Booking Deposit
To secure your spot on the retreat, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required per person. This payment locks in your place and gets you ready for an unforgettable adventure.

Payment Schedule

• Final payment is due 60 days before the start of the trip.

Payment Plans: We have payment plans set up for all of our guests so that your payment for tuition is spread out across 5 payments, billed monthly, starting with your deposit and ending with your final payment due 60 days before the start of the retreat. Please reach out if you would like more information!

What If I apply for and book shared room, who will be my roommate be, and will I have my own bed?

When you apply for and book a shared room, that means that you will have your own bed (either a single or queen) in a spacious, beautiful room overlooking the mountains, sea and or the fjord.

As we finalize the group for each retreat, we will be thoughtful about paring your with a roommate who we feel like will be the best fit!

NOTE: If you’re a female traveler, you will always be paired with another female traveler. We will never pair a single female traveler with a single male traveler.

At Arctic Dreams Retreats, our activities and daily rhythm are guided by the elements. Surfing and sailing are weather-dependent and may not always be possible when ocean or wind conditions make them unsafe. If plans shift, rest assured that your days will still be rich with adventure, movement, and the kind of experiences that make this remote corner of the world so transformative.

Lofoten is celebrated for it’s beauty but is occasionally subject to extreme weather conditions, regardless of the season. Please be aware that there will be no refunds issued due to adverse weather conditions.

• The 30 % deposit is non-refundable.

• If you need to cancel within 60 days of the retreat start date, we won’t be able to offer a refund.

• If you cancel more than 60 days in advance of your retreat, and we are able to fill your spot, the total amount paid minus the 30% deposit ($1770 for singles, $1710 for doubles) is returned to you net of bank charges.

• We highly recommend travel insurance to protect you in case of any unexpected issues.

We of course want to ensure that you get to experience the trip of a lifetime, so should something arise please let us know so we can try and find a solution.

You’re responsible for securing travel insurance that covers you and the activities planned on the retreat. Arctic Dreams Retreats and our guides aren’t liable for any injuries, illnesses, or damages that might occur during the retreat.

Travel Insurance Suggestions: Many credit card companies offer travel insurance for card holders, sometimes at no additional charge. This can be a great solution!

Another company that has been recommended to us is Allianz Travel Insurance. We have heard good reviews but don’t have any personal experience with them.

Why can’t Arctic Dreams Retreats offer driving transportation for our retreats? Due to local business operating laws and driving regulations in Norway, we are not able to drive the group. But we will help you connect with one another in a WhatsApp group chat to coordinate driving and carpooling.

At Arctic Dreams Retreats, the wellbeing of our guests and team is our top priority. Because our retreats are intimate experiences where guests share close living spaces, bathrooms, and meals, we must take health and safety seriously. If you have an infectious or contagious health condition that could put others at risk, we’re regretfully unable to welcome you to the retreat. Likewise, if you’re ill or experiencing contagious symptoms before your arrival, we ask that you stay home to recover or if you’ve already arrived in Norway, book your own accommodations until your symptoms pass and a doctor clears you to join the group.

This policy exists out of love and respect — for you, for our community, and for the collective wellbeing that makes these retreats so special. Please ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance to protect your investment should you face an unforeseen illness or condition that prevents you from joining us.

Neither Arctic Dreams Retreats nor our guides are responsible for:

• Injuries, illnesses, or damages that occur during the retreat.

• Additional costs or expenses related to trip cancellation or delays, such as car rentals, flights, or other personal arrangements.

• By joining our retreat, you agree to these terms.

By booking your spot, you’re confirming that you’ve read and agree to our cancellation policy.
