Alcatraz Island Tour (Optional Extra)

No visit to San Francisco would be complete without a trip across the bay to the former home of some of the most notorious criminals in American history – Alcatraz! Discover the murky history of Alcatraz and explore the prison grounds and cell-houses of former inmates. No inmate ever successfully escaped The Rock, but luckily for you the Alcatraz Ferries are standing by to whisk you back to dry land.

We recommend that you pre-book your Alcatraz tour tickets before you travel. Due to popularity, tickets can often sell out up to 2 weeks in advance. Speak our USA sales specialists about booking your tickets.

A Land of Extremes

To truly experience Death Valley National Park, is to experience something that cannot be match. Despite what the name may suggest, there is much to be discover and explored. Badwater Basin is the single lowest point in North America sitting 282 ft. below sea-level, and the vast salt flats stretch as far as the eye can see. Artist’s Drive is a little adventure definitely worth taking, and can be seen even better later in the day. A scenic drive through volcanic and sedimentary hills provides ample photo opportunities as the changing light reflects an array of beautiful colours.

Distance approx: 394 Mi
Time to travel approx: 6.5 hours

Place of Interest: About 35 miles from Furnace Creek, you’ll find the former bustling town - now ghost town - of Rhyolite. In its gold rush heyday Rhyolite was home to approx. 10,000 people, 50 saloons, shops, a stock exchange, and even an opera. Jump forward over 100 years and there is an eerie sense, and all to different story, of a time that once was. Many old ruins including the town jail, a 3-story bank and even the remains of the old train depot can still be seen.

Note: It's advised to check the ‘National Park Service’ website before setting off, as changing weather conditions can often mean temporary road closures and reroutes around the parks.

Whether you prefer sipping champagne from within the Grand Canyon at sunrise, or would rather witness a beautiful sunset over Lake Mead and this great mystic wonder beyond – there really is something for everyone.

Sunshine, Sand and Surf

San Diego is a city bursting with things to see and places to be. Reminiscent of a classic boardwalk beach town, Mission Beach houses plenty of bars for a lively nightlife and is a great place for the young and young at heart to enjoy alike. Popular with families too, enjoy numerous activities including beach volley ball, surfing and whale watching trips. A short walk to Mission Bay sees calmer waters and is also home to SeaWorld San Diego. San Diego Gaslamp Quarter is the place to cap off the perfect day at one of the many rooftop bars, nightclubs and restaurants.

Distance approx: 126Mi
Time to travel approx: 2.5 hours

Place of Interest: When in San Diego, try and catch a game at Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. If you have never experience the full American baseball experience, this is a great place to do it. Located adjacent the Gaslamp Quarter makes it just as easy to enjoy a meal and drink before, or after the game.
