Activities
There is cover for most activities as long as they don’t form the reason for your trip and are incidental to your trip.
We are fully aware that people taking a gap year or backpacking may undertake the occasional ‘risky’ activity, so for the sake of clarity we have shown below what is and is not covered by this policy.
The following activities are not covered:
- Wintersports, mountain biking or rugby (unless you have paid the appropriate additional premium)
- Trekking above 6000 metres
- Scuba diving (unless accompanied by a qualified diving instructor, maximum depth 30 metres)
- Mountaineering with ropes
- Potholing
- Hang gliding
- Parapenting
- Travelling in an aircraft (other than as a fare paying passenger)
- Canyoning
In addition there are specific exclusions relating to motorcycling and quad bikes.
All other activities, therefore, by implication are included in this insurance provided they are incidental, and they have not been pre-planned and booked before your departure from United Kingdom, (if an activity/sport has been pre-planned please call us on 01428 778000).

Working/Volunteering
Most work and volunteer work is covered under the policy with only 4 main exclusions:-
- Working offshore (other than watersports),
- Working outside higher than 6 metres above the ground,
- Working underground,
- Use of chainsaws.
There is no personal liability cover whilst working, as this should be covered by an employer and we recommend you check this out.
If you are planning to work for a tour operator, they should insure you - check out MPI’s Resort Staff Insurance.
