As part of Eco Xpedition Tours' mission to remain as eco-friendly as possible, it is important to note that we abstain from staying at larger hotels and resorts in favor of small, well-run wildlife lodges and/or ranches. Most of these are equipped with their own private nature reserves often supporting biological research and, because of their small size, having minimal impact on their environments.
While the vast majority of our tours operate satisfactorily, because of the undeveloped nature of most of our destinations in Nicaragua, minor mishaps can and do occur. All travelers should be aware that, although we use trusted local representatives and have done everything in our power to ensure itineraries run smoothly, various factors can conspire to cause disruption of said itineraries. Should any mishaps occur, please be assured that our representatives shall do the utmost to rectify any adverse situations wherever possible.

If we sign up enough participants to run a trip, but unexpected cancellations drop the number of participants below the required minimum, we will run the trip at an additional charge of $250 per person. If additional participants join and the required number of participants is re-attained, the surcharge will be refunded.
