  • B

    Belinda

    Asked on March 20th, 2025

    when would I need to be in cancun for and when are the included shuttles in operation?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      This trip does not come with any included airport transfers so you would need to make your own way over to the starting hotel. However, if you would like to add on an arrival/departure airport transfer we can do that for you at an additional cost.

    • B

      Belinda

      TravelerWritten March 2025

    Connie

    Asked on July 24th, 2024

    If we are travelling as a pair for this tour, can we stay in the same rooms for the multishare accommodations? Is there also private options or an option for just us two in these places?

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2024

      Except for multi-share accommodations, we can arrange for you both to share a room together. Please note, in multi-share rooms (triple and quad), travelers on the same booking may be assigned separate rooms to adhere to single gender allocation policies.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      Unfortunately we cannot confirm you on these tours. Trips for 18-29s will be running only for the clients in the mentioned age limits. However, we do have similar trips which we do not have age restrictions. You could check on the same and let us know so we can check the availability for you.

    Janine

    Asked on September 6th, 2022

    I am an American and I would like to know if I will need a VISA for the places I will visit. I am not vaccinated, but I have a doctor's certificate that I can't have any vaccines.

    Travel Support
    Visa
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2022

      Americans do not need a visa to enter Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, or Nicaragua. However, Nicaragua has mandatory proof of vaccination in place. While Intrepid requires all travelers to be fully vaccinated, we do make some exceptions for medical reasons. Please provide us with the doctor's certificate, so that we can pass this along to a manager and the local teams to determine if the exemption can be approved.
