North America Tours & Trips

Nature really shows off in the American Southwest, and Utah's Mighty 5 National Parks are the region's crown jewels. Our travelers can't stop talking about Bryce Canyon's towering hoodoo formations, which look particularly magical during those early morning rim walks. Getting out with Navajo guides in Monument Valley has become one of our most popular experiences - you'll wind through massive sandstone buttes while learning what this landscape means to the local people. The helicopter rides over the Grand Canyon give you a whole new perspective on just how enormous this natural wonder really is. For folks short on time, the 3-day Southwest Parks circuit works brilliantly - you'll see Zion's red cliffs, Bryce's rock amphitheaters and the Grand Canyon's vast depths in one efficient loop. Spring and fall hit the sweet spot with nice temperatures and fewer visitors. Our customers swear by early starts, not just to beat the heat but to catch that special morning light on the red rocks. If you're visiting in summer, plan your hiking for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

The Canadian Rockies offer some of North America's most impressive mountain settings, where our travelers often tell us they're at a loss for words when they first see the turquoise waters of Lake Louise and also Moraine Lake. Exploring Jasper National Park puts you right in the middle of untouched wilderness, with real chances to spot local wildlife going about their day. The drive along the Icefields Parkway really makes these tours special - you can actually walk on ancient glacier ice at the Columbia Icefield and also the Athabasca Glacier. Banff and Jasper serve as excellent home bases, with local guides like Ben Hutchinson sharing fascinating details about the area's geology and history. Summer visitors get to make the most of long daylight hours for hiking and photography, while winter brings the Northern Lights dancing across the sky and snow-covered peaks that transform the mountains into something quite magical.

North America's best hiking routes come alive through a mix of challenging and gentle trails. The Canadian Rockies tours get fantastic feedback from our travelers who love combining the Plain of Six Glaciers path around Lake Louise with easier walks through Jasper's Valley of Five Lakes. Yosemite offers that classic Mist Trail experience where you'll feel the spray from powerful waterfalls, plus the rewarding climb up Four Mile Trail to take in those valley views from Sentinel Dome. The Southwest draws hikers throughout the year - our guests really connect with Zion's massive red walls and the hidden spots within Bryce Canyon's natural red rock amphitheater. What makes these routes work so well is having clear trails plus guides who know their stuff, sharing cool details about the rocks, wildlife and local stories as you walk.

North American active trips range from desert walks to mountain exploration and everything in between. The Southwest tours are customer favorites, mixing Joshua Tree's distinctive desert trails with the sheer scale of the Grand Canyon. Our Golden West trips offer variety - you'll walk Hollywood's well-known streets, climb Yosemite's granite formations and take in the Pacific Coast Highway's ocean views. What makes these trips special is how they combine outdoor activities with real cultural moments, from visits to authentic Western towns and Native American demonstrations to the contrast between natural wonders and lively cities like San Francisco and Las Vegas.

The coach tours through America's Southwest and West Coast offer a complete package. Starting in Los Angeles, you'll travel through Palm Springs into Scottsdale's Old West atmosphere, then head to the Grand Canyon where helicopter flights show you a whole new angle. Our travelers love how the trip mixes natural wonders with city experiences - one day you're walking among giant sequoias in Yosemite, the next you're exploring San Francisco's bustling Fisherman's Wharf. The coastal stretch along Big Sur gives you plenty of great photo spots, and stops in Santa Barbara, Carmel and also Monterey add that perfect blend of small-town charm and coastal character. The professional drivers and guides make these journeys special, sharing local stories and cultural insights that bring each location to life.
