Esportes de aventura, Seguro Viagem e o que nossos planos cobrem
O mundo é vasto, e isso só pode significar uma coisa – aventura é o que não falta! Na World Nomads, queremos ajudá-lo a aproveitar ao máximo suas férias e o que o planeta tem a oferecer. É por isso que oferecemos um Seguro Viagem que cobre mais de 150 esportes e atividades de aventura. Portanto, se você planeja mergulhar no México ou andar de mountain bike no Himalaia, pode ser uma boa ideia obter um Seguro Viagem para cobrir suas aventuras.
Todo mundo imagina o final perfeito para um dia divertido de ski: contar histórias ao redor de uma fogueira. Mas e se o dia terminar com você contando ao médico como bateu em uma árvore ou quebrou a perna? As coisas nem sempre saem como planejado, então todos os nossos planos incluem assistência de emergência profissional 24 horas por dia na forma de uma linha direta de suporte.
Algumas das situações cobertas pelo seu Seguro Viagem de aventura podem incluir:
Atendimento Médico de Emergência e Evacuação
Se você cair de um buggy enquanto dirige pela areia a quilômetros de qualquer cidade, podemos ajudá-lo a encontrar o hospital mais próximo e até providenciar o transporte para levá-lo até lá o mais rápido possível. Nossa equipe de Assistência Emergencial também pode entrar em contato com sua família no Brasil para informá-los sobre o que pode ter acontecido e seu estado de saúde.
Documentos Extraviados
Se você estiver pescando em alto mar e seus documentos caírem na água enquanto você lida com um atum de 110 kg, seu Seguro Viagem pode providenciar substituições para garantir que suas férias continuem e você possa voltar para casa. Nossa equipe de Assistência Emergencial também pode ajudar aqui, oferecendo orientação a sua família de como enviar dinheiro ao exterior.
Perda de Bagagem
Tudo pronto para os Alpes quando você descobre que a companhia aérea perdeu seus esquis e todas as suas roupas de inverno? Infelizmente, isso pode acontecer, então seu Seguro Viagem de aventura pode reembolsá-lo pelo equipamento de substituição enquanto a companhia aérea resolve as coisas. Lembre-se de preencher toda a papelada adequada no aeroporto e tê-la em mãos para quando estiver pronto para acionar o seguro.
Cancelamento de viagem
Você pode ter terminado a caminhada do dia pelo norte da Espanha sem problemas, mas um de seus amigos pode não ter tido tanta sorte. Se um de seus companheiros de viagem se machucar ou adoecer e você tiver que interromper sua viagem, sua apólice poderá ajudá-lo a voltar para casa e cobrir suas despesas.
Que atividades são cobertas?
Existem alguns esportes radicais que nós, brasileiros, amamos especialmente, como o surf e o rapel. Embora muitas modalidades desses esportes estejam incluídas em nossos planos, há outras que são populares entre os brasileiros, como paraquedismo e alpinismo, que podem não estar.
Antes de viajar, você deve sempre ler as diferentes apólices de seguro da World Nomads - Standard, Explorer e Explorer Plus- para garantir que você tenha cobertura para tudo o que planeja fazer. Verifique também se seus companheiros de viagem estão planejando atividades de aventura para as quais você também deseja obter cobertura. Você não poderá atualizar seu plano existente no meio da viagem, portanto, sempre tome a decisão certa antes de sair de casa.
O que não está coberto
Embora a World Nomads possa oferecer seguro para uma ampla gama de esportes e eventos imprevistos, ela não pode cobrir tudo. A seguir estão algumas situações que não são cobertas:
- Emergências de saúde relacionadas a quaisquer condições médicas pré-existentes.
- Esportes ou atividades não cobertos pela apólice que você escolheu.
- Participação profissional numa atividade ou esporte (ex: mountain biking ou surf profissional).
- Qualquer coisa que aconteça se você tiver usado drogas ou álcool.
- Comportamento imprudente ao correr riscos desnecessários.
