Adventure Sports Travel Insurance Add-On

If you're one for seeking adventures and plan on taking part in some adrenaline-fuelled sports on holiday, you might be interested in ensuring you're covered with our extended-risk activity cover.

Although our travel insurance comes with many activities already included, this add-on provides cover for certain activities that are classed as being 'higher-risk' which wouldn't be covered as standard.

All of our policies come with emergency medical cover, cancellation cover and a 24/7 emergency assistance on hand for when you need it most.

Why might I need adventure sport cover?

If you're planning on taking part in any of the following adventure activities during your trip, these are not covered as standard. However, by adding the extended-risk add-on to your policy, you can enure you're covered:


  • Abseiling (within organiser's guidelines)

  • Black Water Rafting

  • Land Skiing (not on snow)

  • Octopush

  • Rap Jumping/Running (within organiser's guidelines)

  • Safari Trekking on foot (must be organised tour booked in the United Kingdom)

  • Sea Kayaking

  • White Water Rafting (up to grade 3 within organiser's guidelines)

These activities fall into this higher-risk category because they carry a greater chance of injury or danger. For that reason, you need to pay a small additional premium to ensure you're covered.

It's also worth bearing in mind that some activities are covered but, exclude personal accident and personal liability cover. You can check this by using our activity checker.
