Adventure Travel Insurance
The essence of travel lies in the excitement of new experiences, and if you’re someone who seeks thrills and pushes boundaries, traveling can open up a whole new realm of accomplishments.
From fulfilling your bucket-list dream of trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp, to scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef, motorcycle touring in Vietnam, or embarking on a ski holiday in New Zealand, engaging in wild adventures creates memories that last a lifetime. However, with great adventures comes a greater risk of unexpected circumstances.
This is where adventure travel insurance coverage, or specifically tailored extreme sports travel insurance, becomes crucial and should be a vital consideration in your travel plans.
When comparing travel insurance plans, it’s important to pay attention to which adventure activities are automatically covered and which activities require additional coverage. This ensures that you have the necessary protection and peace of mind throughout your adventures.
Good news for the sporty and adventure types: all our Cover-More travel insurance plans automatically include cover for over 80 adventure activities.
