Heymondo Review 2025 – Why We Use It for Every Trip
We never travel without Heymondo — it’s the small thing that makes big adventures stress-free
When we travel, be it the arctic fjords of Norway or the hidden beaches of Portugal, one thing stays constant: our insurance. We’ve used Heymondo for every trip and in this Heymondo review you’ll see why we keep going back to it — especially because of its value for cancellation coverage and outdoor-activity protection.
What is Heymondo and who is it for?
Before taking an incy plunge, do like Jake and book travel insurance!
Heymondo is a travel insurance provider offering single-trip, multi-trip (annual) and long-stay options. Perfect for travel bloggers! If you’re a traveller who doesn’t just lounge by the hotel pool but hikes, explores or books early and wants the flexibility to cancel — then this one may fit you.
We use it on every trip because it delivers simplicity: one app, clear pricing, and broad activity coverage (with the right add-ons) — and that gives us peace of mind.
Our experience using Heymondo
Mushing in Svalbard!
We haven’t needed to file a major claim yet — thankfully — but we have used it consistently and here’s what stands out:
Buying the policy online took under five minutes.
We could select cancellation coverage and specify outdoor activities (hiking, kayaking) — which matters to us, since our travel style is about exploration not just lounging. Multiple reviews say Heymondo’s standard plans include many outdoor activities, though extreme sports may need extra add-ons.
In Svalbard, we had a snowmobile wreck. The guide confirmed it wasn’t our fault so we didn’t have anything to pay and we didn’t have anything broken (just hundreds of bruises!), but we were close to having to use our travel insurance for outdoor activities like snowmobiling!The app works smoothly: digital documents, visible coverage, and decent chat support. One review describes the app and assistance features as “very convenient.”
For us, the standout value has been trip cancellation combined with those outdoor-activity options. We often book ahead, sometimes in remote places where plans change. Having cancellation built in means we feel less risk.
For example, for our trip to Svalbard, we booked a premium policy with cancellation because it was in early 2022, COVID was still going around, and all activities we booked were non-refundable (and very expensive).
Heymondo review: Pros & cons
My packpack, my snowshoes and my travel insurance!
✅ Pros
Great value for travellers who go off the beaten path and want cancellation + outdoor activity coverage.
App, online purchase, and clear policy terms make it user-friendly.
Covers many common adventure activities without excessive add-ons.
⚠️ Cons & What to Watch
As with all insurance, extreme or highly risky sports may require additional coverage. For example: high-altitude trekking above 3,000-5,000 m may not be covered by the standard plan.
Always check the fine print: pre-existing medical conditions, age limits, and certain activities may be excluded.
While we haven’t tested the full claims process ourselves, some users report slower processing on more complex claims. Worth keeping in mind.
Heymondo vs other travel insurance providers
When I (Eli) had the brilliant idea to take a dip in the Louisiana bayou, Jake reminded me there’s no travel insurance covering swimming with alligators (wilingly)!
If you’re comparing options, here’s how Heymondo stacks up:
Compared to SafetyWing: Heymondo tends to offer stronger cancellation + activity coverage; SafetyWing is more budget-friendly for long-term nomads. We Seek Travel
Compared to World Nomads: World Nomads might punch harder in extreme adventure sport coverage; Heymondo covers many activities but check the add-on policy for high-risk ones.
For us, because we travel multiple trips per year, often in nature, sometimes remote, Heymondo delivers exactly what we need.

Is Heymondo worth it? Our verdict
Do get travel insurance if you go polar bear watching! (here in Churchill, Canada)
Yes — if your travel style is anything like ours (you book ahead, venture into nature, want cancellation peace of mind, and like one trusted insurer).
If your trips are short-city breaks only, and you never stray far from comfort, you might get away with a more basic provider — but we prefer to not worry. We’ve built our travels around reliability, and Heymondo supports that.
