Adelaide tours and vacations

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. It's important to understand that each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements, and some destinations mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travelers, regardless of their nationality.

We require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation, but minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number, and these details will be recorded on the first day of your trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is an essential part of every journey.

For travelers who reside within the European Union, Switzerland or the USA, the requirement to purchase travel insurance cannot be compulsory. However, the purchase of travel insurance is still highly recommended, and travelers from these regions who decline travel insurance when travelling outside their home region must sign a Travel Insurance Waiver Form, recognizing personal responsibility for emergency medical and repatriation costs should they arise.

The best time to visit Adelaide can be at any time of year, however, summers can get very hot, which is not always the most comfortable for some visitors.

This makes the best seasons to visit, typically the shoulder months in autumn and spring, around March to May and October to November.

Winters can get cold and rainy; however, they do not get as cold as the more southern regions of Australia.

During the warmer months, bring shorts/leggings, t-shirts and a loose shirt to cover your shoulders in direct sunlight. You'll also need a hat and sunglasses.

During the winter months, make sure you bring warmer layers, including a down jacket and a beanie for those chilly winter mornings.

If you plan on hiking, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes, a day bag and a reusable water bottle.