- Equipamentos esportivos danificados durante a viagem para o seu destino de férias podem ser cobertos, mas danos durante o uso, não.
Dicas de atividades de aventura para te ajudar a ter uma experiência mais segura
Escolha os guias certos
Mesmo que apenas para flutuar na piscina do hotel, você deve sempre pensar nos riscos que o rodeiam. Portanto, se você planeja descer algumas corredeiras praticando canyoning, deve estar ainda mais ciente dos riscos que pode enfrentar!
Ao escolher uma operadora turística, verifique sempre se ela está devidamente certificada e registrada para guiá-lo em sua nova e emocionante aventura.
Escolha o equipamento certo
Certifique-se de que está devidamente protegido para os esportes de aventura que planeia praticar. Verifique novamente a rede de segurança do iate de alta velocidade e coloque seu capacete e protetores ao andar de skate.
Esteja ciente de suas próprias limitações
Você pode caminhar todo dia pela cidade, mas isso não significa que seu corpo estará pronto para um dia inteiro de mountain bike nos Altos Pirinéus. Sempre avalie se a atividade na qual deseja se envolver é adequada para seus níveis específicos de condicionamento físico.
Se você tiver alguma dúvida sobre a cobertura, basta nos perguntar – ficaremos felizes em ajudar.

Here are our most frequently asked questions about overseas medical insurance. You can also find the answers to other questions in our Helpdesk or you can ask our customer service team. If you’re looking for general travel advice, you can ask our community at Ask a Nomad.
-
Does my insurance cover medical costs upfront or do I have to pay and claim later?
Who pays depends on what’s happened! If it’s an emergency situation where hospital admission and/or medical evacuation is required, the insurer covers these costs upfront (provided the incident is covered as per the policy wording, of course).
-
Do you have a list of doctors/dentist so I know where to go in case something happens and make sure I’m covered?
We don't publish a list of doctors or dentists. If you need help finding one, call our assistance teams, and they'll guide to the most appropriate medical professional.
-
Why don't you cover ongoing treatment at home?
Travel insurance policies are designed for accidents or unexpected illness overseas. They don't stand in place of primary medical insurance or government healthcare.
Seguro Viagem para surfistas brasileiros
Chegaram as férias, é hora de surfar! Pegue uma onda no paraíso dos surfistas – mas não se esqueça do seu seguro.
- As featured in:
As featured in:
Você já conhece tudo que o litoral brasileiro tem a oferecer e agora é hora de partir para Gold Coast, Indonésia, Oahu ou todas aquelas ondas com as quais você sempre sonhou. Mas um caldo inesperado ou um encontro com uma rocha submersa podem impor uma pausa ou prematura ao seu sonho. Portanto, antes de buscar as ondas, é uma boa ideia contratar um Seguro Viagem.
Seguro Viagem para surfistas brasileiros
Você pode até ser um surfista tarimbado e conhecer os riscos, mas surfar sabendo que está protegido em caso de acidente só melhora sua experiência. Uma apólice de viagem da World Nomads para surf pode cobrir:
Perda de bagagem: E se a companhia aérea extraviar sua valiosa prancha e outras bagagens antes mesmo que você veja o mar? Certifique-se de informar imediatamente a perda à companhia aérea e obter comprovante por escrito, preenchendo o formulário P.I.R (Property Irregularity Report).
Documentos perdidos: Perdeu seus documentos de viagem e carteira pulando de uma cidade litorânea para outra na Nicarágua? Você pode contar com seu Seguro Viagem para garantir que as substituições sejam mais tranquilas.
Atendimento médico de emergência: em um minuto você está voando sobre as ondas, no próximo você leva um caldo. Fazer um Seguro Viagem para questões médicas de emergência no exterior pode ter sido a melhor decisão que você tomou antes de viajar.
Transporte: as melhores ondas do mundo não necessariamente ficam próximas ao hospital. Seu Seguro Viagem pode ajudá-lo a sair do paraíso isolado do surfista e se dirigir ao centro médico mais próximo para tratamento.
