Western United States

Welcome to the region of evergreen giants, painted deserts, and pink-hued stone citadels. Our Western USA tours immerse you in lands woven with legend and lore, cowboy culture, and steaming National Parks.

• ITINERARIES
• FEATURED TOURS

Welcome to the West

Here legends larger-than-life loom over landscapes sculpted in sand. Rivers tunnel through time leaving cavernous canyons in their wake. Geysers steam like clockwork precision and rocks balance, arch and bridge in whimsical formations. Go west with Tauck and you'll find evergreen giants, painted deserts, pink-hued stone citadels as you ride with cowboys, hike with naturalists and raft with guides passionate about the places they roam. 

Yellowstone national park, seriously... there's no other place on earth like it – yellowstone national park.

There's everything else, and then there's Yellowstone; it's truly like no other place on Earth. Why? Because it sits atop the largest "supervolcano" on the North American continent – one of the hottest spots on the planet. It's called the Yellowstone Caldera, and it lurks beneath the surface, giving rise to Yellowstone National Park's host of gushing geysers, steaming fumaroles, hot springs, mud pot and more – nothing less than the largest concentration of geothermal features on Earth, spectacular in winter or summer. In an amazing setting such as this, pretty much anything you do – from a wildlife safari in the summer, to a snowcoach ride in the winter… or hike, climb, horseback ride, ski, snowshoe, watch a sunrise or a sunset – is something you'll never forget.

Yosemite National Park

Through a lens, brightly and darkly – yosemite national park.

What a young Ansel Adams saw through his lens as he trekked into the California wilderness more than 100 years ago – as John Muir did a half-century before him – has inspired countless visitors to explore its chiseled landscapes. Celestial bodies trump electricity. Running water falls from rocks. Residents are furred, finned or feathered. And skyscrapers with names like Half Dome and El Capitan are nature-made. Adams iconic photographs need no words or explanation. Even in black and white, they capture what he felt about places now immortalized for future generations.

Grand Teton National Park

Big sky, big mountains, big picture... grand teton national park.

Out here in the Great American West, everything is "big." For starters, Wyoming comprises part of "Big Sky Country"... where the heavens ranging above the region's vast grasslands, winding rivers and jagged mountain peaks do indeed appear to stretch on forever and ever. Then there are the mountains themselves – in this case the Tetons, crowned by Grand Teton (that's the "big" one that gives the national park its name; other peaks in the range include Middle Teton, South Teton, Mount Owen and Teewinot) – seemingly bursting right up out of the floor of the glacial valley we call Jackson Hole, to loom majestically over everything below.

Grand Canyon National Park

Coming to grips with the impossible... at grand canyon national park.

Surely you have stumbled upon some other planet... or at least it feels that way at Grand Canyon National Park. Your first glimpse of the enormous Grand Canyon strains credulity. What giants have been playing with the rock here? Or what cataclysmic force of the universe? Then the drama starts. Clouds, shadows, and the shifting sun keep transforming the landscape. As the sun flames in the west, canyon walls turn red while the giants paint the sky, creating masterpieces so beautiful they freeze you in your tracks. The Grand Canyon sprawls wide open, carved out by the Colorado River, revealing two billion years of Earth's history; here is where air meets land, where you meet what feels like destiny, with just the white-tailed Kaibab squirrel, only found here, as witness.

Day 5: Williams & Las Vegas  

We’re off this morning to head back to Vegas – via Williams! Before we get too comfy on the van, you’ll get the chance to try an unmissable activity… axe throwing! If you’d rather now, you can opt to learn more about America’s complex history with firearms when you pay a visit to a local shooting range.  

After that, you’ve got time for a spot of shopping, lunch, and wandering the cowboy-esque of Williams before we jump back in the van.

• If you decide to remain in Santa Monica, you could chill at Venice Beach, try inline skating on the boardwalk, or take a tour of the Paramount Studios.  
• If you want to give back to the local community, you could spend your day volunteering with Heal the Bay, helping to clean up California’s coastline.  

Day 9: Santa Monica  

This morning, we’re up and at ‘em with another unmissable activity: volleyball on Santa Monica beach! Your group will get your very own coach and learn how to bump, set, and spike.  

Afterwards, you’ve got a couple of options. You might want to soak up the SoCal sun, take a dip in the Pacific, or try your hand at surfing! There’s also the free Getty Villa, a beautiful Roman-style palace museum around half an hour from the accommodation that overlooks Malibu beach.  

Spend your last night in LA in style, with an evening out on the town where you can explore the street art and culture – and grab some great food while you’re at it.

You’ll take an amazing journey from LA to Fresno today, with a bus and train journey that transports you from the glamorous Santa Monica to the stunning countryside of Midpines.

In the evening, you can opt to join your group for a final night on the town. If you’d like, you can head to a Giants’ baseball game, or hit Pier 39 for dining, shopping – and sea lions!  

Day 14: Farewell

California and West Coast

Book our West Coast tours in the USA - your personal experiences will become unforgettable memories. There is a little slice of heaven for everyone in the Pacific Region (West Coast) of the United States of America. The Pacific Region is really vast; it begins in snowy Alaska, runs down the Pacific Coast along Washington, Oregon and California, then sails towards Hawaii. Here you will find the U.S. tallest mountains and deepest gorges, spectacular tropical rainforests, impressive ice fields, amazing islands and fabulous cities. California 's endless wonders, from Yosemite National Park to Disneyland, are both natural and man-made. Soul-satisfying wilderness often lies close to urbane civilization. With the iconic Big Sur coast, the dramatic Mojave Desert , and majestic Sierra Nevada mountains, sunny California indulges those in search of great surfing, hiking, and golfing. Sequoia National Park testifies to nature's size, beauty, and diversity - huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world's largest trees. Redwood National Park is home to the tallest trees on Earth. But the parks also protect vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild riverways and coastline, all supporting a rich mosaic of wildlife diversity and cultural traditions. Other pleasures await too: superb food in San Francisco , studio tours in Los Angeles , San Diego, winery visits and spas in Napa and Sonoma. Oregon mixes rugged coastline and thick evergreen forests with barren, fossil-strewn deserts, volcanoes, crystal-clear lakes and glaciers. While European settlement in Oregon is less than two centuries old, American Indians have inhabited the region for thousands of years. The largest city in Oregon is Portland : an effervescent arts community, dozens of parks, a lively downtown complete with an open-air plaza that serves as the community’s living room, and a world-class public transportation system are just a few of the reasons why it's one of the country’s most desirable cities to live in. If you’re looking for world-class pinots, some of the best food and craft beer in the country, epic cycling, kayaking, windsurfing or just about anything else-ing, look no further. You’ll know you’re in Washington  when the wild and rugged scenery of the Pacific Northwest unfolds in front of you - and you only just left the big city of Seattle moments ago. Washington is the only state in the USA where you can explore a national park in a temperate rainforest in the morning, hike the trails at a National Volcanic Monument in the afternoon and smell the desert sage as the sunsets. There’s no place on earth like Hawaii . The fresh, floral air energizes you. The warm, tranquil waters refresh you. The breathtaking, natural beauty renews you. Whether you're a new visitor or returning, these six unique islands offer distinct experiences that will entice any traveler. Hawaii is also home to eight national parks that celebrate and preserve Hawaii’s unique beauty and native culture. Explore Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii, the Big Island and discover your ideal travel experience. Choose among our best selection of West Coast USA tours and enjoy our amazing country.
