Having travel insurance is mandatory for participation in our trips. We may disqualify you from taking part in our adventure without any refunds if you do not have a proper insurance package.

Such insurance should cover emergency medical expenses for any personal injury, evacuation and repatriation, cancellation and curtailment and other reasonable expenses.

You should also make sure that your insurance package provides sufficient coverage against all other relevant risks, including but not limited to third party. It is also your responsibility to keep your insurance provider sufficiently informed of your travel plans and the nature of hazards and risks involved.

If any insurance case happens, it will be your responsibility to inform your insurance provider and to comply with all procedures relating to indemnification/reimbursement. We shall provide reasonable assistance, but shall not be responsible for any positive outcome of the insurance claim whatsoever.

• Participants are required to disclose any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or health concerns that may affect their participation in the trip. This information should be provided in advance in a waiver sent by Seabreeze, for safety and liability purposes. Seabreeze reserves the right to deny participation if medical conditions or restrictions pose a risk to the participant or others.
