Transport

AIRPORT TRANSFERS IN THE USA : & CANADA: We recommend taxis and rideshare services like Lyft and Uber when traveling to and from hotels in the USA : and Canada. These services are widely available across North America, offering convenient and accessible transportation options. Private transfers in North America incur high costs and present an increased risk of missed connections due to their fixed schedules. In contrast, taxis and rideshares offer both cost-effectiveness and flexibility, ensuring a smoother journey. With transparent pricing, GPS : tracking, and on-demand availability, we believe that taxis and rideshare apps not only offer a reliable alternative to private transfers but also provide a secure, trustworthy, and budget-friendly transportation option for our customers. NORTH AMERICA VEHICLES: Our large fleet of 15-passenger vans are fully equipped with air-conditioning system, V8 engines and any camping or cooking equipment needed for your trip. Most have cloth-upholstered seats and carpeted interior with radio or CD players. Your luggage is typically transported in a trailer which is towed behind the van. The vans are regularly serviced by a well-established network of maintenance and service facilities throughout the continent. However, unforeseen maintenance problems can still occur while on the road and we appreciate the patience of our travellers as we make necessary repairs as quickly as possible. While your group will have a van for all included activities on the trip, the services of the van and leader may not be available for your use during free time, or after you have arrived for the day. If you need a special trip into town you may need to arrange transport or a taxi. Private vehicle

Accommodation

NORTH AMERICA CAMPING: The campsites that we use are selected for either their scenic beauty, their convenient location to places of interest and/or the facilities available. We aim to offer you a selection of different types of campsites. If youโ€™ve never camped before - no problem! We provide a complete set of camping and cooking equipment. This includes roomy easy-to-pitch tents, which are shared by only two people and are equipped with thin foam rubber sleping mats and vinyl floors. Your leader will show you how to pitch a tent on the first day. On many trips we also spend a few nights in reasonably priced hotels/motels/hostels (as per the itinerary). Remember that sleeping bags and a pillow are not provided. Check out the Packing section for more information. Youโ€™ll find the necessary facilities - toilets and in most cases showers, washing machines and dryers - at our campsites. The showers at some campsites may require a payment (usually no more than US$1-$3 for a quick shower). This is payable locally and is a contribution towards the cost of a limited water supply. Rarely, a campsite may only have cold water available for showers. In all campsites there are strict quiet hours when no loud noise is allowed, typically from 10pm to 7am. This means that all music, singing and noisy group gatherings must stop. We request that all our travellers respect these campsite rules. For trips where there are lodges/cabins used, couples travelling together may be separated when our rooming arrangements are based on single gender, however in some accommodations the group will be in mixed gender rooms. Our high-quality camping equipment (including tents) can be affected by bad weather conditions. This can result in some wet and cold conditions inside the tent. Your spirit of adventure and flexibility will help make your adventure trip an exciting and unforgettable experience. On nights where the group is camping, and weather conditions are extreme (such as snow or heavy rain), there may be an opportunity for the group (if everyone agrees) to stay at an alternative location such as a nearby hostel or hotel. When this is the case the upgrade is at your own expense. Camping (with facilities) (8 nights), Hotel (3 nights), Hostel (multishare) (1 night)

Guide

All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leader or local representative. The aim of the group leader or local representative is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced group leader or local representative however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your group leader or local representative is new to a particular region or training other group leader or local representative. Your group leader or local representative will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your group leader or local representative can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip. NORTH AMERICAN LEADERS ON CAMPING TRIPS: Our leaders in the US and Canada are also responsible for driving the van and navigating across the country. The allowable driving times for drivers is strictly controlled in North America. This ensures our drivers are well rested and are not over-tired from too many hours on the roads. Our North American camping trips are built around the co-operation and participation of all the group members under the supervision of the leader. Your leader will show the group how to set up and use the camp equipment, and form work groups to take turns cooking, cleaning and shopping. Everyone is expected participate and carry their share of the workload, making camp chores easier. If the whole group participates it will be quicker, easier and more fun. Itโ€™s strictly forbidden for non-qualified rangers to present any information about some National Parks in North America, therefore we adopt a system (as requested by the park rangers) where our leader will encourage travellers to visit the information centres in the National Parks for details about the site.

