The world is full of surprises—but some places go far beyond the ordinary. From landscapes that seem pulled from science fiction to natural wonders that defy logic, these five destinations will make you question if you're still on Earth. While exploring the surreal and extraordinary, it's important to be prepared for the unexpected. That’s where travel insurance comes in—giving you peace of mind no matter how far off the beaten path your journey takes you.

1. Waipu Glow Worm Cave, New Zealand

Step into a hidden world beneath the surface where thousands of bioluminescent glow worms light up the darkness like a starry sky. The Waipu Glow Worm Cave offers a magical underground experience that feels more like a dream than reality. With slippery paths and a sense of the unknown, it’s a perfect reminder that a good travel insurance policy can bring peace of mind to your glowing adventure.

 

2. Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia

Stretching endlessly into the horizon, the world’s largest salt flat becomes a giant mirror after rain, reflecting the sky so perfectly it blurs the line between land and clouds. Walking across Salar de Uyuni feels like floating through an alternate dimension. Its remote location and unpredictable conditions make it all the more important to be prepared for the unexpected.

 

3. Red Beach, Panjin, China

Blanketed in vivid crimson seaweed, Red Beach looks more like an abstract painting than a real landscape. This striking wetland turns scarlet every autumn, offering an otherworldly contrast to the usual ocean blues. While exploring its surreal scenery, it’s smart to have travel insurance backing you up—especially if you plan to navigate the area’s delicate boardwalks and waterways.

 

4. Chocolate Hills, Bohol, Philippines

Rolling across the island of Bohol, these perfectly rounded hills turn brown in the dry season, resembling giant scoops of cocoa powder. The Chocolate Hills are both a natural marvel and a visual illusion—too uniform to seem real, yet entirely natural. Trekking among them is a unique experience, but tropical weather and terrain mean it's wise to be covered in case plans go off-script.

 

5. Lofoten, Norway

Jagged peaks rise straight from the Arctic Ocean, charming fishing villages cling to dramatic coastlines, and during certain months, the sun never sets—or never rises. Lofoten is nature’s contradiction: harsh yet stunning, remote yet inviting. From northern lights to icy hikes, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel small in the best way—and a good reason to pack travel insurance along with your thermal gear.

You should read your policy document (PDS) carefully to ensure you select the cover that is best for you.

You can add optional cover for extras such as Rental Vehicle Excess if you are hiring a car, Sports Activities Pack if you’re feeling adventurous and Snow Cover if you are hitting the slopes. These can be added during the quote process.