Cancelamento de viagem: Se você ou um acompanhante sofrer um acidente nas ondas ou ficar doente, o que significa que sua viagem terá que ser interrompida, sua apólice pode ajudá-lo a voltar para casa e recuperar suas despesas de viagem pré-pagas.
Além do surf, sua apólice World Nomads também pode cobrir:
- Surf terrestre
- Stand-up paddle surf (SUP)
- Windsurf
- Sandboard
- Kiteboarding
- Wakeboarding
Leia sua apólice de Seguro Viagem detalhadamente, pois certas formas complementares de tratamento médico podem não ser cobertas por acidentes relacionados ao surfe.
O que não está coberto pelo Seguro Viagem para surf?
A World Nomads quer contribuir para que as pessoas possam explorar tudo que o mundo tem a oferecer. Mas você não deve visitar regiões que forem consideradas inseguras ou desaconselháveis para viajar, e você sempre precisa ser sensato e tomar cuidado. A World Nomads não pode cobrir tudo, portanto, esteja ciente de alguns pontos, como:
- Não vá para o mar depois de beber ou usar drogas.
- Não podemos oferecer cobertura se você não seguir as orientações de seu médico após um acidente.
- Você deve sempre cuidar de seus objetos pessoais.
- Se algo acontecer com você como resultado de uma condição médica pré-existente, seu tratamento não poderá ser coberto.
Se você é iniciante, faça aulas em uma escola de surf. Não procure um tubo ou uma rampa direto!
Como aproveitar ao máximo seu Seguro Viagem
Como surfista, há uma boa chance de você querer experimentar outros esportes ou atividades de aventura durante as férias.
A World Nomads oferece cobertura para mais de 150 esportes e atividades diferentes e emocionantes que você pode experimentar enquanto viaja pelo exterior. Mas você deve estudar os diferentes planos - Standard, Explorer e Explorer Plus - para decidir qual é o certo para você.
Aproveitar suas férias ao máximo geralmente significa tomar as decisões certas. Então, ao sair para surfar:
- fique de olho nos alertas de tempestade
- reconheça os seus próprios limites e respeite os sinais de alerta do oceano
- verifique a área com antecedência e fique atento a rochas e recifes submersos
- pode ser uma boa ideia surfar com outras pessoas para que vocês possam se revezar para ficar com as coisas de todos na praia. Seu seguro não cobrirá a perda de seus pertences se eles forem deixados sem vigilância.
Obviamente, em férias de surf, é para isso que você deseja uma cobertura específica. Mas os planos de Seguro Viagem da World Nomads cobrem muitas outras situações inesperadas e às vezes inevitáveis que podem acontecer quando você está viajando.
Você pode precisar de cuidados médicos depois de torcer o tornozelo subindo a colina para outra praia ou depois de comer frutos do mar locais que não caíram muito bem. Ainda existe a possibilidade de você pegar o COVID-19. Aconteça o que acontecer, o Seguro Viagem para emergências médicas é importante, pois pode fornecer assistência e atenção médica quando você estiver longe de casa.
A equipe de assistência de emergência da World Nomads também pode oferecer ajuda 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, em diversos eventos inesperados. Isso pode incluir ajudar a encontrar o hospital ou delegacia de polícia mais próximos ou informar sua família no Brasil sobre qualquer emergência e ajudá-lo a receber valores de maneira rápida e fácil se você estiver em dificuldades.
Obviamente, este é apenas um breve resumo de por que é uma boa ideia ter um Seguro Viagem se você estiver de férias para surfar. Para obter informações mais detalhadas, leia atentamente as opções de apólice disponíveis. Se você tiver alguma dúvida, entre em contato.

Travel Insurance for 150+ Adventure Sports and Activities
Travel insurance designed for adventures while traveling.

Adventure sports, travel insurance and what’s covered by our plans
It’s a wide, wide world, and that can only mean one thing – Adventure! Here at World Nomads, we believe in helping you get the most out of your vacation and the most out of what the planet has to offer. That’s why we offer travel insurance covering more than 150 adventure sports and activities. So if you’re planning on scuba diving in Mexico or mountain biking the Himalayas, it may be a good idea to get travel insurance to cover your adventures.
