From Los Angeles we head down the coast to San Diego. This city is known for its Gaslamp Quarter, world-renowned zoo, Sea World and great beaches. It’s easy to understand why this is called "America's Finest City".
Heading into the desert we spend a night along the mighty Colorado River. The next day we venture into the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Here we will spend a night at an authentic Wild West Cowboy Camp. Absorb the character of this place filled with hawks, coyotes and starry skies. We spend a night around the campfire amidst a forest of giant saguaro cactus.
Monument Valley is a striking landscape and land of the Native Navajo Indians. It’s also our next stop where we will enjoy a jeep tour with our own personal Navajo guide. Take the chance to get a deeper understanding of the importance of this land.
Our journey just gets better as we continue to the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Stroll along the canyon rim, opt for a scenic flight or take a hike down a canyon trail. Whatever you choose - truly enjoy the natural beauty all around you.
From one of the world natural wonders we head into the city of glitz and glamour, Las Vegas! No matter your age or interests this city has it all. Check out a variety show, discount shopping, the Strip, the nightlife or try your luck with one of the many “one armed bandits”.
Leaving Las Vegas we head into the beautiful San Joaquin Valley on our way to "Everybody's Favourite City", San Francisco. The “city by the bay” has endless options for entertainment. Hike or bike across the famous Golden Gate Bridge, ride the cable cars, take a trip to Alcatraz, check out the shopping at Fisherman’s Wharf, check out the biggest Chinatown in North America or take in the nightlife in Haight-Ashbury or North Beach. The options are limitless!
We leave our hearts in San Francisco and head south along the Pacific coast. Heading south through Santa Barbara we make our way back to Los Angeles to enjoy a tour of Hollywood before saying our goodbyes.
