Do I need insurance to go WWOOFing?
Yes. It is required to be properly insured for WWOOFing activities. All WWOOFers must have travel medical insurance to cover illness, injury and other unexpected travel issues. Hosts may ask to see proof of insurance when WWOOFers arrive. If you already have health insurance that covers you in Canada, it is your responsibility to check that it will cover your activities while participating in WWOOF.
Travel & Medical Insurance
| While it’s unlikely that you’ll get hurt while WWOOFing, it is still necessary to have insurance! To protect yourself from accidents, we ask that you not participate in tasks that could put you in unnecessary physical danger. As a starting point for your research we have included two different insurance providers on this page: World Nomads Explorer plan and also Genki Insurance. While both cover volunteering, the policy may vary depending on where you live, check here for World Nomads and check here for Genki. As with all insurance, you should always check the policy wording before purchasing. Disclaimer: This page contains affiliate links.
