What is Tubing?

Tubing is a recreational activity where individuals ride on top of an inner tube, either on water, snow, or through the air. It is a fun and exhilarating way to experience the outdoors, suitable for all ages. Tubing can be done on rivers, at snow parks, or even pulled behind boats.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Tubing?

Yes. Tubing can involve risks such as collisions, flips, or sudden stops. Whether you're planning a leisurely float down a gentle river or an adventurous ride down snowy hills, travel insurance can help cover medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
