Travel insurance is strongly recommended for participation in our trips.
When selecting a travel insurance policy, please bear in mind that all travelers are strongly recommended to have medical coverage and that we recommend a minimum coverage of $150,000 USD for travel medical/accident & sickness, and $250,000 USD for emergency medical evacuation and repatriation. It can help for those benefits to be Primary coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also includes benefits for trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, and some coverage for baggage & personal effects.
The sooner you purchase a trip protection style plan, the more it can cover, as there are time-sensitive benefits that can apply! Generally, it is recommended purchasing a trip protection style plan within 10 days of making your initial trip payment of any kind for this trip. Please ensure that all the activities you plan on participating in are covered by your travel insurance.
