      Jeffrey

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      how does the process of obtaining visas to travel from the US work? We want to travel this year in June.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      The accommodations included in this trip are as follows: Hotel (1 night), Cabin (4 nights), Underground Hotel (2 nights), and Resort (2 nights). No tented accommodations are included.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      Regarding visas for travel from the US, these are arranged by the travellers themselves, and we do not handle any visa-related inquiries. We recommend checking the relevant embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date requirements.

      Jeffrey

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      I noticed it says somewhat moderate activities. It seems like mostly walking to me. I ask because I will be traveling with 3 teens (14,17&19) and my parents (71&87). Thoughts?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      This trip requires a 3/5 physical rating. A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers is listed in the day-to-day itinerary. These are meant as a guide only and may not all be possible within the time available at each destination. Prices listed are approximate, cover entrance fees only, and generally do not include transport or local guides unless specified. Many activities can be organised independently on the day, or with the help of your group leader or local representative at the Welcome Meeting. For medium or high-risk activities, we work with operators whose safety and credentials have been assessed. Activities not listed have not been assessed, and your group leader or local representative cannot assist with them. Participation in any unlisted activity is at your own discretion and risk. Considering your group includes teens and older adults, we recommend reviewing the day-to-day itinerary carefully and planning which activities are most suitable for everyone's ability and comfort level. Your group leader can also advise on any adjustments on the ground.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      would it be possible to add a couple days prior to the start of this tour to visit Melbourne? How would that work?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      Yes, it is possible to add pre-tour accommodation in Melbourne. We can request to book additional nights at the trip starting point hotel, subject to availability. Pre-tour accommodation can be requested once you have booked the trip and the booking is confirmed. At that stage, we can check availability and provide you with the pricing details.

    • J

      Jeffrey

      Traveler•Written February 2026

      How complicated (or not) is the process to get from Melbourne to Adelaide the morning of our trip? Or should be head over (car/flying/etc.) the night before? What are your recommendations?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

      If you are looking to get from Melbourne to Adelaide the fastest option would be to fly, I believe its around a 3 hours flight. We suggest checking out the Rome2Rio website its a great tool that can assist you in mapping out the best routes to get from one area to another.

    Eric

    Asked on October 3rd, 2024

    The map on your website shows heading north after leaving William Creek before going south to Wabma Kadarbu then Marree. When I plot it on Google maps it just heads generally south. What does this indicate? Also, have you ever had a return delayed? I wish to book a cruise that begins the day after this tour returns and couldn't afford to miss it.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2024

      Regarding the route discrepancy you noticed between the map on our website and Google Maps, we are currently checking with our local team for clarification. We will provide you with an update as soon as we receive a response. As for your concern about potential return delays, we are confirming this as well with them to ensure there is no impact on your plans for the cruise following your tour.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2024

      The map might show a slightly upward route between Coober Pedy and William Creek, the actual path is more straightforward across the map. After reaching William Creek, the direction turns south. We have never encountered delays on the return trip to Adelaide, so it is very likely that the tour will finish on schedule.
