Our booking agent at GreenGo Travel told us that travel insurance is required. He said that the tour guide would ask to see a copy of the policy when we arrived on the islands. That didn't actually happen but I think it was required and it's always a good idea.
We recommend that your travel insurance cover the following:
• Trip & flight cancellation and interruption coverage
• Medical coverage - including coverage for emergency evacuation up to $200,000 USD
• Baggage loss protection
NOTE: Your cancellation coverage will likely cover situations where a medical issue before (yours or your travel partner’s) or a death in the family prevents you from traveling. Ask before you purchase.
What you actually book is up to you. If you are from the United States some policies will be secondary coverage to your existing medical insurance. World Nomad functions this way but it lowers the policy premium considerably.
We bought our policy in June of 2019 so that it covered any cancellation reason in the two months before our trip. The 15-day policy from World Nomad for $183 total. This included the following (secondary) medical coverage:
Medical Expense/Emergency Evacuation:
Emergency Accident or Sickness Medical Expense........ $100,000
Emergency Evacuation or Repatriation of Remains......... $300,000
Emergency Dental Treatment........................................... $750
Hospital Advancement....................................................... $500
