What does snorkelling insurance cover?
Our snorkelling travel insurance supports travellers visiting reef destinations, marine parks and coastal spots.
You’ll find emergency medical treatment and repatriation included, trip cancellation and curtailment, baggage, personal accident, activity fees, search & rescue, and more.
For those already with travel insurance, add our bolt‑on for the protection you need on a snorkelling excursion.
Our policies provide three different types of cover: Sports travel insurance, Sports accident, and Activity Top-Up. Please ensure you select the most suitable cover for your activity, when you get a quote and always review your policy documents.
Sports equipment is excluded under our bolt‑on cover.
Only a summary of the policy’s coverage is presented on this page. Please refer to policy documents for full details of what is and what is not covered, when you get a quote.
Thousands rate how easy it is
