Book this itinerary
If you're dreaming about exploring a ton of cool spots in the Western part of USA. Los Angeles, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park and Sin City, Las Vegas - just to name a few, this is the perfect itinerary.

Board the plane that takes you all the way to Los Angeles and touch down in California's biggest city. Spend a few days in L.A. before joining the surf camp in Dana Point. If you want to explore L.A., let us know, we collaborate with a really cool hostel at Venice Beach. 

Next stop is Dana Point where we've arranged an 7 day stay in a surf camp, where you will learn to surf like a pro. Get exhausted during the day when trying to master the board, and chill in the camp in the evenings - preferably with a cold drink in your hand.

With your newly acquired skill, it's time to move on. Next up is an 8 day adventure tour with other backpackers. You'll travel from Los Angeles to first Joshua Tree National Park, then Grand Canyon, the small town Page, then through both Zion National Park and Bryce National Park before ending up in Las Vegas, also known as Sin City. See if you're lucky at the tables or spend some time at one of the many, many parties going on at all times during the day. The trip ends here, and you fly home from Las Vegas.

Remember that this is just an example and that you can tailor this route suggestion to fit your needs and desires! Maybe you want to shorten the number of days? Maybe you want to travel more? We have plenty of options for you, just reach out to us!

Los Angeles Time on your own

We can hook you up with a really cool hostel right by Venice Beach, one of the best places to stay when you're in L.A. Check out the beach promenade, explore nearby Abbot Kinney Boulevard filled with hip cafés and quirky designer shops and check out the view from Griffith Park Observatory. When you're done exploring L.A. it's time to get your surf on!

Dana Point Surf's up!

It's only a short 1h drive from Los Angeles to Dana Point, so you'll arrive at the surf camp in no time. Throw your bag in your room and get ready to conquer the waves. You'll get surf instructions during the day by some of the best in this area, and by the end of the week, you'll be seeing yourself jumping up on that board like a pro. When the sun is setting and it's time to chill, enjoy the laid back vibe of the surf camp. Hang out with the rest of the surfers and enjoy a well deserved cold beer after a long and exhausting day in the waves.

Los Angeles to Las Vegas 8 days group adventure

You've learned to surf - check! Now it's time for some jaw-dropping nature experiences. Join this 8 day group adventure, that takes you all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in a road-trip-kind-of-adventure.

As if that's not enough, you'll also pass both Bryce National Park and Zion National Park before touching down in Las Vegas, famous for it's amazing parties and thousands of gambling opportunities.
