28 nights. Mexico, United States of America, Canada

Day 1

san diego, california

Departure: 17:00

San Diego, California, is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States and, arguably, one of the most beautiful. The whitewashed stucco buildings give a Mediterranean-style flavour to the architecture while the culture has a decidedly Mexican influence to it. Despite this foreign-country look and feel, the city of San Diego is uniquely American and a truly memorable place to visit. Mission Beach, one of the city’s most iconic spots, is perfect for surfing and relaxation. Balboa Park is one of the greatest urban parks of the world. With museums and gardens inside the park, you can spend days there. The grand houses of the Coronado district exude luxury and ate an historic national landmark. San Diego’s Old Town recreates traditional life from the past. Many fascinating buildings and artefacts bring the history alive in this area of the city. Everywhere there are blossoming flowers and spouting fountains and the magnificence of this colourful garden city makes it easy to forget the arid terrain of the nearby desert. With its many attractions and close proximity to Mexico, San Diego is an unforgettable city that's a very special kind of tourist metropolis.

Day 3

cabo san lucas, mexico

Arrival: 11:00 - Departure: 18:00

Los Cabos, at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, is where desert, mountains, and the Pacific Ocean meet in dramatic fashion. The region is anchored by two main towns: lively Cabo San Lucas, famous for its nightlife and marina, and the more laid‑back San José del Cabo, known for colonial architecture and art galleries. Between them stretches the “Tourist Corridor,” a scenic coastal highway lined with luxury resorts, golf courses, and pristine beaches. Most visitors are drawn to the sea. Boat tours take you past the iconic El Arco rock formation at Land’s End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, and offer chances to spot sea lions, dolphins, and in season, migrating humpback and gray whales. Snorkeling and diving reveal colorful reefs and abundant marine life at spots like Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay, while adventurers can try deep‑sea fishing, surfing, kitesurfing, or stand‑up paddleboarding. On land, Los Cabos offers a surprising variety of landscapes and activities. You can ride camels or ATVs through cactus‑studded desert, zip‑line across canyons, or hike in the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with freshwater pools and oak forests. Several world‑class golf courses overlook the ocean, and horseback rides at sunset along the beach are a romantic favorite. Food and culture add another layer to the experience. Los Cabos blends traditional Mexican flavors with fresh seafood and sophisticated coastal cuisine, from street‑side tacos al pastor to upscale farm‑to‑table restaurants in the nearby village of El Pescadero. Evenings can be spent bar‑hopping around Cabo San Lucas’s marina, enjoying live music and beach clubs, or strolling the Art Walk in San José del Cabo’s historic center, where galleries, boutiques, and cafés stay open late.

Mazatlán is a city in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. The city serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipio, known as the Mazatlán Municipality.

The city was founded in 1531 by an army of Spaniards and indigenous settlers.[2] By the mid-19th century, a large group of immigrants arrived from Germany. Together with the hard work of the Natives, they were able to develop Mazatlán into a thriving commercial seaport, importing equipment for the nearby gold and silver mines. It served as the capital of Sinaloa from 1859 to 1873. The German settlers also influenced the local music, banda, with some genres being an alteration of Bavarian folk music. The settlers also established the Pacifico Brewery on March 14, 1900.

Day 11

victoria, british columbia

Arrival: 14:00 - Departure: 21:00

Victoria is blessed with a pretty waterfront location at the southern tip of nature-endowed Vancouver Island. It has retained its Commonwealth roots perhaps more strongly than any place in Canada. Many consider it the most British city in North America. Founded in 1843 as a Hudson Bay Trading Post, its colonial past has been well-preserved and is in a state of constant loving restoration. But aside its glorious colonial past, Victoria is also proud of its ancient roots. Victoria is still today the home of the Lekwungen People who are also known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. Their culture and history are still very much a part of the city. Victoria’s historic downtown is a model for maintaining architectural integrity while keeping everything squeaky clean. Add to this, numerous dining, nightlife, cultural, and shopping opportunities not to mention that it is the warmest place in all Canada, full of flowers almost all year round. That is the reason it is considered the jewel of Canada's west coast and dubbed the city of gardens. Victoria is a charming little city with a joyful and laid-back atmosphere surrounded by amazingly beautiful scenery. It is no wonder tourists flock to Victoria and generally rave about it.

Day 18

port allen, kauai, hawaiian

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Kauaʻi, often called the “Garden Island,” is the lush, quieter cousin of the better‑known Hawaiian islands. Carpeted in emerald valleys, jagged cliffs, and dense rainforests, it offers a slower pace that appeals to travelers seeking nature, tranquility, and authentic local culture. From the moment you land, the island’s small towns, farmers’ markets, and absence of high‑rise skylines set the tone for a more intimate Hawaiian experience. Along the north shore, Hanalei Bay is a highlight, with its crescent of golden sand backed by waterfalls and taro fields. This area is perfect for swimming, surfing lessons, and sunset walks on the pier, while nearby Princeville offers scenic viewpoints and golf courses perched above the ocean. Further west, the legendary Nāpali Coast delivers some of Kauaʻi’s most iconic scenery—towering sea cliffs and hidden valleys best explored by boat tour, helicopter, or challenging coastal hikes. In the island’s interior, Waimea Canyon, often described as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” provides panoramic overlooks and a network of trails ranging from easy walks to demanding treks. The adjacent Kōkeʻe State Park offers cooler temperatures and misty forests, ideal for bird‑watching and escaping the coastal heat. On the sunny south shore, Poʻipū is the main resort area, with family‑friendly beaches, snorkeling spots, and good chances of spotting sea turtles and monk seals resting on the sand. Kauaʻi rewards unhurried exploration, so renting a car is highly recommended to reach trailheads, remote beaches, and small eateries scattered along the main highway. Pack for changeable weather—rain showers are common but usually brief, especially in the wetter north. Beyond its dramatic landscapes, the island’s charm lies in its local rhythms: plate lunches from roadside stands, slack‑key guitar at sunset, and conversations with residents who are proud stewards of their land and traditions.

The town’s compact center makes it easy to explore on foot, with the turquoise bay always just steps away. The surrounding coastline is a paradise for ocean lovers.

Kailua-Kona’s dining scene mixes casual local favorites with creative island cuisine.

The town stays lively after dark with live music, hula performances, and waterfront bars. Whether you’re here to relax on the lava-rock coast, dive into water sports, or use Kona as a base to discover the Big Island, Kailua-Kona offers a warm, sunny introduction to Hawaiʻi’s largest and most varied island.
