North America Tour Selection Trips
- To keep your tour manageable, think regionally: the Northwestern or Southwestern U.S., the Canadian Maritimes, Canadian Rockies, etc.
- U.S. national parks are some of the finest in the world and a good place to keep tour prices down, especially if you like camping.
- While most of its citizens live near the U.S. border, Canada is the world’s second largest country, with vast wilderness, mountain and coastal areas awaiting exploration.
- Greenland, one of the least visited islands in the world, is part of North America, too – and has a fascinating Arctic culture and landscape.
- Mexico is far more diverse than you might imagine: think Mayan culture vs. modern-day Mexico City, Oaxacan marketplaces vs. Cancun party scene.
Additional details
What Countries are in North America?
North America consists of Canada, Mexico, and the United States (including the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
What is the best time to visit North America?
The best time to visit North America will vary based on destination.
Travelers booking a trip to Alaska or northern Canada may want to avoid the cold, dark winters as most guided tours only operate in the warmer months and transportation may be difficult to find. If you are hoping to see the Northern Lights, the “shoulder seasons” of late fall and early spring may be your best bet; the skies will be dark enough to see the beauty of the lights, but the climate won’t be as harsh.
The best time to visit Mexico is the dry season between December and April. Temperatures are warm enough during this time to enjoy the beach and the sun while avoiding the rainy season of late summer to early fall. Keep in mind that prices peak around the holiday season.
The southern and eastern regions of the United States can get extremely hot and humid in the summer and freezing in the winter-- avoid weather extremes by visiting in the fall or spring. The Pacific Northwest tends to be warmest and driest during the summer and fall, but don’t be surprised if you encounter rainy skies at any time of year.
Skiers and snowboarders will naturally want to head to the mountains during winter or early spring when there is enough snow on the peaks. Hikers can avoid snow-covered or muddy trails during winter by visiting in the late summer or fall.
Safety tips for traveling in North America
North America is generally considered a safe place to travel, although there is crime in the big cities and in some areas of Mexico. Of course, it is important to use common sense and be aware of your surroundings when traveling to any new place.
Safety tips for traveling in North America:
- Watch out for pickpockets. Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables close and out of sight.
- Don’t carry large sums of cash.
- Use certified taxicab companies to avoid being ripped off.
- Ask your tour guide or hotel staff about areas to avoid.
- When around wildlife, never get too close. Most national and state parks provide instructions online or at visitor centers on what to do if you encounter wildlife.
- If you will be driving a car in an unfamiliar country, get familiar with the driving laws and customs of the country to avoid accidents and traffic stops.
- When traveling alone, give a friend or family member a copy of your itinerary and don’t mention to any strangers that you are alone.
