It’s hard not to think about surfing when you think of California! San Diego is a relaxed city where we recommend spending some time recharging your batteries on your road trip. Nicknamed the Golden state San Diego is a perfect place to try your hand at surfing! You’ll spend three nights here and we’ve included a 1-hour beginner’s surf lesson with a guide who will show you the ropes- it’s harder than it looks! After mastering surfing it’s time to visit the bright lights of LA or sadly head back home.

Los Angeles, an iconic city with lots on offer. You’ll stay in picture perfect Marina del Rey, a port with a bohemian vibe, that’s only a stone’s thrown from Venice beach. A highlight here is cycling along Venice Beach to Santa Monica. Afterwards, you’ll have plenty of time to explore so strap on your hiking boots to navigate the trails dotted along the coast or get a taste of Tinseltown on Hollywood Boulevard.

First up you’ll visit the quaint coastal town of Pismo Beach, known for its many seafood spots and stunning sea views! From here, you’ll wind along the famous Pacific coast road, Highway 1, ending in Monterey for an unforgettable whale watching adventure. Your eyes will light up as you spot these gentle giants from your boat, at one of the best locations in the whole of North America.

San Francisco is definitely one to tick off your USA adventure! The city is home to endless highlights such as the iconic Golden Gate Bridge! Here you will stay in a central hotel where you can easily head out on foot to explore! The highlight of your trip here is sure to be a trip to the infamous Alcatraz prison where we have included tickets for you to visit. Take an audio tour where an old inmate will detail their time spent here. It’s not to be missed!

Yosemite is one of America’s most famous national parks. If the great outdoors is a passion of yours then this is not to be missed!  Rugged landscape, roaring waterfalls, soaring trees and panoramic vistas will welcome you and you won’t want to leave. Your home for two nights is a simple lodge on the outskirts of the National Park, where you have 3 days to explore this wonderful National Park.
