Increasing numbers of retirees are heading off on adventure holidays, claims AA Travel Insurance, meaning it is imperative that they are adequately insured.
The company states that 27 per cent of those of retirement age have been on over three holidays in the past year.
In addition, 22 per cent said they had tried or wanted to try activities such as hot air ballooning while others were keen to learn to fly, climb mountains or attempt scuba diving.
A further one in five has gone or would like to go on safari.
Alison Crossley, manager of AA Travel Insurance, commented: "Exotic destinations are much more accessible now and older people arent letting age get in the way of having a good time and exploring the world.
"Its great that theyre keen to try adventurous activities, but like their younger counterparts they need to ensure theyre adequately protected whilst theyre abroad."
Those thinking of taking an adventure holiday in the near future would be well advised to look around for the best travel insurance for their needs, as prices can vary dramatically.
