Tree top canopy walking involves moving through elevated walkways, rope bridges and platforms suspended between trees. Routes are designed to let participants explore forest canopies from above, combining gentle adventure with scenic views, and are usually completed at a steady pace rather than as a high-speed or technical activity.
ActivitySure can cover tree top canopy walking on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad. This can include participation in organised canopy walks as well as supervised set up activities that form part of the experience, such as assisting with basic platform preparation under instructor guidance.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go tree top canopy walking?
Tree top canopy walks are popular in forested destinations where wildlife and landscapes are best viewed from above. Costa Rica is well known for its rainforest canopy experiences, often set within national parks. New Zealand offers elevated walkways in native forests, combining conservation and tourism. In Malaysia, canopy walks are commonly found in tropical jungle settings and are often included as part of wider eco-tourism experiences.
Here's why tree top canopy walking travel insurance matters:
Tree top canopy walking involves moving across suspended structures. Slips, loss of balance or harness-related issues can lead to injury, and medical treatment may be required if something goes wrong while you are abroad. Having appropriate travel insurance in place can help protect you financially if you need medical care or assistance during your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions given by instructors, guides or course organisers.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment provided, including harnesses and safety lines.
- Keep clips and harnesses secured until an instructor confirms it is safe to move
- Move steadily across bridges and platforms, maintaining spacing between participants.
- Avoid crowding or rushing, particularly at platforms or narrow sections.
Frequently asked questions
Tree top canopy walking involves following a raised route through trees using walkways, bridges, platforms, or suspended paths. It is more structured than a normal woodland walk and usually takes place as part of an organised forest attraction.
Yes, ActivitySure can cover tree top canopy walking when it has been added to your policy. This applies when you’re taking part as a visitor or participant on an organised route.
There’s also cover available if you’ll be setting up the tree top routes. Setting up a course is different from taking part, because it can involve installing, rigging, or preparing platforms, ropes, bridges or other course equipment. This risk is higher, and as such would also need to be shown on your Policy Certificate.
No. Tree top canopy walking doesn’t usually involve harnesses or helmets, whereas high ropes do. Although they both happen at height, high ropes can include obstacles, climbing sections, harnessed challenges or zip lines.
Make sure that you select the right activity when you’re going through the quote process. Claims will only be considered for the activities on your Policy Certificate.
Yes. When you add an activity to your policy, you’re covered for emergency medical expenses while taking part. You would be covered for injuries from participation, including trips or falls. You must follow the organiser’s safety instructions and use any required safety equipment.
You should take part through a recognised activity provider or organised attraction. Follow the marked route, listen to the safety briefing, and stay within the areas open to participants. You should always take care to minimise the risks of any activity as much as you can.
