TRAVEL INSURANCE
Participants on tours by Open Sky Expeditions must carry travel insurance that at least includes emergency medical evacuation coverage. We strongly recommend purchase of a comprehensive policy that also includes trip cancellation insurance covering illness or accident both prior and during the program as well as coverage for baggage loss or delay. On this trip in particular, trip delay benefits may be particularly useful if the chartered flight returning from Katmai to Kodiak is delayed by weather.
While you are welcome to get any plan that you feel suits you best, we recommend the options available via our partner Travel Insured International, a leading travel insurance provider with over 20 years of experience in the industry.
In addition to meeting the required emergency medical evacuation benefit noted above, their protection plans include pre-departure benefits such as Trip Cancellation and post-departure benefits such as Accident & Sickness Medical, Baggage/Baggage Delay, Missed Connection, Trip Delay and Trip Interruption. Additionally, their plans include 24/7 Emergency Assistance Services provided via an independent organization.
Our experience with TII thus has also thus far been excellent, with timely, thorough responses to all our questions, and a 100% record so far in honoring any claims since we began working with them in 2017.
