Checklist

What to look for in island insurance

Key coverage areas for a worry-free island trip.

Medical coverage — Ensure scooter accidents, snorkeling injuries, and helicopter evacuation are covered. Island medical facilities can be limited.
Baggage delay threshold — EKTA covers delays from 4 hours. Most standard insurers require 12+ hours — check the fine print.
Multi-destination — If island hopping, check that your policy covers multiple countries. Some policies cover only the country of arrival.
Adventure activities — Confirm snorkeling, diving, jet-skiing, and ATV riding are included. These are often excluded from basic policies.
Flight compensation — Use AirHelp for delays 3+ hours on EU routes (€250–600 per person). They claim on your behalf for a success fee.
