Because unforeseen “what ifs” occur in life, travel insurance is an essential element we always recommend to guests when planning their trips. Travel insurance offers peace of mind. Although travelers may never have thought of their vacation as an investment, that’s what it is. For most people, a vacation is their third largest purchase (behind their home and car). Most of us can’t afford to lose the non-refundable portions of a trip if something unexpected happens – and emergencies occur: kids get sick, elderly need attention, an accident… not to mention such common issues as missed flight connections, lost baggage and travel delays.

We have some specific examples of how this insurance can help you when participating on a kayak tour. Should you arrive late for your rendezvous and miss departing with the group in the kayaks, often it is impossible or prohibitively expensive to catch up and you could miss the entire adventure portion of your vacation. More rarely, one of our tours could get cancelled for reasons beyond our control, or be delayed in returning due to bad weather. And in the worst case scenario, if you got injured in a remote location and required medical evacuation, you will be protected from this enormous cost by purchasing travel insurance.
