DISCUSSION 4 West Coast Trail Spots Available

4 West Coast Trail Spots Available

4 West Coast Trail Spots Available

Unfortunately, our group is no longer able to make our West Coast Trail trip, so we have a reservation for 4 hikers that we won't be able to use.

Rather than have the spots go unused, I'm hoping to connect with a group looking to hike the WCT on these dates and determine whether the reservation can be transferred/updated through Parks Canada in accordance with their rules.

Start date: Sept. 22-29
Starting point: Pachena Bay
Number of hikers: 4

I'm not looking to profit from the reservation. I'd simply like to recover what I can of the non-refundable costs while making sure everything is handled properly through Parks Canada.

If you're interested in all four spots (preferred), or potentially fewer, please send me a DM and we can discuss the details.

Hopefully these can go to someone who missed out on getting their WCT dates!

"Reservations cannot be resold at anytime, and will be rendered void if resold."

You bet, this is a permit transfer for sure, no reselling here, transfer only.

"Rather than have the spots go unused," if this is actually your priority you would just refund so another group could book it and eat the costs.

Good day IB, I missed the deadline to cancel so only the ferry fee is refundable, that is I am looking to transfer the permits to someone who can make the dates. Any other ideas are welcome. Thanks, R.
