15 days California´s nature & coastline

On this 15-day California round trip, you will explore the west coast of the Golden State from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Experience the unique natural mix of wild national parks and glowing beaches and let yourself drift through the streets of the big cities.

The Napa Valley is not only known for its wines, but also for its cultural events, such as the Napa Valley Film Festival. Here you can enjoy films in the open air and experience the region’s exquisite wine culture at the same time.

Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the indigenous people of California – this experience is offered by the Yosemite Museum with the associated Indian Village of the Ahwahnee. In Monterey, known for the Monterey Jazz Festival, everything revolves around the world of music, while Santa Barbara impresses with its Spanish influences and the annual Old Spanish Days Fiesta.

Start your California tour in San Francisco with a visit to Golden Gate Park, one of the largest urban parks in the USA, which is home to numerous gardens and museums. A true natural paradise awaits you in Yosemite National Park with its majestic waterfalls, imposing granite cliffs and dense forests. Hikes to Yosemite Falls or Half Dome offer unforgettable views.

The coastline of Monterey and Santa Barbara is ideal for whale watching and relaxing walks along the beach. In Monterey, you should visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium to get to know the rich marine fauna.

Surfers and sun worshippers meet on the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu. Soak up the special atmosphere and the warm light. A different kind of nature experience awaits you at Mammoth Lakes. The impressive geological formations, such as the Devils Postpile National Monument, and the clear mountain lakes form the purest picture-book views during your nature tour through California.

California offers impressive culinary diversity, characterised by its multicultural population and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. In San Francisco, you will find an abundance of first-class restaurants offering everything from fresh seafood to Asian fusion dishes. A visit to the Ferry Building Marketplace is a must, where you can sample local specialities and artisan products.

Monterey and Santa Barbara are also known for their fresh fish and seafood. Try the famous clam chowder at Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey or fresh oysters at one of the many beach restaurants in Santa Barbara. Finally, Los Angeles offers an incredible variety of culinary experiences, from trendy food trucks to upscale restaurants serving international cuisine.

On hikes to the many mountain lakes and hot springs in the Mammoth Lakes region, you will get to know the natural landscapes particularly intensively. You should also not miss out on a ride on the Panorama Gondola. This offers you a breathtaking view of the Sierra Nevada.
