Welcome to the “City by the Bay”! From the iconic Golden Gate to the quirky neighborhoods, San Francisco is equal parts cosmopolitan and creative. Check in, settle down, and meet your Travel Director and fellow explorers over a welcome dinner.
Start your morning with San Francisco’s dazzling mix of sights—from Fisherman’s Wharf to Union Square. Wander through neighborhoods where Victorian charm collides with modern flair. Cap off the day with a scenic ferry cruise to Sausalito, a breezy seaside town perfect for shopping or soaking up waterfront vibes.
Take in fresh ocean air as you walk across the Golden Gate Bridge—an engineering marvel turned global icon. Then, head into Sonoma Valley, where rolling vineyards and rustic charm set the stage for wine tastings and a laid-back lunch among your travel companions.
Travel through the Sacramento River Valley to Lake Tahoe, where shimmering blue waters meet evergreen peaks. The alpine air is fresh, the scenery breathtaking, and the pace—exactly what you need to recharge.
Climb high into the Sierra Nevada via Tioga Pass (seasonal) en route to Yosemite National Park. Stand before El Capitan, hear the thunder of Bridalveil Fall, and feel dwarfed by the grandeur of the valley that inspired John Muir. Tonight, sleep under the stars (well, almost) inside the park. Note: If Tioga Pass is closed, an alternate route will be taken.
Start the morning among the giants of the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias (seasonal), then continue to Monterey. Tonight, dig into a farm-to-table dinner at Happy Girl Kitchen Co., where local ingredients shine in every bite.
Cruise along 17-Mile Drive, one of the world’s most scenic coastal roads. Explore storybook Carmel-by-the-Sea, then dive into Salinas Valley for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience—discovering sustainable farming and tasting regional specialties. Wrap up your journey with a lively farewell dinner back in Monterey.
Bid farewell to the coast with a walk through the towering giants of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Later, return to San Francisco, where your Golden State adventure comes to an end. Departure Transfer: Drop-off at San Francisco International Airport at 1:00 PM
