This itinerary is just a suggestion and can be customised to suit your unique travel plans. Make it longer, make it shorter. Add in the things you want to do. Get in touch with our travel experts to turn this itinerary into your dream American west trip.

Las Vegas Exploring Sin City

First stop on the itinerary is Las Vegas! Because it's a long flight, and because Vegas is cool city to explore, we recommend that you stay for a few days. Let us know and we can arrange pre-tour accommodation as part of your itinerary.

Known for its flashy lights, world-class shows, and vibrant nightlife, there's never a dull moment in this city. But Vegas isn't just about casinos and clubs; you can explore incredible dining options, from gourmet restaurants to budget-friendly food trucks.

Take a stroll down the iconic Strip, catch a Cirque du Soleil performance, or enjoy a day trip to nearby natural wonders like Red Rock Canyon.

Las Vegas to Los Angeles Road trip style tour

After you've explored Vegas, it's time for some jaw-dropping nature experiences. Join this 8-day group adventure that takes you all the way from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in a road trip kind-of-style adventure. On the way you'll experience some of the most iconic national parks in Western USA. First up is Bryce Canyon National Park, with its red hues and dramatic rock formations. From there you'll move on to Zion National Park, full of sandstone cliffs and natural arches and Page (well-known for Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon) before entering the legendary Grand Canyon National Park. As if that's not enough, you'll ride on part of the famous Route 66 and visit Joshua Tree National Park before touching down in Los Angeles, where you...

Dana Point Surf's up

After you say goodbye to your road trip friends, it's already time for the next adventure - surf camp!

It's only a short 1hr drive from Los Angeles to Dana Point, so you'll arrive at the surf camp in no time. Throw your bag in your room and get ready to conquer the waves. You'll have surf instructions during the day from some of the best in this area, and by the end of the week, you'll be jumping up on that board like a pro.

When the sun is setting and it's time to chill, enjoy the laidback vibe of the surf camp. Hang out with the rest of the surfers and enjoy a well-deserved cold beer after a long and exhausting day riding the waves.

Los Angeles Time on your own

The final stop on the itinerary is Los Angeles.

Because L.A. is such a cool city to explore, we recommend that you stay for a few days. We can hook you up with a really cool hostel right by Venice Beach, one of the best places to stay when you're in L.A.

Check out the beach promenade, explore nearby Abbot Kinney Boulevard filled with hip cafés and quirky designer shops and check out the view from Griffith Park Observatory. Or relax a bit on one of the great beaches before the long journey home.

Book this itinerary
If you're dreaming about exploring a ton of cool spots in the Western part of USA. Los Angeles, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Sin City, Las Vegas - just to name a few, this is the perfect itinerary.

 

Board the plane that takes you all the way to Sin City, Las Vegas. We recommend that you stay a few days here before your group adventure starts. Enjoy the neon lights and the bustling nightlife before heading West with your new travel mates. 

From Las Vegas the trip goes through Bryce Canyon and to Zion National Park. Continue through Page and to the mighty Grand Canyon where a magnificent sight awaits you. From Grand Canyon you continue to Joshua Tree National Park before you end your group trip in Santa Monica in Los Angeles.

After you have said your goodbyes to your new travel buddies, you can choose to stay for a few days and explore Los Angeles before you head on to Dana Point where we've arranged an 7 day stay in a surf camp, where you will learn to surf like a pro. Get exhausted during the day when trying to master the board, and chill in the camp in the evenings - preferably with a cold drink in your hand.

This itinerary ends here with a flight home from Los Angeles, but if you feel that you're not done and want to continue, simply let us know. 

Remember that this is just an example and that you can tailor this route suggestion to fit your needs and desires! Maybe you want to shorten the number of days? Maybe you want to travel more? We have plenty of options for you, just reach out to us!