Everyone envisages the end of a fun day skiing telling stories around a log fire, but what if it ends up with you telling the doctor how you hit a tree or broke your leg? Things don’t always go as planned, so all our policies include round-the-clock professional emergency assistance in the form of a support hotline.
Some of the situations covered by your adventure travel insurance may include:
Emergency Medical Care and Evacuation
If you tumble out of a dune-buggy miles from anywhere, we can help direct you to the nearest hospital and may even be able to arrange the transportation to get you there as soon as possible. Our Emergency Assistance team may also be able to contact your family back in Brazil to let them know what might have happened and how you are getting on.
Lost documents
If you’re out deep-sea fishing when your documents fell overboard while hauling in a 110kg tuna, your travel insurance may be able to arrange replacements to ensure your vacation continues and you’ll be able to get back home. Our Emergency Assistance team may be able to help here as well, offering guidance on getting money wired from overseas.
Baggage Loss
All ready to hit the Alpine slopes only to discover the airline has lost your skis and all your winter clothing? Unfortunately, it can happen, so your adventure travel insurance may be able to reimburse you for replacement gear while the airline sorts things out. Just remember to complete all the proper paperwork at the airport and keep it safe for when you’re ready to claim.
You might have finished the day’s trekking across Northern Spain without a hitch, but one of your buddies might not have been so lucky. If one of your traveling companions injures themselves or falls ill and you have to cut your trip short, your policy may be able to help you get back home and cover you for lost expenses.
What activities are covered?
There are some radical sports which we in Brazil particularly love, such as surfing and rappelling. While many forms of these sports are included in our policies, there are others which are popular amongst Brazilians, such as skydiving and mountain climbing, which may not be.
Before traveling, you should always read through the different World Nomads insurance policies - Standard, Explorer and Explorer Plus - to make sure you get coverage for all you plan on doing. Also check whether your travel companions are planning any adventure activities that you might want to get coverage for as well. You won’t be able to upgrade your existing plan mid-trip, so always make the right decision before leaving home.
What’s not covered
While World Nomads may provide insurance for a wide range of sports and unforeseen events, it can’t cover everything. The following are some situations that won’t be covered:
- Healthcare emergencies related to any pre-existing medical conditions.
- Sports or activities not covered in the policy you have chosen.
- Professional participation in an activity or sport (e.g.: professional mountain biking or surfing).
- Anything that happens if you have taken drugs or alcohol. Water and wine don’t mix!
- Reckless behavior or taking needless risk.
- Sports equipment damaged while traveling to your vacation destination may be covered, but damage while in use won’t be.
Adventure activity tips to help you have a safer experience
Choose the right guide
Even if you’re just floating on a tube in the hotel pool, you should always be aware of the risks surrounding you. So if you’re planning to tube down some canyon rapids, you should be that much more aware of risks you face!
When choosing a tour operator, always check they are properly certified and registered to guide you through your exciting new adventure.
Choose the right gear
Make sure you are properly protected for the adventure sports you plan on doing. Double-check the harness on that high-speed yacht and pop on your helmet and pads when going skateboarding.
Be aware of your own limitations
You may ride around town every day at home, but that doesn’t mean that your body will be ready for a full day’s mountain biking in the high Pyrenees. Always take a step back and sensibly consider whether the activity you want to get involved in is suitable for your specific levels of fitness.
If you have any questions about coverage, just ask us – we’re happy to help.
World Nomads covers more than 150 activities and sports, and if it’s not on the list you can contact us and we’ll let you know if we’ll cover it.

Surfing travel insurance
World-class breaks and classic beach towns. Surf’s up! Where’s your travel insurance?
