Important notes

1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please note that due to the small properties we use in Europe there is only a limited amount of single supplements available per trip departure. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
2. DAY 1: A complimentary group arrival transfer from Toulouse airport is available on this trip for all flights landing before 11:30am. A transfer guide will meet you in Hall D international arrivals with the clipboard sign so be sure to look out for it. The group transfer departs the airport at the latest by 12:30pm.
DAY 8: A complimentary group departure transfer is also included back to the Toulouse Airport. The transfer arrives at the airport around 9am.
Both transfers must be booked in advance! Please provide your flight details to Intrepid or your travel agent at the time of booking so they can be added to your booking. If you simply turn up at the airport for the transfer without notifying Intrepid, we cannot guarantee that space will be available. In such case, you may need to take an taxi at your own expense, a 3 hour drive from Toulouse.
3. The trip is graded as active and requires no previous experience although an ability to cycle is essential for the mountain biking. Days of mountain biking, walking and rafting can be a rigorous test of stamina, but with full vehicle support we believe anyone in good health should be capable of participating. The difficulty of the walks and rides will depend on the ability of the group and will be adjusted accordingly. PLEASE NOTE, all the activities will take place in mountainous terrain where weather is rather temperamental. Some adjustments to the walks or cycling routes may be done on the day, depending on the weather forecast, and will depend on our experienced leader’s good judgement.
4. Most people buy packed lunches; you might find a sealable plastic box useful for storing it in your daypack. Although not essential, gloves for cycling make it more comfortable - especially if you grip hard. Wetsuits provided for rafting come with booties. Shoes are not provided for biking, so please bring comfortable shoes suitable for cycling.

Great week of activities in Andorra! We had a great group of 11 and a list of outstanding hosts starting from our airport transfer (Pat), leader (Antoine) and accommodation hosts (Nick & Nuria). The week was very active with 2 hikes, 2 biking sessions, zip-lining and white water rafting and the itinerary was well planned so we were never bored or doing too much of the same activities two days in a row. The free day was a good opportunity to recover and take in other local sites eg local Spa, Via Ferreta, Tibetan Bridge. The food in the area was delicious and the scenery was beautiful. We were also very lucky to have perfect weather for the entire week. Highly recommend this trip if you are up for a challenge and want to see a beautiful part of the world that not many people know about.

Really nice little trip in a stunning country. The bike rides are very manageable and the hikes include some amazing scenery. Nick and family run a really welcoming hotel with great food and Antoine was amazing as activity leader.

I did an active intrepid tour to Andorra and absolutely loved it! I highly recommend going on an Intrepid tour if you are travelling solo or as a pair and want to explore different places and meet new people while having most of the trip organised for you.

I have done other tours but this was my first time with Intrepid and I would definitely recommend it. I stumbled on the Andorra trip and couldn’t be more happy. Everything from the activities, hosts and tour leader were great. Only downside is I wished it was a few days longer.
