Bungee Jumping Travel InsuranceLets You Take The Plunge With Confidence

If you have a multi-destination itinerary, you can select every country.

Many adventure seekers crave the adrenaline rush of free-falling from breathtaking heights while connected to safety by a single elastic cord. But before leaping from New Zealand’s Nevis Highwire, soaring above Switzerland’s Verzasca Dam, or experiencing the heart-stopping drop at South Africa’s Bloukrans Bridge, you need protection in case a cancelled flight or injury derails your bungee jumping trip.

See how Adventure Travel Insurance protects you and your once-in-a-lifetime experience, then choose the best plan for your adrenaline-fueled journey.

Why Bungee Jumpers Need Specialized Travel Insurance

Bungee jumping epitomizes the calculated risk that defines adventure travel. While operators maintain strict safety protocols, unforeseen circumstances can still impact your trip. Your flight could be delayed or canceled. Personal items or specialized gear might be lost or damaged during transit. An injury could wipe out the remainder of your planned jumps.


Proper protection becomes even more crucial in remote locations like Costa Rica's Monteverde Cloud Forest or China's Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, where medical facilities might be limited.


Travel insurance offers financial reimbursement when plans unravel. You can recover prepaid, non-refundable expenses if unexpected events, such as travel disruptions or equipment issues, occur. The right policy ensures that your bucket-list bungee experience isn't completely lost if circumstances beyond your control intervene.

Pro Tip: When planning international bungee jumps, always verify the operator’s safety certifications and regularly check U.S. government travel advisories for your destination.

Essential Coverage for Bungee Jumping Adventures

The right travel insurance for paragliding and hang gliding enthusiasts should provide comprehensive protection. Coverage and benefits will vary based on your chosen plan, but these essential protections should be on your pre-flight checklist:

The ideal bungee jumping travel insurance shields you regardless of the location or height of your leap. Remember that coverage and benefits vary depending on your selected plan. Here’s how Detour protects thrill-seeking travelers:

  • Trip cancellation or interruption: Bungee adventures take you to distant locations and require a significant investment. You’ll want protection if you need to cancel or your trip faces delays due to:
    • Pre-trip illness or injury
    • Family emergencies requiring cancellation
    • Transportation disruptions or cancellations
  • Emergency medical coverage: While bungee jumping operations prioritize safety, accidents can still happen during your adventure. The right plan provides:
    • Coverage for emergency treatment, hospitalization, and medications
    • Evacuation from remote jumping locations to appropriate medical facilities
    • Treatment for related extreme activities during your trip
  • Baggage protection: Your specialized gear and personal belongings deserve protection. You can get:
    • Reimbursement for damaged personal equipment
    • Coverage for lost or stolen bags and valuables

Real-World Protection for Your Bungee Adventure

You've finally booked your dream bungee jumping expedition to Queenstown, New Zealand—home to multiple world-class jumping sites with breathtaking mountain and lake views. The day before your scheduled jump at the famous Kawarau Bridge, you slip on wet rocks during a hike and sprain your ankle. The local doctor advises against jumping for at least a week.


Without travel insurance, you'd lose your non-refundable jump reservation and pre-paid accommodation, and potentially face rebooking fees for your return flight. With proper coverage, you're protected: trip interruption benefits can reimburse your unused accommodations and missed jump and even help cover additional expenses if you need to modify your return travel plans.
