The Western Sun Adventure is our most popular tour. This is a fast paced tour that packs in the very most, but still allows enough time for you to really enjoy your vacation. We have vans departing San Francisco and Los Angeles each week on Saturdays. If you want to see and do as much as you can in one week, visiting the most famous cities and National Parks in the West, this tour is for you! Our guides are experts at packing as much fun as possible into 1 week of pure APA Awesomeness. $967 usd (your flights are not included, but all accommodation, and many of your meals are!)
~6 person minimum per departure
This tour includes all the necessary camping equipment: tents, sleeping pads, lamps, coolers, cookware, etc…is provided!
*All your camp meals are included!!*
Every Summer we will have tour vans departing San Francisco AND Los Angeles each week on Saturday’s. A tour gets GUARANTEED with 6-8 people. Once one van sells out, we will open up a new van if we can. All vans are part of the same tour. They will stay at the same camp/hotel/hostel spots most nights. During the day they might not always be driving together or always be doing the same things because each van group is unique. Your tour guide’s job is to make the most out of each day for your group (your van)…and every group is different. Sometimes that means all vans are sticking together, but it can also mean they don’t see each other all day until they arrive at camp.
What is the difference between the two directions? Really not much…just where we stay on the last night of the tour. San Francisco vs Santa Monica, LA! All the other nights are the same.
