Travel Insurance: Activities, sports & adventures covered by World Nomads

We cover more than 250 activities on all travel insurance plans for Canadian travellers. Many activities are considered ‘Level 1’ and do not require an extra cost to add them to your policy. Level 2 and 3 activities will require an extra premium.

As this list is long, we suggest you ‘control F’ (the computer shortcut for ‘find’) to locate the particular activity you are searching for. If you are hiking, for example, be sure to know your maximum elevation so you can purchase the right activity level to cover your entire adventure.

Have fun!
