5. Alaska
From top to bottom, Alaska is jaw-droppingly scenic, and comes complete with a number of its own isolated luxury lodges. This adventurous journey is a perfect example of Alaska having it all – with a private heli-hiking tour lifting off from boreal forest into the mountains above and a visit to Kenai Fjords National Park to look out over the thousand-foot-thick ice of Harding Icefield, the nesting seabirds of the cliffs and the Wolverines that roam the shorelines. We can guarantee you’ll return home together having left no stone unturned.

7. Oregon
From Portland to Bend, you can take things at a slower pace in Oregon – enjoying some quality family time together amongst beautiful coastlines and forests. Climb atop mighty dunes for sweeping ocean views and head out to sea from Depoe Bay to search for the massive grey whales that call the area home – there’s scope for a luxury family holiday here packed full of those extra-special, extra-exclusive Black Tomato experiences.

8. New England
Home to six states, each with their own delightful character, New England is certainly not short of charm. Summer is a great time to visit, but so is fall – to catch the region’s famous fall colours, dappling its landscapes with rich hues of burnt orange and deep auburn.
Jam-packed full of exciting escapades and seaside stop-offs, this coastal family road trip is an adventure in every sense of the word. In Boston, you’ll spend the day at sea, hauling lobsters off the back of a boat with seasoned lobstermen, and to cook them for dinner later. On Nantucket Island, you’ll take a private tour and learn all about its original native American inhabitants, the Wampanoag people. In Cape Cod, you’ll go whale watching off the coast of Chatham. Witnessing a 50ft 66,000lb humpback breaching out of the water right before your eyes is something you and the kids won’t forget in a hurry.
