Terms & Conditions
A legal disclaimer
1. Nature of Service: Self-Guided Transport
JumperTours is a transportation and logistics provider. We offer premium shuttle services to designated shoreline drop-off points at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.
-
No Interpretation: JumperTours provides professional drivers, not interpretive or hiking guides.
-
Independence: Guests are responsible for their own safety, navigation, and time management once they exit the shuttle at the shoreline.
2. Departure & Promptness Policy
To maintain strict schedules and ensure all guests receive their full time at the lakes, our shuttles depart promptly at the scheduled times.
-
The 10-Minute Rule: Guests must be at the designated pickup point (Canmore, Banff, or Lake Louise/Moraine shoreline) at least 10 minutes prior to the scheduled departure.
-
No-Show/Late Arrival: If a guest is not present at the departure time, the shuttle will proceed without them. Missed departures due to guest lateness are non-refundable.
-
Connectivity Warning: Moraine Lake and parts of Lake Louise are cellular "Dead Zones." Guests are responsible for knowing their return time and location without relying on cell service or GPS.
3. Cancellation & Refund Policy
Due to the limited seating capacity and high demand for the 2026 season, the following refund schedule applies:
-
48 Hours or More: Full refund (minus any non-refundable third-party booking fees).
-
Less than 48 Hours: No refunds or date changes will be permitted.
-
Weather Policy: Shuttles operate in rain, snow, or shine. Refunds are only issued if Parks Canada or Alberta Transportation closes the access roads.
4. Wildlife & Transit Safety
To ensure guest arrival times and comply with Parks Canada conservation efforts:
-
No Wildlife Stops: Shuttles will not stop for roadside wildlife viewing (bears, elk, etc.).
-
Traffic Delays: While we strive for punctuality, JumperTours is not responsible for delays caused by traffic congestion, road construction, or emergency park closures.
5. Luggage, Gear, & Pets
-
Standard Gear: Small daypacks and collapsible hiking poles are permitted.
-
Prohibited Items: Large suitcases, rigid strollers, and oversized photography tripods are not permitted unless prior arrangements have been made (due to limited cabin space).
-
Pets: Only certified service animals are permitted on shuttles. No "emotional support" or companion pets are allowed to ensure the comfort of all passengers.
6. Liability & Guest Safety
-
Personal Risk: Guests acknowledge that Banff National Park is a wilderness environment. JumperTours is not liable for injuries, wildlife encounters, or accidents occurring outside the shuttle vehicle.
-
Belongings: JumperTours is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal items left in the vehicle or at the lakes.
