ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
The 13-Day West Coast USA Adventure is an epic road trip from the beaches of Southern California to the dramatic landscapes of the American Southwest. Along the way you’ll explore iconic cities like Los Angeles and Las Vegas, cruise legendary highways including Route 66 and experience some of the USA’s most breathtaking national parks.

ABOUT YOU
This trip is designed for travellers aged 18–35 who want to see the what the West has to offer. You’ll love this tour if you’re adventurous, social and up for a mix of city buzz, beach vibes and nature-filled days - whether that’s exploring the depths of the Grand Canyon, seeing what's up for bets in Sin City, or chilling on the beaches of Santa Monica. If you want a West Coast adventure that feels exhilarating, fun and full of variety, you’ll fit right in.
TRAVEL STYLE
This is a social, small-group tour with a well-paced itinerary that covers a lot without feeling chaotic. You’ll have a blend of guided inclusions and free time, with transport and timings organised for you throughout. Expect accommodation to be mainly camping, however with a couple nights of what will then feel like luxury hotels and hostels. You will have plenty of opportunities to explore, eat, shop and relax in each stop. It’s adventure-forward, comfortable enough, and perfect for travellers who want maximum experience with minimum stress.
GROUP VIBE
Groups are made up of travellers from all over the world, and plenty of people join solo. The vibe is friendly, social and flexible — some nights are chilled, others turn into big shared dinners and late-night laughs. You’ll bond quickly through the shared experiences: sweaty hikes, beach dips, and the jaw-dropping moments too! By the end, it feels less like a tour group and more like a big family.
TOUR INFORMATION
GOOD TO KNOW
This is an 18-35 social West Coast USA group tour with a mix of shared accommodation, and camping.
The majority of travellers join solo. Groups are mixed gender and made up of adventure travellers from all over the world.
This tour is designed for travellers aged 18–35 who have a sense of adventure, combining nature, big cities and beach life.
The 13-day itinerary is fast-moving but well balanced, covering a lot of ground while still allowing time to explore, rest and soak up each destination.
Some nights are social, especially in cities like Las Vegas, while others are quieter, particularly when camping in National Parks.
We recommend travelling with a backpack or soft-sided luggage, as the itinerary includes a lot of camping near National Parks. We also suggest to pack as lightly as possible.
The West of America's weather is known for warm weather, but there is some variation depending on whether you're in mountainous, desert or beach areas. Night time temperatures can get down to single digits, so we recommend packing for both hot and cold conditions. Transport schedules and activities may change due to weather or local conditions, and your guide will manage any necessary adjustments.
This is a partner tour operated by ULTIMATE’s trusted local partners in the USA. You’ll travel with ULTIMATE travellers as well as other international adventure travellers, all guided by an experienced local team.
Optional activities may be available during the tour and can be organised locally with your guide, subject to availability and conditions.
Onward transport at the end of the tour is not included and can be arranged locally with help from your guide.
