Our Canyoning Insurance policy options

Put simply, we offer three different policy options…

1. Travel Insurance

Our Sports Travel Insurance will cover you whilst canyoning abroad for leisure or competition, and includes cover for medical and repatriation costs, trip cancellation and curtailment, plus more.

2. Travel Insurance Bolt-On

If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for canyoning, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.

3. Sports Accident Insurance

Our Sports Accident Insurance is designed to protect you whilst canyoning in the UK, whether that be for leisure or competition. The policy provides a range of benefits including personal liability and income protection.

Canyoning Insurance - What makes us different

What does Canyoning Insurance cover?

From covering medical expenses to protecting your equipment should it get stolen whilst you’re on holiday, our Canyoning Travel Insurance provides specialist sports cover.

  • Emergency Medical Expenses & Repatriation – up to £10 million
  • Cancellation & Curtailment – up to £5000

How much does canyoning travel insurance cost?

Our canyoning travel insurance varies depending on length of trip, if you opt for single or an annual policy, plus the level of cover you select, either bronze, silver or gold.

Canyoning is often done as a one-off activity during your holiday, however many standard travel insurance policies don’t cover it. In this instance you can opt for an Activity TopUp cover, as a bolt-on to your existing policy.

Our TopUp cover to include canyoning starts from £27.16* for one-day cover in Europe.

*Price  based on a live quote made 26/3/25. Excess may apply.

Why do you need Canyoning Insurance?

Canyoning is potentially a dangerous sport with escape from the sides of canyons often impossible, and completion of the descent the only option.

Canyoning gear such as climbing hardware, static ropes, helmets, wetsuits and specifically designed shoes are worn to lessen the likelihood of serious injuries. Despite the specialised gear available trips and falls are commonplace and can result in fractures, breaks and in the worst-case scenarios head traumas. It is essential that you make sure you have suitable canyoning insurance in place prior to your participation.
