In North America, snow-capped peaks give way to desert canyons, cosmopolitan cities hum beside quiet fishing villages, and thundering waterfalls share the same horizon as rolling vineyards. The Northern Lights dance across endless skies in Canada and Alaska, where glaciers glint in the moonlight. Sunsets stain the Grand Canyon gold, and waves crash along California’s coast. Every mile here tells a different story, and every twist in the trail leads to something unforgettable.
North America with Adventure World
No two journeys through North America are ever the same, and with Adventure World every itinerary is crafted to truly match you. Whether you dream of weaving through Canada’s mountain passes aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, or tracing the USA’s legendary highways on a self-drive adventure, our trips combine iconic sights with unique experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Cities across the continent are soulful and surprising. Vancouver lives where ocean meets peaks. Seattle buzzes on coffee and innovation. Nashville’s heartbeat is music, while Boston’s history is alive on every corner.
Here, you’ll savour the flavours that tell a place’s story – flaky Québec pastries and maple-sweet breakfasts, coastal British Columbia feasts of salmon and shellfish, and Texas barbecue smoked slow. Travelling with Adventure World, you’ll be perfectly placed to feed your curiosity with meals worth crossing continents for.
And while the cities are special, North America is an ode to the outdoors. Watch grizzlies fish beneath glacier-carved peaks, spot orcas off misty shores and track bison across Yellowstone’s steaming plains. Wander through Yosemite’s granite cathedrals, bask in Banff’s alpine beauty, and stand at the Grand Canyon rim as sunlight melts into stone.
Across Canada and the USA, you’ll meet Indigenous storytellers and community leaders for respectful, meaningful encounters that support local initiatives and preserve living traditions. We work with cultural custodians so these visits are mutually beneficial and led on community terms – revealing the most authentic, immersive side of the lands you walk.
Whether your passion is wildlife, culture, history or the open road, we’ll match you with the experiences that bring North America to life.
Jasper National Park, Alberta
Vancouver, Canada
Where will your adventure begin?
Step into a realm where land and legend intertwine. Whether exploring lands shaped by volcanoes, sailing waters once navigated by explorers, or standing in awe before the continent’s natural cathedrals, North America’s spirit is boundless.
Canada
Canada is vast, wild, and endlessly varied – a place where nature still shapes the rhythm of life. In the west, the Canadian Rockies rise in rugged splendour, best savoured on a scenic rail journey. Venture north to Churchill, Manitoba, where polar bears and belugas share the icy wilderness, or to the Great Bear Rainforest to seek the elusive spirit bear. Wildlife here is everywhere – from grizzlies fishing in salmon streams to orcas slicing through Pacific waters.
In Eastern Canada, French-speaking cities like Montréal and Québec blend old-world charm with cosmopolitan energy, their cobbled streets filled with cafe chatter and culinary delights. And in winter, Canada becomes a wonderland: dog sledding through the Yukon, snowshoeing in silent forests, or spending a night in Québec’s shimmering Ice Hotel. With Adventure World, every season offers its own magic –and every journey takes you further into the heart of this extraordinary land.
USA
The USA is a mosaic of landscapes, cultures, and histories – each state a world of its own. In the west, red rock canyons blaze beneath desert skies, Utah’s Mighty Five national parks unfold in sculpted sandstone, and Yellowstone’s geysers send plumes into the air above wild Wyoming plains.
Beyond nature, discover vibrant cities that hum with creativity and culture. Ride a cable car through San Francisco’s fog, wander Denver’s mountain-framed streets, or stand beneath the neon glow of Las Vegas lights. In the south, music spills into the night – jazz in New Orleans, blues in Memphis, country in Nashville –while Texas blends cowboy heritage with bold, big-hearted cuisine.
And then there’s Alaska – a world apart, where glaciers tumble into icy fjords, bald eagles wheel overhead, humpback whales breach in glimmering bays, and bears roam the wild coastline.
With endless variety and larger-than-life charm, the USA invites you to go big, dream bigger, and collect moments that will stay with you forever.
