The single greatest vacation to take is to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Very few places on Earth can match the spectacular beauty, the rich culture, wonderful people or the Spirit of Aloha found on a Hawaiian Tour. Unfortunately, for most, a dream trip to Hawaii seems like it will always remain just a dream.
Those thinking about taking a family trip this year should consider taking one of many exciting Yellowstone Tours. Yellowstone Park is the oldest national park in America having been established in 1870, and Yellowstone is still very popular with our current generation. It is also a huge park, placed so that it wanders into Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Many know it as the home of Old Faithful, the water geyser that sends up a spray of water like clockwork. The entire park is full of interesting geological formations, such as columnar basalt near the oft photographed Tower Fall. Old faithful and many other pools of water are heated to beyond boiling temperatures by lava coursing under the Earth’s surface.
While the majority of people who take a Las Vegas Vegas go for the casinos and the buffets, there is actually a lot more to the entertainment capitol of the world than the latest Cirque du Soleil performance. Aside from the Vegas Strip, there are many other sights in and around the Las Vegas, Nevada area to draw visitors. One of the best ways to tour the area’s wonders is from above ground by helicopter. There are a number of helicopter tours daily that are affordable to just about any budget.
As a bit of an outdoorsman, one of my absolute favorite places to visit on a tour is Yellowstone National Park. The park itself extends in to portions of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, and is the first national park to have been established in the United States.
In addition to hundreds of types of wildlife and a huge variety of plantlife, Yellowstone is also home to one of the largest active volcanos in North America! One quick look at all of the geysers and hot springs found in the area is a clear indication of the active nature of the Yellowstone National Park. Millions have the adventure of a lifetime each year on Yellowstone Tours, and there are an almost endless number of sites to see.
Easily one of the most incredible places to visit for a tour or vacation is Niagara Falls. It is easy to see why a Niagara Falls tour is a top destination for millions of people each year. If you’re like me and travelling with your family, then getting the best possible vacation for the least amount of money is at the top of your list. Here are a few tips on how to travel cheaper to this natural wonder of North America.
The biggest money-saving tip I’ve found is to look for package deals when planning your Niagara Falls tour vacation. When you book your hotel and tour separately, you’ll often find yourself paying twice and sometimes three times as much as you would if you booked them through a tour provider.
As a married man and a father, one of the most important vacation items I always keep in mind are: what is there out there which is fun and kid-friendly on a vacation tour. My wife and I went tried to answer that very question on our recent vacation which included a Washington DC tour.
Luckily, as a vacationer who has taken trips to our nation’s capitol more than 15 times in my lifetime, I had a good start on what to look for as we were planning our that tour to Washington DC.
At nearly 277 miles long, the Grand Canyon extends almost 18 miles wide and dips down as low as 4500 feet deep. When planning your next Grand Canyon Tour, make sure to be familiar with the three distinct areas managed by the National Park Service: the inner Canyon, the North Rim and the South Rim as you prepare for your next Grand Canyon Tour.
Here is our list for the top 10 Essential Things to Remember for any tour or vacation trip to the Grand Canyon. Check it out!
1. Figure out the best way to reach the Grand Canyon for the start of your tour. Taking a road trip may be cheaper, though, these days the cost of gas can be steep. Traveling by plane may save time and sanity.
When you travel as well as where you are going will dictate how expensive your vacation will become. Visiting friends or relatives in New Orleans in February will be costly. New York or Hawaii over the Christmas and New Years holiday period will set you back a King’s ransom. Arizona or Florida in winter can be very expensive.
But Florida can be expensive in summer as well, as can San Francisco or New York. Rather than hunker down under the covers all year however, try traveling in the ‘shoulder’ (sometimes called off-peak) seasons.
If you are ready to get over your fear of heights, then perhaps a Grand Canyon tour is for you. The Grand Canyon Skywalk Tour (picture above) will take you out over this incredible landscape. If that is not enough for you, well, we suggest taking a helicopter tour to soak it all in. The Grand Canyon is located in the State of Arizona in the Grand Canyon National Park. If you would like more information about touring this location then visit our Grand Canyon Tours and Information Center.
