Adventure

Jet off on a long-haul flight to the USA for an unparalleled adventure. Las Vegas is a great choice if you’re seeking world-class experiences, such as helicopter rides over The Strip or ATV tours in the Mojave Desert. One high-octane activity not far from your glitzy Las Vegas hotel is SkyJump at STRAT Tower, where you launch yourself from the 108th floor, 855-feet-high. A similar nail-biting adventure activity is New York’s City Climb. Located at Edge NYC, thrill seekers can walk down this 1,200-feet-high skyscraper on the highest open-air building ascent in the world. For something a little more stable, opt for a scenic kayak tour on the Hudson River. Escape into nature in San Francisco with bicycle rides across the Golden Gate Bridge and coastal hikes along the Pacific Ocean. Speed off on an airboat ride through Orlando’s Everglades, where alligator spotting is top of the agenda.

Sports

Stay on-trend during your USA holiday with a fan voyage to watch your favourite sports teams. Expect huge stadiums filled with thousands of fans, lively music, impressive half-time performances, good food and tailgating (a pre-game party in the parking lot, where fans eat, drink and socialise). Football matches, especially the Superbowl, dominate many Americans’ social calendars. Coincide your USA getaway with the NFL schedule and watch the likes of the Las Vegas Raiders or the New York Giants in their home ground, MetLife Stadium. Baseball is a favourite sport of many New Yorkers and you can pick a side between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets like a local, or watch the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. If basketball is more your vibe, the New York Nicks call the iconic Madison Square Garden Home. There's also plenty of chances to take in ice hockey live too.
