Fly from the UK to Seattle, USA.

Your adventure begins in the heart of Seattle, where mountain views meet waterfront charm. Stay at the iconic Edgewater Hotel, perched right over Elliott Bay, and soak in the city’s vibrant culture. Wander through Pike Place Market to watch fishmongers in action, sip coffee where Starbucks was born, and admire panoramic cityscapes from the Space Needle. Set sail on a relaxed harbour cruise to see Seattle from the water—seals and sea planes included. As evening falls, indulge in fresh seafood and live music before turning in to the soothing sounds of the waves beneath your window.

Next stop, Portland—Oregon’s quirky heart and soul. At Hotel Lucia, creativity meets comfort, surrounded by the city’s best food carts, indie boutiques, and endless breweries. Dive into Portland’s lush natural beauty with a guided Columbia Gorge Waterfalls Tour, where misty trails lead to breathtaking cascades. Back in town, discover the city’s offbeat side: browse Powell’s City of Books, sip small-batch coffee, and feast on farm-to-table fare. Whether you’re cycling the riverside or tasting your way through the local scene, Portland proves that weird is wonderfully good.

Trade city buzz for ocean breeze as you arrive at Gleneden Beach on Oregon’s spectacular coast. Your stay at WorldMark Gleneden brings waves, whales, and wide-open skies right to your doorstep. Explore tide pools, stroll the golden sands, or visit nearby Depoe Bay—famous for its resident grey whales. Don’t miss a drive along the scenic coast to discover windswept cliffs and lighthouses that could have stepped straight out of a postcard. Evenings here are for sunsets, beach bonfires, and the soothing rhythm of the Pacific.

Continue south to the charming riverside town of Florence, where sand dunes meet sea spray. Your cosy stay at Pier Point Inn offers front-row views of the Siuslaw River and easy access to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Climb aboard a dune buggy for a thrilling ride through rolling sandscapes, or simply wander through the Old Town’s quaint shops and seafood cafés. With its blend of adventure and small-town charm, Florence is where the coast shows off its wild side.

Follow the Rogue River inland to Grants Pass, a gateway to Oregon’s natural wonders. The Lodge at Riverside offers rustic comfort with a touch of elegance, perfect for recharging after a day of outdoor adventure. Go white-water rafting or take a gentle jet boat cruise through the scenic Rogue River Canyon—bald eagles and otters are often spotted en route. Stroll through historic downtown, brimming with antique stores, local art, and laid-back charm. This is Oregon at its most authentic—relaxed, rugged, and real.

Cross into California and find yourself among giants—literally. From your base in Eureka, explore the legendary Redwoods National Park, home to the tallest trees on Earth. Wander shaded trails where sunlight filters through ancient canopies, or drive the Avenue of the Giants for jaw-dropping views at every turn. After a day in nature’s cathedral, unwind in the hotel’s tropical-themed courtyard spa and reflect on just how small (and lucky) you feel.

Slow things down on the dramatic Sonoma Coast, where rugged cliffs meet refined indulgence. Timber Cove Resort is a mid-century gem perched above the Pacific, blending retro cool with natural serenity. Stroll along wildflower trails, watch pelicans glide over crashing waves, and sip local pinot noir as the sun sinks into the ocean. Nearby, explore charming coastal villages or detour inland for a taste of Sonoma’s famed vineyards. This is California coastal living at its most poetic.

Your grand finale awaits in the City by the Bay. Stay steps from the waterfront at Hotel Caza in lively Fisherman’s Wharf, where clam chowder, cable cars, and sea lions set the scene. Explore Golden Gate Park, ride across the iconic bridge, and dive into the city’s cultural mix of art, music, and cuisine. Then, set sail on a sunset cruise across San Francisco Bay as the skyline glows and Alcatraz fades into twilight. It’s the perfect farewell to your Pacific Northwest odyssey—equal parts adventure, charm, and California sparkle.
