Experience the fast paced East, the slow moving South and the laidback West with exciting activities such as white water rafting, horseback riding and hiking on offer - don't forget about the nightlife of New Orleans and Las Vegas!
Depart New York, 'the City that never sleeps' for America's Capital and an included Illumination Tour of the White House, the Capitol and the Washington Monuments. Head for the Smoky Mountains and an exhilarating white water rafting trip (optional).
Next, travel into the 'Deep South' to Alabama and Mississippi for a taste of true southern hospitality. Then to New Orleans with all it's charm and character. Sample Cajun food, relax to the sounds of a Jazz or Dixieland band in the French Quarter and join the ongoing party on Bourbon Street.
Head west into Texas for historic San Antonio and home of the Alamo, a symbol of Texan pride. The Mexican border, the Rio Grande, can be crossed for shopping or dining out in Mexico before continuing to Carlsbad Caverns NP in New Mexico; a geological spectacle and one of the largest cave systems in the world.
Venturing into the desert southwest we explore Monument Valley, home of the Navajo Indians where massive buttes, mesas and breathtaking sunrises can be viewed. Learn about their fascinating past while exploring the area on a hiking and jeep tour and mix with the Native Americans while purchasing their handcrafted goods.
Off to the Grand Canyon NP, where unfortunately (or fortunately) no photograph or description can prepare you for the inconceivable expanse of space, colour and bewildering shapes you will witness. No matter if you hike, take a scenic flight or simply gaze into it's vastness at sunset, you will be amazed at one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
North to the shores of Lake Powell, a desert oasis with a multitude of water sports on offer and a chance to sunbathe and refresh yourself in it's cool waters. Journey further west to Zion NP. This spectacular gorge was carved from the sandstone cliffs and towers high into the sky and can be ascended by a moderate day-walk appropriately called 'Angel's Landing'.
Onto the lost nights and loose-living of Las Vegas. Get lucky in the casinos, dance the night away in the clubs or enjoy the free entertainment on 'the Strip'. We finish our adventure with an included visit to the magic kingdom of Disneyland in Los Angeles.
