Flexible Itinerary

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local conditions and passenger requests vary, no two trips will ever be the same. With the guidance of your Trek Leader you may modify certain night stops and highlights to give a truly unique experience!

As this tour departs at 0730 in the morning we recommend that you book pre-tour accommodation at our gateway hotel. Please request at the time of booking.

Local Payments - Food Kitty: US$10 per day. En-route Hotels: Approx US$30 x 2 nights

• Day: 1-2 Los Angeles & San Diego

  Our West Coast Highlights tour begins with a two day visit to San Diego. Jump on a surfboard where the climate takes no notice of the calendar. Browse the time warp that is the Spanish Old Town. Wander the world-famous zoo, clap the acrobatic orcas of SeaWorld or go one better. Between December and March you might, just might, spy migrating grey whales offshore. Nothing beats that.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 3-4 Las Vegas

  A practice hand or two across the Mojave Desert is a top-notch idea because Vegas is coming right up. With its neon cowboy signs, giant sphinxes and the armies of folks who come to play the tables, Sin City is a far-out experience. Oh, and here's one quick betting tip: American roulette wheels have two zeros.
  Accommodation: 2 en-route hotel nights paid locally

• Day: 5 Death Valley National Park

  In summer it is a fearsome prospect, with various claims as the hottest, driest and lowest. The cooler months throw open a mind-blowing panorama of mineral-painted rock, paths that criss-cross toothy ridges and spots like Dante's View and Zabriskie Point, where the whole darn lot spills out in front of you. Tell everyone: you conquered Death Valley.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 6 California

  From Las Vegas to Death Valley and central California, this trip just gets better and better. With one final night of festivities, get ready for a great day of sightseeing in San Francisco!
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 7 San Francisco

  Chances are the famous Frisco fog will come billowing into town at some point. It adds a whole heap of character, as if this place needed more. Check out those blue, yellow and pink 'painted ladies', Victorian homes, clunk up crazy slopes in the groaning streetcars and just wish it could all last a little longer.
  
  This tour ends at approximately 17:00 hrs. We can book you post-tour accommodation at our gateway hotel if required. If you are planning to fly tonight, please do not book a flight that departs before 21:00 hrs.
