Whether you’re taking a once-in-a-life road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway, or dipping into a city or two, a trip to California is set to be a core life memory. But first: the planning. We’ll listen to what you want – and what you need – and weave together a luxury California holiday that serves up something truly unforgettable.
That could mean soaring over Los Angeles’ Hollywood sign in a chopper, pedalling across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, or taking a taco tour in San Diego. Or you may prefer an off-the-beaten track hike in Yosemite or Sequoia National Parks, a pause for wine tasting in the sun-dappled Napa Valley, whale spotting in the peaceful ocean, and long days diving into the surf at one of the state’s sun-kissed beaches. Perhaps you’re keen on all of that – or more than that.
With teams on the ground exploring every corner of the state, we have a pretty epic list of the best places to visit in California, but we’re also here to help you uncover the lesser-known places that feel distinctly “you”. Roof down. Volume up. Let’s get started.
Sure, you could explore Yosemite National Park solo, but to really uncover into this rural wonderland – which we consider one of the best places to visit in California – we’ll arrange a Conservancy Naturalist to join you. Their step-by-step in-depth accounts will elevate your hike from “just good views” to extraordinary insights into the region’s culture and history. If you have kids with you, we’ll arrange for them to play park ranger for the day, giving them responsibility and connecting them to the land.
There are few wildlife encounters as exhilarating as spying whales breaching in a vast, glittering ocean. On this humbling excursion you’ll get a rarely-gained insight into California’s nature from your own private Zodiac (an inflatable speed boat). As you watch them from safe respectful distances, your expert naturalist will tell you about the lives of these majestic animals that call the California coastline home.
It’s worth every second of your pre-dawn wake up call to experience this – one of the most spectacular things to do in California. After a briefing at the hot air balloon launch site, you’ll soon be lifting into the air to float over the rolling northern valleys of the world-famous Napa Valley. Up in the sky, life feels very different. Soak in the sounds as you drift over the vineyards and countryside.
Almost all of our California luxury holidays include a drive along the 656-mile-long Pacific Coast Highway. This is more than just a way to get from A to B, but a journey of fresh air, freedom, and feel-good fun. Depending on the stretch you drive (we’ll craft an itinerary that best suits you), you’ll skim along the coastline, witnessing the natural beauty on a drive that’s studded with state parks, lighthouses, redwood forests, kitsch coastal towns, and see-it-to-believe-it bays.
You’ll cover so much ground on an easy-breezy electric bike tour of San Francisco. This is a trip that we can tailor to you and your group, but we love to share our intel on the hippest bars, galleries, and secret viewpoints of the city – before letting you loose to explore yourself. We’ll begin at Fisherman’s Wharf, skim the waterfront to Fort Point and cross the iconic Golden Gate bridge to the quaint fishing village of Sausalito. Hungry? We’ll park up at the oldest Chinatown in North America for pillowy dim sum and sweet moon cakes.
To truly understand a city as vast as Los Angeles, you need to see it with a local. This half-day private tour begins with an exciting glimpse into the city’s glamorous side, seeing the Hollywood Sign, strolling along Rodeo Drive, and seeking out your favourite celebrity’s brass star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Then it’s on to the coast, for a laid-back afternoon kicking back on the sand, soaking in the heady mix of sunshine and surf, before cocktails with a view over cocktails looking out over the bright lights of Santa Monica pier.
Yosemite National Park
Speaking about Yosemite, naturalist John Muir stated that it was “the grandest of all the special temples of Nature.” Naturally, we agree. With ancient sequoias, granite mountains stretching to the cloud-tufted sky, and epic waterfalls, this park is nothing short of magnificent. This is California’s nature at its most awe-inspiring.
Los Angeles
Some 200 years ago, this cinematic city was simply mountains and ocean beneath a seemingly-never ending sky. Today, it’s one of the coolest most varied cities in the states, where each distinct neighbourhood delivers something entirely different – whether it’s designer boutiques and celeb-filled restaurants or bohemian cafes and sun-kissed beaches. It’s one of the best places to visit in California for so many reasons, and there’s definitely a version of LA that is right for you.
San Francisco
Think “San Francisco” and you may think of the Golden Gate Bridge. But beyond that iconic ocean crossing is a city of beautifully maintained pastel-hued Victorian houses, restaurants to rival some of your long-standing favourites, and a thriving art scene. And all those steep hills? They just mean even better views of the bridges and bay (head up Twin Peaks for the panoramic shot).
