Release of Claims Form:
A Release of Claims Form will be provided to each trip participant prior to the start of each trip.
This form must be signed by all trip participants and is a condition of our acceptance of you as
a trip participant. For trip participants under the age of 18 a parent or legal guardian must also
sign on their release form.
The text of the form will be as follows:
I do hereby waive, on my behalf and that of my heirs, any and all claims against Nature Trip, it’s
employees, shareholders, and agents for any death, bodily injury, illness, or loss arising from my
voluntary participation in the programs made available to me by Nature Trip, and agree not to
bring suit against all or any of them unless such loss, bodily injury, illness or death is due to their
direct gross negligence. I agree that neither Nature Trip nor it’s agents will be held liable for any
circumstances arising as a result of acts of God, military, political or terrorist act, civil
disturbance, force majeure, weather, theft, strikes or annoyance.
During my voluntary participation in programs made available to me by Nature Trip, I accept all
risks inherent with those programs including but not limited to the risks of traveling in vehicles,
air travel, encounters with wild animals, walking, hiking, swimming and boating. In the absence
of gross negligence by Nature Trip, I agree that Nature Trip’s employees, shareholders and
agents shall not assume any responsibility, directly or indirectly, for any losses, damage or injury
to my person or property, or for expenses arising from negligence of contractors and suppliers
that may provide transportation, guides, accommodations, or other travel related services. I
further agree that Nature Trip is not responsible for any death, injury or accidents which may
occur as a result of acts of any person or carrier of passengers employed or contracted to
Nature Trip and that Nature Trip assumes no responsibility for the loss or damage of any
personal items including baggage.
As a voluntary trip participant on a Nature Trip program I agree to exercise reasonable care in
any activities I participate in and to follow safety directions from trip leaders, guides and drivers.
I further understand that due to the unpredictability of weather and locations of wildlife Nature
Trip reserves the right to make reasonable changes in itineraries. I also understand that due to
the nature of birds, mammals, and other wildlife that neither Nature Trip nor their guides can
guarantee viewing of any specific species.
I have read and understand this Release of Claim Form.
This addendum is for trip participants under the age of 18 and requires a signature of a
parent or legal guardian.
As a voluntary trip participant on a Nature Trip program my child/children will exercise
reasonable care in any activities they participate in and will follow safety directions from trip
leaders, guides and drivers.
I have read and understand this Release of Claim Form.
