Nevada Tours & Vacations

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Getting to Nevada is relatively easy with a number of different transportation options available.

These include flying into Reno or Las Vegas, embarking on a road trip from one of the neighbouring states, or catching public transport in the form of a bus or a train with several routes taking you to various destinations within the state. 

Getting around Nevada is relatively easy due to the many transportation options available.

If you're arriving by car, it is easy to drive around the state with major highways that are easy to navigate and well-maintained.

You can also fly between popular destinations within the state. It is possible to travel by bus between most towns in Nevada, but the train network is limited.

Nevada's climate is very similar to that of neighbouring states such as Utah in that it has a very dry, semi-arid, and desert climate.

This means that summers can get very hot although there is little chance of humidity as Nevada is considered one of the driest states in America.

Despite the dry, desert-like climate, Nevada still experiences four very distinct seasons with temperatures in winter averaging between 0°C and 15°C. 

What to pack for Nevada depends on what time of the year you're travelling in but regardless of the season, there are some items you should always pack.

Some of these items include sensible and comfortable walking shoes (most likely you'll be doing a lot of hiking during your time in Nevada), a sun hat or cap, and some sunscreen (especially in summer).

If you're travelling in winter, be sure to pack trousers, sweaters, waterproof jackets, and thick coats to keep yourself warm. 

The best time to visit Nevada depends on what you want to get out of your vacation and what activities you want to do while there.

Regarding the weather, the best time to visit Nevada is between April and mid-June (before temperatures get too high.) Or from August to mid-October, as the state is filled with the beautiful fall colours of orange, red, and brown.

If you're planning on trekking through some of the state's national parks, then travelling during summer is advised against (unless you undertake extra planning) as temperatures can exceed 38°C.

Your mobile coverage should be fine if you stick to the popular cities in Nevada, such as Las Vegas.

If you plan on spending time in one of the state's many national parks, you could experience some disruptions.

Most national parks have reception areas or tourist hubs with mobile phone access. If you're hiking through the park or you've stopped at a high-altitude viewpoint, then your service is likely to be weak and unreliable.

If you stick to the popular cities in Nevada such as Las Vegas, then your internet coverage shouldn't be affected.
