Why Trip Insurance?
The weather in Alaska is what makes this place so special. Given the fact that the vast majority of our terrain is located above tree line, we are limited on the days we can access the mountains via helicopter. On these days there are endless Activities to entertain you while waiting for the storm to pass.
Luckily, there are many Trip Insurance options out there to help protect not only you in the case of an injury, but many also cover inclement weather related issues. Ie. not being able to fly on a bad weather day. If you have any remaining heli time, many insurance policies will cover the cost of those unused hours. Please ask us when booking what policies we recommend. There are also many credit cards that have built in trip insurance so be sure to do your homework prior to paying for your trip with us.
We cannot stress enough how important buying trip insurance can be as soon as you book your trip with us. If you get injured between the time your trip is booked and the start of your adventure with us, most insurance policies will cover the entire cost of the trip. If you get injured during your trip with us, they will also cover the cost of your trip.