- As featured in:
As featured in:
Stoked to be hitting those waves you’ve only dreamed of until now? You’ve mastered all that Brazil’s coasts have to offer and now it’s off to the Gold Coast, Indonesia or Oahu. But an awkward wipeout or an encounter with hidden rock could bring your dream to a premature end. So before paddling out, it’s a good idea to have your travel insurance in place.
What’s covered by travel insurance for surfing?
You might be a seasoned surfer and know the risks, but riding the waves knowing that you’re covered in the event of an accident makes you a smart surfer. A World Nomads travel policy for surfing may cover:
-
Baggage Loss: What if the airline misplaces your prized board and other baggage before you’ve even seen the ocean? Make sure you follow the correct Property Irregularity Procedures and your insurance may mean you can still head to the beach.
-
Lost documents: Mislaid your travel documents and wallet hopping from one beach town to another in Nicaragua? You may be able to rely on your travel insurance to ensure arranging replacements is smooth and easy.
-
Emergency Medical Care: One minute you’re flying across the waves, the next you’ve seriously wiped out. Getting overseas travel insurance for urgent or emergency medical issues before traveling may have been the best decision you make if you have an accident or even suffer a disability.
-
Transportation: The world’s best swells aren’t necessarily conveniently located next to the local hospital. Your travel insurance may well help you get from your secluded surfer’s paradise to the nearest medical center for treatment.
-
Trip cancellation: If you or a travel companion has an accident on the waves or falls ill, meaning your trip is cut short, your policy may help you get back home and recover your pre-paid travel expenses.
Besides wave surfing, your World Nomads policy may also cover:
- Land surfing
- Stand-up paddle surfing
- Windsurfing
- Sandboarding
- Kitesurfing
- Wakeboarding
Be sure to read through your travel insurance policy carefully as certain complementary forms of medical treatment may not be covered for surfing-related accidents.
What's not covered for surfing travel insurance?
World Nomads believes in providing support so that everyone has the chance to explore all the world has to offer. But you shouldn’t visit regions that have been deemed unsafe or unadvisable for travel, and you always need to be sensible and take care. World Nomads can’t cover everything, so please be aware of a few things, such as:
- If you’re a beginner, take lessons at a surf school. Don’t go looking for a wave ‘pocket’ or a ‘ramp’!
- Don’t go out on the ocean after drinking or taking drugs.
- We can’t cover you if you don’t follow your doctor’s advice after an accident.
- You should always take due care of your personal items when heading out on the waves.
- If anything happens to you as a result of a pre-existing medical condition, you can’t expect to have your treatment covered.
How to get the most out of your travel insurance
As a surfer, there’s a good chance you’re going to be up for trying a few other adventure sports or activities while on vacation.
World Nomads provides cover for more than 150 different exciting sports and activities that you can try out while traveling overseas. But you should always make sure you carefully read the different policies - Standard, Explorer and Explorer Plus - and decide which one is right for you.
Enjoying your vacation to the max often means making the right decisions. So when heading out for those early morning breaks:
- keep an eye on the storm warnings.
- recognize your own limits and respect the ocean’s warning signs.
- check out the area beforehand and watch out for submerged rocks and reefs.
- it may be a good idea to surf with others so you can always take it in turns to stay with everyone’s stuff on the beach. Your insurance won’t cover it if your belongings have been left unattended.
Obviously, on a surfing vacation, this is what you’ll want specific coverage for. But World Nomads travel policies cover many of those other unexpected and sometimes unavoidable things that can happen when away from home.
You may need medical attention after twisting your ankle hiking over the hill to another beach or eating some local seafood that didn’t agree with you. There is still even the possibility that you might catch COVID-19. Whatever happens, travel insurance for medical emergencies is important as it may provide you with medical care and attention when far from home.
The World Nomads emergency assistance team can also provide you with 24/7 help on a range of unexpected events. These may include providing guidance to the nearest hospital or police station or informing your family back home of any emergencies and helping receive funds quickly and easily if you find yourself in difficulty.
Obviously, this is just a brief outline of why it’s a good idea to have some travel insurance if you’re on a surfing vacation. For more detailed information, get a quote online and carefully read through the policy options available. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
