It's your personal adventure through the most impressive landscapes of the USA. With a Harley beneath you and the wind in your face, you'll experience pure freedom, accompanied by breathtaking views, exciting stops, and plenty of riding fun.

Day 1 – Flight to Las Vegas
Your trip begins with a flight to Las Vegas—the city that never sleeps. Upon arrival, you'll arrange your transfer to a centrally located hotel. The evening is yours to spend as you wish. Be enchanted by the lights of the Las Vegas Strip or embark on a casino adventure right away.

Day 2 – Las Vegas & first exit
You'll use the morning to explore Las Vegas. Whether a visit to the Stratosphere Tower with its magnificent view or a stroll through the famous hotels – the city has a lot to offer. In the afternoon, things finally get started: You'll meet your guide, pick up your Harley from our rental partner, and receive an introduction. Together, you'll take your first ride, including a visit to one of the largest Harley-Davidson® dealerships in the USA. In the evening, you'll get to know each other better over a shared meal.

Day 3 – Through Death Valley
Today you'll drive through the fascinating and inhospitable landscape of Death Valley—a place of extremes. Endless sand dunes, heat, and impressive expanses make this day an unforgettable experience. Depending on the weather, you'll reach either Mammoth Lake or Ridgecrest in the evening.

Day 4 – Mono Lake, Yosemite National Park & Giant Sequoias
In the morning, you'll visit Mono Lake with its bizarre tuff columns before crossing the spectacular Tioga Pass (3,031 m) into Yosemite National Park. You'll discover impressive waterfalls, granite rock landscapes, and take a hike through Mariposa Grove, home to the impressive giant sequoias. You'll spend the night near the park.

Day 5 – Highway 49 & Arrival in San Francisco
Today, historic Highway 49 awaits you, leading through winding roads and beautiful hilly landscapes. Along the way, you'll stop at Knights Bridge, a charming covered wooden bridge, and enjoy lunch at a classic 1950s diner. In the afternoon, you'll reach San Francisco, where you'll spend the next two nights near Fisherman's Wharf.

Day 6 – Discover San Francisco
This day is all yours. Explore the city with your guide or on your own: Chinatown, the famous cable car, Union Square, or a boat ride on San Francisco Bay—including views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. A tip: A city tour on a double-decker bus is a relaxing way to experience the highlights. We recommend a seaplane flight over the Golden Gate Bridge. 

Day 7 – Highway 1: Monterey, Big Sur & San Simeon
With a final glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge, you'll head south on legendary Highway 1. You'll visit Monterey, famous for John Steinbeck's "Canned Food Road," and stop at spectacular viewpoints like the Bixby Bridge and Big Sur. A highlight is a visit to the elephant seal colony near San Simeon, where you'll also spend the night.

Day 8 – From Pismo Beach to Malibu
The day begins at Pismo Beach, known for its long sandy beaches and surfer vibes. Then, you'll travel through California's fertile farmland to Solvang, a small town with a Scandinavian influence. In the afternoon, you'll ride along the coast again, past Santa Barbara and the famous Malibu Beach, before arriving in Los Angeles. There, you'll drop off your Harley and celebrate the final evening of the tour with a dinner together.

Day 9 – Los Angeles & Return Home
On your final day, you'll have the opportunity to explore LA on a city tour. Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood await you. Afterwards, a shuttle will take you to the airport, where you'll return home, full of memories of this incredible trip.
