Hiking & Mountaineering highlights:

From the breathtaking boreal forests of Canada to the spectacular ranges of Nepal, the world is bursting with spectacular places to hike and mountaineer. Not all expeditions or destinations are covered by Overseas Explorer though, so it’s a sound idea to think about adding Hiking and Mountaineering Cover with our Adventure Boost.

Treks Above Sea Level

If you’re reaching heights between 4000 and 6000m above sea level on a trek that takes more than two days to complete but doesn’t require specialist climbing equipment, Freely will provide you with coverage in our optional Adventure Boost, and if your trek is under 4000m you are covered by Overseas Explorer

Kokoda Track

Most Kokoda tours require you to have personal travel insurance prior to departure – and we provide coverage for this particularly gnarly trek when you select your days in our Adventure Boost.

Medical Costs

With our Adventure Boost, we include cover for any medical bills or additional expenses you incur from your participation in hikes and mountaineering at heights between 4000-6000m above sea level provided they take more than two days to complete but don’t require specialist climbing equipment.
