Zip lining, or zip trekking, involves travelling along a suspended cable between elevated platforms while secured in a harness. Participants glide across valleys, forest canopies or mountainous terrain, with speed controlled by gravity and braking systems. Some experiences form part of structured canopy trekking routes that combine short walks between platforms with multiple cable crossings.
ActivitySure can cover zip lining or zip trekking on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad. Both pre-booked experiences and those arranged during your trip may be covered, provided the appropriate Activities booked during your trip are typically treated as higher risk and may require a higher level of cover and additional premium.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go zip lining?
Zip lining is especially popular in destinations with forested or mountainous landscapes. Costa Rica is well known for canopy tours that pass through rainforest settings, while Puerto Rico offers routes across tropical valleys. New Zealand features zip line networks integrated into adventure tourism areas, often combining scenic views with structured safety systems.
Here's why zip lining / zip trekking travel insurance matters:
Zip lining involves height, speed and reliance on harness and braking systems. Although tours are supervised, impact injuries, harness-related strains or landing incidents can occur. In more remote environments, access to immediate medical facilities may be limited. If you are injured while abroad, medical treatment or repatriation may be required. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially during your trip.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all safety instructions and briefings provided by guides or instructors.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, including a properly fitted harness and helmet.
- Have your harness and attachment points checked before stepping off the platform
- Keep hands clear of the pulley system and cables at all times.
- Follow braking and landing instructions carefully and observe any height or weight guidelines.
