Pacific Coast Explorer

Upon arrival at Vancouver International Airport, transfer independently to your hotel where you will meet with our representative. 

Spend the day exploring Vancouver’s most popular sights and attractions. You can also opt for a tour of the Victoria Island, known for its old-world charm. Also, popular as the ‘Garden City’, Victoria Island is a great place to admire British colonial architecture as well as for enjoying the scenic views of the Pacific Ocean and rainforests set against the backdrop of the Olympic Mountains. 

Leave Vancouver to embark upon a journey to the jewel of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle. Famed for its iconic views including breathtaking vistas of its waterfront and snow-capped mountains, visiting Seattle is a visual delight. It’s here that one can see the life as it is lived in the northwest. Don’t miss attractions such the Downtown Seattle Waterfront, offering views of the Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains as well as grounds at the Seattle Centre and checking out the spectacular view from the Space Needle's 520-foot high observation deck. 

Leave for Portland, the largest city in Oregon this morning. Portland is known for its parks, bridges and bicycle paths and considered one of the best pedestrian-friendly cities in the world. On your way, visit Mount Rainier volcano, considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world as well as Mount St. Helens, known for its ash explosions and pyroclastic flows. Both these volcanoes form a part of the northwest's "ring of fire." 

Explore Oregon’s scenic coastline on a drive and enjoy mesmerising vistas of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding forests. Cross Newport and the heart of central coast of Oregon to reach Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, located on the coast of Oregon and featuring wind-sculpted sand dunes that rise up to 55-feet above the sea level. 

Continue your journey southwards and admire the breathtaking views of the Oregon coastline, highlighted by pristine beaches, crashing waves and quaint lighthouses. Also, admire the stunning beauty of California’s Redwood Coast, known for sparkling beaches, cascading rivers, quiet countryside, historic communities and a forest believed to be as old as dinosaurs! Visit the Redwood National Park, a park protecting vast prairies, oak woodlands, wild riverways, and nearly 40 miles of rugged coastline. It also remains popular for being the site of five of the tallest trees on earth, believed to be five stories taller than the Statue of Liberty. 

Cross the scenic and historic Village of Mendocino, boasting cliff-side trails and pristine beaches, en route to the northern California’s wine country – Sonoma. The perfect wine-growing conditions coupled with a Mediterranean climate are the reason why Sonoma is home to over 425 wineries. Crashing waves, glorious sunsets and sightings of sea lions and otters sunning on the beaches are some other delights of visiting the Sonoma Wine County. 

The highlight of this day would be the crossing of the engineering marvel, the Golden Gate Bridge to arrive in San Francisco. The tallest bridge in the United States, Golden Gate Bridge has become one of the best recognized symbols from San Francisco around the world. 

Explore San Francisco in your free time before the departure. Later, transfer independently to the airport for your onward flight.
