The Best North America Holiday Travel Itineraries

What are the best destinations for a holiday travel in North America?

Looking for a romantic weekend getaway? How about Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, United States.

Belize

Adventure and fun

Belize is known to have the second largest barrier reef worldwide, dense jungles with amazing wildlife, pristine palm-fringed beaches, lush tropical rain forests, etc. The best time to discover ‘Mother Nature’s best-kept secret’ is in the dry season, late November to mid-April. Then you also avoid the crowds and escalated prices of the peak season.

Belize is a diver’s best holiday destination, with plenty of unspoiled snorkeling experiences around the beautiful coral gardens. Take a boat trip to the Great Blue Hole, the world’s largest sinkhole. Enjoy the local food, go to the World’s Best Little Zoo, or the country’s oldest reserve, Hol Chan Marine Reserve, and more…

Boston

Home to baked beans and the bar from Cheers

When you delve a little deeper, you’ll discover a surprising number of things that make Boston one of the best cities in America—and the globe. Boston is most known for its delicious baked beans, Fenway Park, The Boston Marathon, and of course the bar from Cheers.

Things to do in Boston

Boston’s Hop-On Hop-Off tickets are worth it. Being able to get an overview of the city at the start of your holiday is a big bonus. Activities include the outdoors, guided tours, water activities, ziplining, and an amazing 90-minute historic sightseeing cruise.

Things to do in San Diego

One of the must-do’s in San Diego is a dinner cruise. They last normally between 2 to 3 hours and are worth it. What’s more, there are a few to choose from, so it makes it easy to include at least one of them in your trip to San Diego.

Toronto

One of the most multicultural cities in the world

One of the most outstanding day trips is the visit to Niagara Falls. Also, keep a day open to tour the Niagara wine region. Toronto's family-friendly harbor and island sightseeing cruises are very popular too.

Washington DC

North America is not only the home to Frank Sinatra’s world-famous song, New York, New York, but it’s also a vibrant country with amazing cultural activities. In addition, it’s the home to the capital city of the United States of America (USA), namely Washington, DC.

Visit Washinton DC
A magnificent city that is densely packed with American history at every turn

Washington DC is a top tourist destination, with its bustling neighborhoods and monuments and memorials on the National Mall.

Some of the top attractions in Denver include the Botanic Gardens, Mount Evans, Denver Union Station, Coors Field, Mount Evans Scenic Byway, Washington Park, day or half-day trips to the Rocky Mountain National Park, short excursions such as the haunted walking ghost tour, and many more…

The best time to visit Denver is from June to August when you can expect warm and arid weather. April, May, September, and October temperatures are still pleasant enough for sightseeing, while you’ll benefit from reduced out-of-season accommodation prices. Denver is known as the ‘Mile High City”, sitting 1 mile (1.6 km) above sea level.

Portland, Oregon

Life is short. Book your trip.

Skip the ticket line and book fun excursions such as the downtown ghost tour, or the family-friendly underground donut tour. Do self-guided tours, or join a guided tour such as the Eastside brewery walking tour, or spend a full day out and about on the Mount Hood wine and waterfalls excursion, or…

Choose tours of a longer duration and explore Denver and its surroundings such as Acadia and Penobscot Bay. There are tours for every age, from 5 to 85 plus years old, private, or small groups, wildlife, and adventure, or easy-going fully guided tours. The best time to tour Portland is in September.
