All of our trips are geared for beginners with no previous experience or skill, unless
otherwise noted. Our trips are designed to expose you to new skills and introduce you
to the diverse activities that you can enjoy in the outdoors. Some of our trips, however,
are more physically demanding than others. All watersports participants must be able to
swim. If you have questions about whether a trip will fit your physical abilities, please
contact the Outdoor Leadership Coordinator at (858) 534-8211.
To sign up for trips, register online, drop by Outback Adventures, Outback Surf Shop or RIMAC
during our business hours. Don’t miss out! Register early—trips fill quickly. Sorry, we are
unable to take registrations over the phone. Note that the first price listed is for UC San Diego
students and Rec Card holders and the second price is for all others. All trips depart from Outback
Adventures Rental Shop unless otherwise specified.
We plan for success. Outback Adventures creates trips and prepares resources and logistics with our
mission, customers, and goals of the specific trip in mind. We are disappointed when programs must
be canceled, but it happens on occasion. Some of the reasons we need to cancel a program are:
- Predicted or prevailing unsafe weather conditions
- Insufficient sign-ups
- Illness or injury among the guiding staff
- Rarely, other circumstances beyond our control
In the event that we must cancel a program due to one of the above stated reasons, Outback Adventures
issues all participants full refunds. Participants are notified of the change in plans. Our staff immediately
begins the process of issuing refunds.
If you cancel your registration:
- More than 30 days before 1st day of program = 90% full refund
- More than 14 days before 1st day of program = 75% refund
- Less than 14 days before 1st day of program = no refund
NOTE: Transferring dates, programs or times constitutes a cancellation and the above policy applies.
WARNING
Adventure travel has inherent risks of injury and/or death. These risks contribute to the "adventure" aspect of our trips. UCSD Outback Adventures and its employees assume no liability for any damages, loss, injury or death as a result of our trips. Some trips have a prerequisite fitness level, for which the participants are responsible. Any person participating in an Outback Adventures trip is personally responsible for his or her own safety.