  • Day 1 Day 1: San Francisco
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: San Francisco

      Welcome to California! Your adventure begins in San Francisco โ€“ The City by the Bay that boasts a beautiful setting and a vibrant, multicultural heart. Youโ€™ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight, followed by an optional group dinner. If you arrive early, maybe check out the vintage stores along funky Haight Street or catch the tram down to the waterfront.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Yosemite National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Yosemite National Park

      This morning, youโ€™ll drive into the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to your destination โ€“ the magnificent Yosemite National Park. Passing by serene vistas, youโ€™ll catch a glimpse of one of Yosemiteโ€™s most recognisable features โ€“ Half Dome. Youโ€™ll spend three nights camping near Yosemite National Park so that there are two full days available to explore at your own pace.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Yosemite National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Yosemite National Park

      Head into the national park this morning, and join your leader for an easy, downhill hike at the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias. The grove is home to, no surprise, a couple dozen mature giant sequoia trees, including one thatโ€™s been carved into a tunnel you can walk right through. From there, continue to Yosemite Valley to check out some of the parkโ€™s iconic spots. You could see the thundering Yosemite Falls, take in both Half Dome and Merced River from Sentinal Bridge and a whole lot more. The rest of the day is then free for you to explore as you please. There are plenty of hikes available, each varying in steepness and difficulty. Maybe hike under the cooling breezes of Nevada Falls (4 to 5 hours) or to the serene Mirror Lake (45 minutes). Keep an eye out for squirrels and bears along the way!

  • Day 4 Day 4: Yosemite National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Yosemite National Park

      Today is free for you to continue discovering the wonders of the park. Instead of hiking, you might like to hire a bike and explore Yosemite Valley on two wheels. You can also visit the parkโ€™s museum, photo gallery, shops and restaurants, and in the heat of summer, a relaxing float down the Merced River is highly recommended. Otherwise, thereโ€™s no shortage of trails for you to explore, from the famous Mist Trail to the more challenging Four Mile Trail. Your leader will be able to provide recommendations if you need help narrowing down the options!

  • Day 5 Day 5: Sierra Nevada
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Sierra Nevada

      Depart Yosemite via the Tioga Pass this morning, stopping at Mono Lake on the way. The Sierra Nevada is sandwiched between Central Valley and Death Valley โ€“ this is a scenic trip that will take you to the town of Bishop, where youโ€™ll camp the night. In town, maybe go to Erick Schatโ€™s European-style bakery for a delicious treat, or perhaps pay a visit to some nearby natural hot springs.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Las Vegas
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Las Vegas

      Drive to the capital of glitz and glam in the heart of the desert this morning โ€“ Las Vegas, Nevada. Vegas may be known for its casinos and late-night antics, but thereโ€™s plenty more to it than meets the eye. After checking into your accommodation, youโ€™re free to explore a bit of it all. Hit the shops, see a world-class stage show, check out the Las Vegas Sphere or simply enjoy the people watching as you stroll along the Strip.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Las Vegas

      With another day in Las Vegas, continue to discover all things over-the-top. Food-focused travellers may want to check out one of the celebrity chef restaurants around town (Roy Choi, Gordon Ramsay and Wolfgang Puck all have places here). See the Eiffel Tower of the USA, check out the Bellagio Fountains or visit one of the cityโ€™s many museums. If you didnโ€™t head out last night, chat to your leader for the lowdown on sin cityโ€™s best shows, clubs and restaurants. You might as well go all out in Las Vegas, right?

  • Day 8 Day 8: Zion National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Zion National Park

      This morning, youโ€™ll drive from Vegas to Zion National Park โ€“ a nature preserve in Utah famous for its steep red cliffs and scenic drive that leads to forest trails along the Virgin River. When you arrive, join your leader for a guided hike in the park to get your bearings, then head to your campsite near the park. After the bright neon lights of Vegas, itโ€™s a good opportunity to unplug, do a spot of star gazing and listen to the sounds of nature.

  • Day 9 Day 9: Bryce Canyon National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Bryce Canyon National Park

      This morning, youโ€™ll head out on a scenic drive from Zion to Bryce Canyon National Park. The park is a favourite among travellers for the crimson-coloured hoodoos (spire-shaped rock formations) that give it the landscape an alien feel. As you drive around the rim of the park, youโ€™ll stop in at some incredible viewpoints and have plenty of time to snap away. Later, settle into your campsite near the park.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Grand Canyon National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Grand Canyon National Park

      This morning youโ€™ll drive to Grand Cayon National Park โ€“ a must-see for any USA adventure! When you arrive, get ready to admire a natural wonder formed by over six million years of erosion by the Colorado River. The canyonโ€™s dimensions โ€“ 450 km long, 630 km wide and 1600 m deep โ€“ it really does warrant the โ€˜grandโ€™ title. Youโ€™ll spend two nights here, which allows for a full day of exploration tomorrow. You could check out the parkโ€™s massive scale on a walk around the rim, watching sunset from one of the many viewpoints.

  • Day 11 Day 11: Grand Canyon National Park
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Grand Canyon National Park

Youโ€™re then free to choose your adventure for the rest of the day! You might like to hire a bike for an easy and efficient way to see as much of the national park as possible.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 12: Grand Canyon To Lake Havasu

      This morning, leave the canyon behind and travel along the famous Route 66, stopping in Seligman along the way โ€“ a quirky small town that features a vibrant slice of retro America. After wandering around the shops and old-school diners, continue your road trip to Lake Havasu on the Colorado River (at the Arizona border) and check in to your hotel for the night. You might like to head out on a scenic hike around the town or learn the backstory of the cityโ€™s unique London Bridge.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
