What is tubing?

Tubing is a recreational activity where individuals float on an inflatable tube, either on water, snow or in specially designed parks. It’s a relaxing or adrenaline-filled activity depending on the setting and speed, and is enjoyed by families and thrill-seekers alike.

Do I need travel insurance for tubing?

Yes. Whether you're drifting peacefully on a river or tackling snowy slopes, tubing can still involve risks like bumps, flips or collisions. Travel insurance can help cover the cost of emergency medical treatment, cancellations or trip disruption.
