Introduction

We understand that when you go on holiday, there are all sorts of exciting activities that you might want to try!

Many of our providers will include some cover for hazardous activities but will have specific terms you need to comply with. As the cover and terms for hazardous activities varies significantly by provider, once you have completed a quote, it will be in your best interest to refer to the specific policy wording to make sure it provides you with the cover you require.

This help article will help you work out what activities you would be covered for.
