Space. Cowboys. BBQ. And plenty in between—one memorable Texas road trip.

Cowboys are hardly unexpected in Texas, but staying on a genuine dude ranch is a different story.

At Mayan Dude Ranch near Bandera, clients spend two nights experiencing ranch life, with horseback riding at the heart of the stay and meals and scheduled ranch activities included, with time to slow down and experience a different side of Texas.

Then there’s Grapevine. Rather than automatically staying in Dallas or Fort Worth, clients keep their rental car and base themselves here for four nights. Historic Main Street, Texas wine and food make Grapevine a destination in its own right, while Fort Worth is around 30 minutes away and Dallas around 35 minutes by car, making it easy to explore both without changing hotels.

Sometimes going beyond the obvious is as much about where clients stay as what they see.

If you have clients who have always dreamed of really exploring Hawai‘i, Travel USA has created a true bucket-list adventure—17 days combining Oahu, Kaua‘i, Maui and the Island of Hawai‘i, packed with incredible experiences and inclusions along the way.

It begins on Oahu, mixing Waikiki’s beaches and energy with Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian culture, a sunset catamaran cruise, the legendary North Shore and spectacular landscapes of Kualoa Ranch, showcasing the many different sides of the island. Then it’s on to Kaua‘i, where Hawai‘i becomes wilder and greener, with Waimea Canyon, lush valleys and the soaring cliffs of the Na Pali Coast creating some of Hawai‘i’s most dramatic scenery.
Maui brings another change of pace, from sunrise above Haleakala to waterfalls, rainforest and beautiful beaches along the Road to Hana.
Finally, the Island of Hawai‘i reveals another side, from swimming with manta rays off Kona to exploring the volcanic landscapes around Hilo.
It’s a memorable way to experience four very different Hawaiian islands, but it’s also just a starting point. Travel USA can tailor the journey, or create something completely different around your clients’ interests, timeframe and budget.

. . . Experiences

This 16-night adventure includes ocean view and oceanfront accommodation on all four islands, with unforgettable experiences throughout. Explore Pearl Harbor and Kualoa Ranch, fly doors-off over Kaua‘i, watch the sunrise from Haleakala, drive the Road to Hana, snorkel Molokini or explore Lanai by 4WD, swim with manta rays and discover Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Rental cars and Travel USA’s personalised trip planning are also included. View the package HERE.

Oahu and Maui may be the islands clients know best, but Kaua‘i and the Island of Hawai‘i reveal very different sides of Hawai‘i.

Kaua‘i is Hawai‘i at its dramatic best, with rainforest-covered valleys, deep canyons and the towering sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park are spectacular from the ground, while the included doors-off helicopter flight offers an unforgettable perspective from above.

On the Island of Hawai‘i, the scenery changes again. Clients can snorkel with manta rays after dark off Kona before travelling to Hilo and Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where lava fields, steam vents, craters and Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube) reveal the volcanic forces still shaping the island.

Together, all four islands create a journey that shows just how much variety Hawai‘i has to offer.

Northern California

America The Beautiful: One Adventure At A Time

Explore Northern California

Northern California, USA Sequoia National Park

There’s much more to Northern California than San Francisco, and Travel USA’s 17-day Explore Northern California journey brings together some of the region’s most spectacular landscapes in just one memorable self-drive adventure.

Begin with three nights in San Francisco before picking up a car and heading south. Follow the Pacific Coast Highway through Santa Cruz to Monterey, then continue via Carmel and the dramatic coastline of Big Sur to San Luis Obispo.

From the coast, head inland to three of California’s great national parks. Clients can walk among giant sequoias in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, before spending three nights exploring awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park, where soaring granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls and vast valleys create scenery photographs simply don’t do justice. From Yosemite, continue through the Sierra Nevada to beautiful South Lake Tahoe, then Sacramento and the vineyards of Napa Valley.

On the return journey to San Francisco, stop to see the towering redwoods of Muir Woods and waterfront Sausalito.

It’s a great combination of coast, mountains, forests, lakes, national parks, wine country and some truly spectacular drives—all brought together in one Northern California road trip.

San Francisco and Yosemite may grab the headlines, but some of Northern California’s most rewarding discoveries lie beyond the obvious.

The Majestic Mountain Loop introduces clients to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, home to giant sequoias including the General Sherman and General Grant trees, surrounded by mountains, canyons and spectacular scenery.

Further north, South Lake Tahoe brings a different landscape, with clear alpine waters surrounded by the Sierra Nevada and opportunities to hike, cruise or take in the views.
Then there’s Napa Valley, where two nights give clients time to explore one of America’s great wine regions before returning to San Francisco.

Together, these stops add even more variety to the journey and show clients just how much there is to discover beyond Northern California’s best-known names.
