This trip was the perfect balance between hitting key destinations, time spent travelling and the experiences on offer. The west coast of the United States is incredible and a must-see for anyone seekinG Adventures. Our guide Charlie was an absolute superstar and made the trip exciting. He was always energised and ready to go, generous with sharing his insider tips for the best places to eat and see and ensured that everyone on the trip was having the best possible time.

In a short amount of time you can go on a planned out trip. In the trip are a lot of highlights, sometime things to see you don't even know of. it's a cool experience to meet new people and expolore together new places. It makes travel over a long distances easier with the bus, so you don't have to drive everything by yourself.
