Adventure Travel Insurance


At OzXposure we believe that your safety and enjoyment are the most important parts of your holiday. Therefore, comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory whenever you travel. Before you join your tour you MUST be covered by insurance that includes adequate coverage for baggage, medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should you become too ill to continue to travel. In addition to this, we strongly recommend that you include coverage for tour cancellation in the event that you must cancel your reservation prior to departure because of serious illness or injury to yourself, a member of your immediate family or traveling companions. (Please see sections 3, 4, and 5 of our Booking Terms).

If you join an OzXposure tour without adequate insurance you MAY NOT be allowed to continue with no right to a refund. It is a mistake to think that it will never happen to you.

The OzXposure policy as shown below is specially designed to include all the activities listed in our brochure and on this webite. It will also cover any other travel plans you may have in Australia & New Zealand. If you have arranged alternative insurance please ensure your own policy covers all the optional activities you may wish to participate in. Please note that travel insurance provided free of charge by credit card companies usually does not provide cover for adventurous activities, tour cancellation or high enough medical coverage.
