Rock climbing travel insurance

A good cliff face can really rock your world

What better way to enjoy nature than to climb all over it? If you plan on outdoor rock climbing, you'll need to add our Adventure Activities Boost to be covered. (If you’re abseiling, you’re automatically covered in our Explorer Plan.)

Rock climbing covered when Adventure Activities Boost added at an additional cost to the base policy.

Here are some coverage highlights for rock climbing travel insurance

Whether you’re planning to climb the towering cliffs in Thailand’s Tonsai or the limestone of Greece’s Kalymnos, you should consider adding our Adventure Activities Boost to your Explorer Plan (at an additional cost) before you hit the crags. Here's a round up of our benefits that may come in handy.

Medical costs rock climbing

With our Adventure Activities Boost, we can reimburse you for medical bills incurred from your participation in rock climbing of heights less than 2000m above sea level.

*Only applies to Overseas Explorer Plan

Route types

Our Adventure Activities Boost provides coverage for rock climbing up to 2000m regardless of whether you’re scaling a bolted route or using ropes and/or guides.

Adventure coverage

When you toggle-on our Adventure Activities Boost, you get coverage for several adventure activities in real-time!

There’s a lot of detail to unpack in the above, so refer to and read the Combined FSG/PDS for more information. To learn about the Target Market for this product, you can read our TMD.

Helpful Tip:
You can toggle-on our Adventure Activities Boost in real time – and the cover will start as soon as you pay.
Remember:

If you’re just abseiling and not outdoor rock climbing, you don’t need to add our Adventure Activities Boost because abseiling coverage is included in our Explorer Plan.

If you need to amend, delay or cancel your trip, we can help smooth out bumps in your travel plans. You can even increase your cancellation coverage in increments of $1,000 by paying additional premiums.

Cover for your gear

We offer coverage to help fund the replacement or reimbursement
of delayed, lost, stolen or damaged luggage. You can also increase the single-item limit for portable electronic gadgets, and ramp up your coverage for other specified items you won't travel without.
