More information on adventure travel insurance

If you are going to take part in in sports or activities on holiday, you want to be sure you are covered should you have an accident. As a travel insurance policy does not cover all sports and activities on holiday as standard, you will have to make sure that the activities that you plan to undertake are covered.

Columbus Direct International covers 33 sport and activities as standard for you, including mountain biking, tennis, scuba diving, trekking and surfing.

Other more hazardous activities such as bungee jumping or abseiling can be covered at a small extra premium.

• Sports and activities covered as standard
