by travelers every day for tours they never went on — just because something came up last minute and they had to cancel. That will never happen with Zero-Risk Booking.

  • Booking a tour is usually a risk. You don’t know if it’ll be good or not. Zero-Risk Booking means you win either way.

  • Zero-Risk Booking puts the pressure on us, not you. If we don’t live up to your expectations, it hurts our bottom line.

  • Getting sick before a tour can cost you upwards of $2,000 with a 24-hour cancellation policy. With Zero-Risk Booking, it doesn’t cost you anything.

  • You can book early to secure your spot, then cancel or move things around later if you need to — with zero pressure!

Who we are…

Northern Epics is an experiment. Normally I would use this section to tell you about how we’re the best-rated hiking company in Denali. Or that we donate 5% of our net profits to conservation in the areas we guide. But that’s what we do, not who we are. I want to tell you about our personality.

Companies aren’t people. But they are made of people. And when all those people are aligned, it creates something beautiful.

We’re a new company. We started in 2023 with a dream for greatness. That dream began with a core belief - that if we truly do right by our employees and our customers, profits will follow. Not exactly MBA worthy, I know. If you can’t tell, we’re not businessmen. In fact, none of our original founders had a college degree.

We’re here to see if it’s possible to run a successful company that cares about its employees and customers like family. And not in the marketing mumbo-jumbo way. I mean the kind of family you call if you get a flat tire. Or need someone to talk to. Or need help spreading a loved one’s ashes (yes, that actually happened. I helped them myself.)

So will you join our experiment? I urge you to book a tour with us. See for yourself how we operate, and help us redefine the guiding industry.

- Trinidad Collier, Co-Founder

Getting to sample the edible plants and berries of Denali is a big part of what makes our tours great! Edible plants and berries make up an important part of the diet of many inland Alaskans, including your guide!

If you want to identify these plants and berries yourself, check out our Edible Plants of Denali guide. It’ll make all of your hikes in Denali more special, and offer you a new way to connect to the land.

And if you don’t like it, just let us know! We’ll be happy to refund you. As with everything we offer, we only want you to paying if you’re happy with what you’re getting!

Learn more on one tour than on the rest of your vacation combined!
