Pacific Coast Explorer
£1791
Pacific Coast Explorer
Hug coastal roadways as you explore cities, towns and National Parks nestled between mountains, sand dunes, forests and wine lands, on a North to South adventure of the scenic American West Coast.
from £1791
Discover cities meant to walk in – from Vancouver, where Stanley Park brings the majesty of the BC rainforests into the heart of the city, to artistic Portland, and sophisticated Seattle, that all offer glimpses into the laidback Northwest lifestyle. There are lots of epic mountain vistas in the area, including getting up and close with active volcanoes Mt. Rainer and Mt. St. Helen’s. Majestic mountains melt into rolling sand dunes as you travel south, hugging Oregon’s rugged coastline of windswept beaches and crooked pines. Find forests as old as the dinosaurs that will also dwarf you by their sheer size. Gargantuan redwoods greet you alongside the roadways of Redwood National Park and the sheer scale will leave you awestruck. You’ll be charmed along the way by the quiet countryside and the historic communities, including jewels like Mendocino and Eureka that will delight and surprise you with their quaint artistic charms. Once you’ve stretched your legs and strolled through fairy-tale streets of coastal small towns, you’ll be swinging inland on your way to Sonoma where the landscape dissolves into sun-soaked vistas of hill-specked vineyards. Take a moment to savour some of California’s finest wines in a series of Mediterranean microclimates tucked in the golden hills.
- Wander through Vancouver’s Gastown, Yaletown, and Downtown districts, or hop a ferry and spot orcas and dolphins on a scenic ride to Vancouver Island and the charming capital city of Victoria.
- Get up close and personal with two active cloud-shrouded volcanoes, Mount Rainer (the most glaciated peak in the contiguous US) and Mount St. Helen’s, in the Northwest’s “ring of fire” region.
- Travel through Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, home to 40 miles of unique wind-sculpted dunes, with some towering up to an impressive 500 feet above sea level and as old as 100,000 years.
- Stand at the foot of giants in Redwood National Park, gazing towards the heavens and marvelling at ancient specimens that stand 5 stories taller than the Statue of Liberty herself.
- Stop to take in epic coastal vistas of crashing waves, windswept beaches and brave surfers, then climb lighthouses for a birds eye view of the surrounding ocean, full of frothy Northern California swells.
- Meander through the streets of Mendocino, designated as a Preserve America Community, taking in the postcard-perfect shops and fairytale cafes that beg to be explored and photographed.
- Take your time sipping, and savouring various varietals in Northern California’s famous Wine Country, a region that boasts a Mediterranean-like climate and home to some of the world’s best wineries.
- Enjoy some of the finest dining and shopping on the West Coast or ride an iconic streetcar up and down the steep hilly streets of San Francisco before taking in the majesty of the Golden Gate Bridge.

- Victoria and Butchart Gardens by Seaplane
- Fishermans Wharf Dinner and bay Cruise

The city boasts a chic atmosphere, intriguing museums, haute couture boutiques, and a fondness for health-conscious eating. The University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology is the most interesting of its kind in Vancouver and one that uncovers the culture of the aboriginal peoples of Canada. The Capilano Bridge will wow visitors with its amazing views over the canyon below.

Its mini waterfalls, little bridges and pathways set amid hundreds of flowers and plants are certain to delight. The trees that number more than 3,000 offer shade in the summer and an abundance of colour during autumn. It is easy to find a private space for rest and contemplation here. The dome of the Bloedel Floral Conservatory houses a lush tropical forest of flowers and desert plants from all around the world.

Complete with picturesque towns and diverse landscape, Oregon is one of America’s most beautiful states. There’s so much beauty to absorb in Oregon, from its winding rivers and dramatic rugged coastline, to the high desert country and mountainous forestland. From east to west, its towns offer a distinct character and amazing views, be it the oceanic scenery, tree-lined hills or snow-capped mountains. From the charming coastal escapes to historic little villages, Oregon boasts an abundance of diverse and beautiful scenery. There are lush areas brimming with scenic views, historic sites, outdoor adventures and numerous art and cultural experiences. Must-do activities during holidays in Oregon include taking leisurely strolls past splendid buildings full of cafes, visiting art galleries and unique shops awaiting your discovery, and meandering through stunning parks amid acres of serene beauty. And after a day of walking, relaxation includes taking in a theatrical production. Travel to the scenic state of Oregon truly does offer visitors much to see and explore.
Destination: Spring Fiestas
Springtime in Oregon is marked by rising temperatures, although some scattered rain showers can put a damper on sightseeing activities. Pack layers for your holiday to United States as the temperatures tend to fluctuate. While the spring weather isn’t exactly ideal for touring, the summer crowds are yet to flock and fill up the popular destinations. Some of the spring festivals worth attending include the Spring Beer & Wine Fest and the Cinco de Mayo fiesta which is not to be missed.
Destination: Summer Roses
This is the time to enjoy the full “City of Roses experience”: warm temperatures and bright sunny skies mean that the gardens are in full bloom, the outdoor markets are bustling with activity and the entire region sets out to celebrate at many special events. However, summer is also Oregon’s peak tourism season so hotels fill up faster. Travellers on a United States holiday can attend the Portland Rose Festival, the Hawthorne Street Festival and the Bite of Oregon among other fun fests.
Destination: Autumn Festivities
As the vacation season draws to an end, Oregon experiences a drop in temperature. Average highs during the autumn months range from the 13 to 21 degrees. Summer tourists on a tour in United States tend to linger well into September to take part in the end-of-summer festivities; including the Time-Based Art Festival, the Portland Fashion Week, the Portland Marathon and the Northwest Food & Wine Festival. Art lovers will particularly enjoy the Time-Based Art Festival that draws artist for a convergence of performance and visual arts.
Destination: Winter Lights
Winters in Oregon are characterised by one thing – the rain. The average low temperatures at this time prevent the fall of snow, but this does not deter winter sports fans on a United States tour. Mount Hood receives plenty of powder, which makes it a popular daytrip stop for snowboarders and skiers alike. Back in town, the museums are open, but the numerous gardens and parks operate shorter hours. Key events to attend include the Festival of Lights, the Portland Seafood & Wine Festival and the Portland International Film Festival.
