CELEBRATING THE BEST OF AMERICA

Sometimes, the best trips are just around the corner

Scroll

Fifty states. Infinite states of mind.

For many of the team at Black Tomato, America is our own backyard. We live and breathe it; this sprawling universe of 10 million square kilometers. From the vineyards of Napa and the red rocks of Utah to the stunning coast of California. And since 2005, we’ve been helping travellers to discover it – one trip at a time.

That’s why we’ve been reminiscing about the many reasons we love America, and pulled together our favourite US experiences into this one single page. So scroll down, take your time, and discover corners of America you never knew existed. We’re ready when you are.

OUR MOST POPULAR US EXPERIENCES

When it comes to choosing where to go in America, the opportunities are endless. But we’re here to help. These are just some of our most popular experiences that take in the best of America.

Wyoming

A wild west adventure in Wyoming

Home to incredible technicolored springs and vast rugged mountains, nowhere screams ‘adventure’ quite like the American southwest. Starting in Jackson Hole, you’ll wind through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park, learning to track bears in the forest, white-water raft down Snake River, and horse ride through alpine meadows.

The best part? Flying into the one-of-a-kind, remote Sheldon Chalet.
