What people love about Active Tours in USA
- Golden West Adventure
I picked the Golden West Adventure tour and it was simply amazing. We stayed in great hotels and hostels, the other people on board (over 40 people!) were all fun to cope with. Besides the price of the tour, you have to be prepared to spend additional ~$600 for other stuff, like visiting Alcatraz prison in San Francisco or a $250 flight in a helicopter above the Grand Canyon. Did I mention wonderful shows in Las Vegas? Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Hell yeah! If I were to decide on the best trip I ever had, it would be this one. But don't get me wrong, major factors were the people aboard the bus in which you traveled and I'm not talking now about the other travelers. I'm talking about our driver and our fabulous, amazing, lovely, charming and most important funny! - Tour Director Linda. Without her, I would drop the star count to 4, but she's a start herself, so a full 5/5 for Cosmos for having me experience a great time with them. Definitely recommend! Adam S.
- Western National Parks 7 Day Explorer Lodging
I had a wonderful time. I was a little disappointed in the accommodations at the Ellis Island hotel. Our deposit had not been taken care of as well as the resort fee. Our guide took care of the resort fee with his Bindlestiff Credit card but the hotel would no let him cover the deposit. The next night at the 395 travel lodge in Bishop our travel companions had an ant infestation in there room. Our SanFrancisco tour did not live up to the the booking guide. The was not stop at Fisherman’s Wharf.
- Spectacular Alaska!
The tour itself was fabulous. Tour guide and driver were both awesome and the sights were majestic. The food however the first few days was lacking.
What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in USA
When is the best time for Adventure tours in different USA regions?
Different regions of the USA have distinct peak seasons for adventure tours. Alaska tours run best from June to September with long daylight hours and milder temperatures. The desert regions around Grand Canyon and Zion are most comfortable in spring (March-May) or fall (September-November). The Marriott's Desert Springs Villas in Palm Desert works well for Joshua Tree visits during spring when temperatures stay moderate and desert wildflowers carpet the landscape.
What type of accommodation can I expect on USA Adventure tours?
The range spans from standard 3-star hotels like the Hilton Lake Las Vegas to nights under canvas in Yellowstone National Park. Many itineraries combine both styles. You might spend one night at the historic State Game Lodge in Custer State Park followed by camping in Grand Teton National Park. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The mix of accommodations really enhanced the adventure experience - from watching sunrise over Monument Valley from Glit skies in Yellowstone."
How many national parks can I typically visit on one USA Adventure tour?
Standard USA Adventure tours cover 4-7 national parks per trip. An 11-day journey often includes stops at Yellowstone Grand Teton Bryce Canyon Zion and Death Valley National Parks. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We visited six national parks in 11 days - each one unique and spectacular. From the geysers of Yellowstone to the towering cliffs of Zion, every day brought new wonders."
What kind of wildlife might I encounter on USA Adventure tours?
The national parks host diverse wildlife populations. Yellowstone offers sightings of grizzly bears wolves bison and elk. Grand Teton stands out for moose pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep while Death Valley houses specialized desert species. A TourRadar traveler reported: "We saw incredible wildlife in Yellowstone - herds of bison crossing the road, elk grazing in meadows, and even a mother bear with cubs near Mammoth Hot Springs."
What types of Adventure activities can I expect on USA Adventure tours?
Activities range from hiking Denali National Park to ice climbing Root Glacier in Alaska and exploring slot canyons in Capitol Reef. Grand Canyon National Park offers helicopter flights and rim-to-river hikes. A TourRadar traveler noted from their Alaska trip: "The ability to choose your own expeditions was a plus - we pushed ourselves with tent camping kayaking hiking glacier hiking canoeing and rafting."
What unique experiences are included in USA Adventure tours?
The tours feature special elements like Monument Valley 4x4 drives Yellowstone ranger programs and Grand Canyon sunrise viewings. Distinctive lodging such as Goulding's Lodge in Monument Valley and guided backcountry walks add depth to the experience. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The 4x4 tour through Monument Valley with our Navajo guide and watching Old Faithful erupt in Yellowstone were unforgettable experiences that went beyond typical sightseeing."
