What's this trip about?

    With California serving up a healthy dose of sunshine, why would you need to leave the state's borders? Spend seven days cruising through beautiful California taking in the ultimate highlights of 'The Golden State'. In Los Angeles, hit the Walk of Fame and Beverly Hills before chilling out on Venice Beach and walking the boardwalk in Santa Monica. You'll explore the California Coast, stopping at Santa Barbara before heading inland to Yosemite National Park, where you'll enter the home of bears, waterfalls and walking trails. Last but by no means least is the 'City by the Bay', San Francisco, where you'll walk the Golden Gate Bridge and tour the hippy area of Haight-Ashbury. Finish your California adventure off in style with a sunset sailboat cruise around the bay - now that's what we call California Dreamin'!
