California & The Pacific Self Drive Holidays
From misty forests to golden beaches — discover the ultimate USA adventure along the Pacific Coast.
From the Canadian border to the sun-drenched shores of Mexico, America’s Pacific region is a journey through pure West Coast magic. Discover a land where wild coastal cliffs meet golden beaches lined with palms, where ancient redwoods tower above misty forests, and where world-class cities sparkle with character. From Seattle’s coffee culture to San Francisco’s Golden Gate, and from Los Angeles’ movie glamour to San Diego’s laid-back charm, every stop along the coast tells its own story. You’ll find legendary National Parks such as Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree and Olympic, alongside shimmering lakes like Tahoe, Crater Lake and Mammoth Lakes. And for those who enjoy a little indulgence, California’s sun-kissed vineyards in Napa and Sonoma produce 90% of America’s wine.
Whether you dream of cruising the Pacific Coast Highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, exploring the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest, or blending Yosemite’s grandeur with the bright lights of Las Vegas, this region delivers unforgettable variety. Enjoy iconic theme parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios, stroll Hollywood Boulevard, or relax on a San Diego beach as the sun sets over the Pacific.

We want you to experience the real feel of Route 66 and you’ll stay in restored historic hotels and motels in some locations. Should you prefer modern hotels we are happy to swap these for you.
