Trip Cancellation Insurance
Coastal Bliss Adventures highly recommends that all participants obtain trip cancellation insurance either included in credit card use or through an independent travel insurance broker. Be aware that most insurers do not cover evacuation costs for pre-existing conditions and non-disclosure of medical history and conditions relevant to the safe completion of travel.     
Medical and/or Evacuation Insurance (Trip Interruption)
If you are not a resident of Canada, you may want to consider extended medical coverage for the period of time you are visiting Canada. Before purchasing this insurance, check with your present insurance provider as you may already be covered. Evacuation costs, should they arise, are your responsibility. In some remote areas it can be quite significant. If this is a concern, please arrange to have this coverage in place with a provider of your choosing.
