La la land: a city characterised by its blissful lack of touch with reality. And the perfect place to sack off your everyday routine and catapult into a two-week Californian adventure. First: meet the fellow explorers sharing the ride. Then we’ll begin to get our bearings around this ginormous city on a driving tour. Get ready for LA big guns: Santa Monica and Venice Beach. Spot roller skaters gliding along Santa Monica boardwalk – their skills? Next level. Witness allll the palm trees. You’re bouta see that Venice Beach pic for real. No filter required.

12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 2: Los Angeles

Sun-kissed. Creative. Ruggedly good looking. LA is your ideal Tinder date – minus the swiping and awkward small talk. This morning we’ll take to the Hollywood Hills with a local guide – expect the inside scoop on the movie biz and some BIG white letters (if you’re looking for a sign, this is it). Afterwards, rest your legs and keep those eyes peeled. We’re bouta see star-studded scenes on another driving tour. Spot your fav celebs at Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. There’s more than *drumroll please* 2700 concrete stars. For real. Then: turn up the boujee volume, we’re heading to Beverly Hills. Swoon in shopping heaven along Rodeo Drive. Ogle super luxurious cribs with big name owners. Think: Hayley Bieber, Queen Bey, Tay Tay Swift. You never know who you’re gonna rub shoulders with in the 90210 zip code. Hint: the bigger the sunnies, the bigger the star.

Jump back on the minicoach amigos, today we’re heading down the Pacific Coast to San Diego. After a drive around town, we’ll park up at Mission Beach. Your next mission? Explore this beaut of a city! Ride the rollercoaster at Belmont Park. Stretch your legs along the beachfront boardwalk. Tuck into a California Burrito – they were born here. Or get your culture fix at Balboa Park, chock-a-block with alllll the museums and galleries. And this eve? Make a beeline for Old Town and get stuck into an authentic Mexican feast. Technicolour flags, tortillas and tequila = good times all round.

Day 4 Day 4: San Diego
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: San Diego

This is your day to delve deeper – need some suggestions? If aircraft carriers are your thing, there’s an optional trip to the USS Midway to get on board with. Or take Fleetwood’s advice and go your own way – slip on the Nikes and hit the lesser-known hiking trails around Balboa Park or head to Little Italy for not-so-little food portions. Later, find out why they call this place ‘America’s Craft Beer Captial’ on a micro-brewery crawl with your trip mates. Or take a picnic down to the beach and watch the sun go down. This is what you came for.

- Visit the USS Midway: from $16 USD

Day 5 Day 5: San Diego To Prescott, Arizona
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 5: San Diego To Prescott, Arizona

There’s time for one last dip in the Pacific Ocean before we roll onto Arizona today. This state is made for road trips. Stretches of endless sky. Expanses of red desert. Centuries-old history. And some pretty famous rock formations. Next: straighten your neckerchief and shine up that sheriff badge. When we pull up in Prescott, the saloons of Whiskey Row await. During the Cali Gold Rush this place was heaving with cowboys and miners searching for a shot (or a shoot). After going down in a blaze of flames in 1900, it was rebuilt to its heyday glory. Ready for a real wild (west) experience? Get out there, partner!

Disclaimer: this is a bit of a drive day. So, stock up on snacks and share around the AUX cord – we’re going to blast some banging tunes all the way to Flagstaff (the gateway to the Grand Canyon). This eve, get all starry-eyed with a night-time tour at Lowell Observatory. Stargazing got you feeling tiny? We’ll continue the theme tomorrow – you’ve seen the pictures, but nothing can prepare you for the feels you’ll have standing on the edge of something so mighty.

And the only way to see one of the world’s most incredible natural wonders in its entirety, is from the sky. DW we’ve organised an optional heli-tour for you. After you’ve filled your SD card, we’ll make tracks to Sin City. Seriously, this place is so neon it hurts to look at.

Shake the confetti from your hair – we’re outta here. Next stop? The Sierra Nevada Mountains. This place is Disneyland for outdoor enthusiasts. Where sheer-faced granite walls reign supreme, giant sequoia trees loom over dense forest floors and the sound of thundering waterfalls fill the air. Keen to show off your spider-monkey-worthy swinging skills? There’s an optional aerial adventure course on the cards.

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this place – so we’re not going to try. You’ve got a full day to experience the magic of Yosemite (yo-sem-it-ee) for yourself. Don’t waste a second. Start with the Mist Trail for incredible views that compensate for the burning calves. Follow the trail to the top of Vernal Falls and be rewarded with a refreshing dip in Emerald Pool. Want more of a challenge? Follow ‘nature’s staircase’ to the top of Navada Falls. DW if walking isn’t your thing – there’s a free shuttle to get around.

Learn the who’s who of ‘The City’ on a driving tour – including Pier 39, the Fisherman’s Wharf and The Painted Ladies. Then: for the full local vibe track down a steaming plate of Joe’s Special.

Then, hire a set of wheels and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito. History buffs will want to tour Alcatraz (get your tix in advance!). Or wander the waterfront and get a pic with the locals at Pier 39. Union Square is the place to flash some plastic before you head home.
