Experience the best of the Golden State with bespoke California holidays from Journeyscape. From sun-drenched beaches and iconic cities to dramatic national parks and scenic coastal drives, California offers endless variety in one unforgettable destination.

You might start in San Francisco, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge before heading south along the Pacific Coast Highway. Los Angeles brings a different energy, with world-class entertainment, culture, and cuisine, while inland landscapes reveal Yosemite’s waterfalls, Napa Valley’s vineyards, and the stark beauty of the desert.

California is perfect for a road trip, but there’s no single way to explore it. Some travellers want a classic coast-to-coast journey, while others prefer to focus on wine regions, national parks, or city breaks.

At Journeyscape, we create tailor-made holidays designed around your interests and pace. With carefully planned routes, handpicked stays, and expert guidance throughout, you can experience California exactly how you want to, without compromise.

Directly accessible from the UK, choose between laid-back, sunny San Diego, glitzy, glamorous Los Angeles or the metropolitan icon that is San Francisco. Each one has a unique character and culture that is all its own, not to mention a prestigious location along California’s incredible coast.

A drive along this beautiful nearly 900-mile length of the state is a must. The Pacific Coast Highway will take you past scenic sights up and down the state, so make sure you stop by the charming towns and delightful beaches along the way.

Of course, the coast isn’t all there is to see, and a journey inland offers a myriad of natural treasures. Travel to the lush vineyards of Northern California – the state produces 90% of America’s finest wines – and a visit here will also include some of the state’s finest dining. From the high peaks of Yosemite National Park to the magnificent redwood forests, nature thrives in California. So much so, in fact, that the state alone produces half of the fruit and vegetables for the United States. You’ll quickly find that farm-fresh food is something California is known for.

Whether you want to take a surf lesson on Huntington Beach or visit one of LA’s many impressive museums, stroll through San Diego’s picturesque Balboa Park or cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge, with so much to do and see, it won’t be long before you realise that California is an incredible place to be.
