Nothing like a good kayaking or rafting adventure – planned or unplanned! Here at World Nomads, when we think of kayaking or rafting, we think of 70's soft drink commercials, or a young Burt Reynolds paddling faster to the foreboding ambiance of banjo plucking, or more realistically: watching our friends freak out down some rapids on our last trip to Ubud.
When you get a travel insurance quote for your kayaking or rafting trip, you need to double-check the Adventure Sports & Activities roster. The following categories have coverage under our plans:
You will note that several activity options above mention international river grades. These river grades can be described:
International River Grading
When you are about to head down the river or rapids, always be aware of the rating. Read more about the International River Grading System from the American Whitewater association.
World Nomads won't insure you for kayaking/rafting down rivers of a Class 6 variety: "Extreme and Exploratory rapids."
See the list of International River Grades above.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) and travel - what you need to know
Please read your plan documents carefully. Cancellations due to fear of travel are not covered. However, our plan does not exclude losses associated with pandemic or epidemic conditions; meaning that if you, your traveling companion or family member were to become sick (after you purchase the plan) as a result of COVID-19, you could still receive benefits for losses covered by the plan.
