+ Travel Health Insurance (Click to review)
Travel Insurance:
Health and Accident Insurance for International trips
We encourage you to contact your health benefits provider regarding your medical insurance abroad to verify if you are covered. Medical insurance for travel abroad is available without the trip cancellation component from various travel insurance companies. If you decide to purchase any Travel Medical Insurance, you should carefully read the terms and conditions and claims payment before purchasing.
Summit does not sell these plans, so we encourage you to research options and speak to someone who does sell them. A specific Travel Medical Insurance plan that we’ve heard travelers like is Geo Blue Travel Health Insurance. Here’s a link that you might find useful as you begin to investigate these options: https://www.geobluetravelinsurance.com/
Traditional Travel Cancellation Insurance
If you wish to obtain traditional cancellation insurance protection, there are several companies who provide this insurance and their information can be obtained online. Coverage and payment of benefits, and documents required for claims vary between companies. We would strongly encourage you to read and understand the terms and conditions or description of coverage limitations and claims payment procedures before purchasing any travel insurance.

Aruba: San Nicolas
San Nicolas, Aruba — San Nicolas is the second-largest city on the Caribbean island of Aruba, located on its southeastern coast. Often nicknamed the “Sunrise City,” it offers a very different feel compared to the island’s more tourist-heavy resort areas. San Nicolas is known for being authentic, laid-back, and culturally rich. While much of Aruba’s tourism is centered around luxury resorts and nightlife in the west, San Nicolas feels quieter and more local—giving visitors a more genuine Caribbean experience.
San Nicolas is often described as the “soul” of Aruba—a place where you can experience local life, art, and history away from the polished resort scene. It’s ideal if you want a quieter, more cultural side of the island rather than just beaches and nightlife. It is known for a charming downtown with shops, bars and historic buildings, unique attractions, museums and cultural sites reflecting Aruba’s industrial and community history and beautiful, less crowded beaches like Baby Beach and Rodger’s Beach.
