Western Frontiers

Upon arrival in Las Vegas, check in to your local hotel. 

Stop at the iconic ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign and capture a photo for your album. Spend some time exploring before you make your way towards the Death Valley, a desert valley located in the Eastern California, popular as the hottest, driest and lowest national park in the US. Stop by the Zabriskie Point and Furnace Creek Ranch and then make your way forward through the Sierra Nevada Mountains to reach the alpine resort town of Mammoth Lakes, a small mountain-resort town blessed with beautiful landscapes. 

Wake up early in the morning and take an optional scenic gondola ride to the summit of Mammoth. Savour your breakfast as your eyes feast on the breathtaking views of California deserts and its majestic mountains. Later, cross the Tioga Pass to reach the stunning Yosemite National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, popular for its gushing waterfalls and massive granite faces. Overnight stay at the Yosemite Gateway. 

Leave early in the morning and arrive in San Francisco for a sightseeing tour of the city, covering all its major attractions. Check in to your hotel and relax. In the evening, you can take the optional 2-hour City by Night Tour that gives you the night-view of the popular tourist sites such as Union Square, the Marina and Chinatown. 

You have this day at leisure and can make plans to explore the city. A cable car ride to the Fisherman's Wharf might sound like a good idea for those who would like to taste the local seafood, famous sourdough breads or decadent Ghiradelli's Chocolate. You can’t be in San Francisco and miss a stroll by the Sea Lions' Marina and watch the happy creatures frolicking in the water. Shopaholics can use the time to visit the Union Square and explore the many leading stores there, including the Macy’s. If you are in mood for all-out exploration, however, consider the wine tasting tour of the Napa Valley, popular for its fine wineries and stunning landscapes. 

Leave San Francisco and drive to the Monterey Peninsula, popular for its wind-tossed beaches and quiet coves, fine dining and casual eateries. In Monterey, visit Fisherman's Wharf and the famous Cannery Row. Next, you take the tour of charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, popular for its quaint houses, upscale art galleries and unique stores. In the afternoon, visit Paso Robles, popular for its fine wineries. Overnight stay will be in a quaint Central California coast town. 

Cross Santa Ynez Valley to reach Santa Barbara, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains and boasting a Spanish colonial heritage. Arrive in Los Angeles later, and stop at Santa Monica, popular or its stunning, wide beaches. Enjoy an optional lunch on the pier or bike ride by the beach. Culminate your afternoon tour by visiting Beverly Hills and Hollywood before arriving at your hotel. 

Leave Los Angeles for Las Vegas and cross the Mojave Desert in the Death Valley, home to the world’s tallest thermometer and popular for its glorious sunrises and sunsets. Do not miss noticing a cluster of rare Joshua trees spread across the landscape. Your tour ends upon arrival in Las Vegas.
