Vacation Experiences LIKE NO OTHER!

WE SAW A HERD OF ELEPHANTS IN KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

THE DUNE BUGGY

RIDES WERE MY

FAVORITE PART

OF THE VACATION

ADRENALIN-PUMPING ADVENTURESTrafalgar knows how to make traveling exciting and fun. Your Family Experiences guided vacation offers a range of action-packed adventures such as flying along ziplines high above the jungle in Costa Rica, dune buggy rides and sand boarding in the middle of the Peruvian desert or an airboat ride through the Everglades in Florida.

FUN LEARNING EXPERIENCESAlong the way, we provide insightful and educational experiences that will stimulate the minds of kids and adults alike. You could feel the history of the American Civil War on a visit to the Gettysburg battlefield, explore life as a Roman soldier at the Roman Army Museum and Roman Vindolanda or learn about the stars and planets at the Sacred Valley observatory in Peru.

Don't just see the sights - experience them! With exciting activities that will appeal to all ages, a Trafalgar vacation is fun for the whole family. Our expert local knowledge helps you get an in-depth understanding of the local culture of each destination you visit, and with VIP entry to many major attractions there's no waiting around.

INSIDER EXPERIENCES

Our exclusive Insider Experiences are an opportunity to get an insight into a destination by hands-on learning and interacting with locals.

• Hidden Treasures are surprise sights and experiences revealed by your Travel Director, away from the usual tourist path. You’d never guess there is a piece of the original Berlin Wall in the middle of South Dakota but our Travel Directors will tell you why.

• Unique Insights are experiences of unique cultural significance to a particular area such as learning about life as a Gladiator in Rome or meeting a real life Navy sailor on board the ‘Mighty Mo’ in Hawaii.

• Local Specialties are interactive activities or insights into local life through the traditional crafts and products specific to a region. You could give Flamenco dancing a try in Spain or taste the exotic ‘heart of palm’ in Costa Rica.

• Local Experts are interpretive guides, historians and other experts with specialized knowledge of the places you visit. In the Grand Canyon, a geologist talks you through the formation of this natural wonder. While in Hawaii, an ocean naturalist gives insights into the island’s marine life.

I WISH GLADIATOR SCHOOL

WAS MY REAL SCHOOL

THE PIZZA THAT I MADE WAS REALLY YUMMY

KIDS COOKING CLASSESOn selected itineraries, kids can explore local flavors by learning how to make local specialty foods and tasting them. Whether it’s making an authentic Spanish paella for dinner in Valencia or getting tips on the perfect Italian pizza from an expert chef in Rome, these tactile, hands-on experiences are a great fun way for kids to try something new.

EXCITING OPTIONAL EXPERIENCESBecause we know all families are different, we offer a fantastic range of Optional Experiences that allow you to customize your vacation. Whatever your family’s interests, we can help you get the most out of your vacation. To find out more about the Optional Experiences you could enjoy on your Trafalgar guided vacation speak to your Travel Director or visit the itinerary pages at www.trafalgar.com

It’s the stories behind each destination that allow you to truly get a feel for the places you visit, and nobody tells them better than our expert Travel Directors. Like JP (above), all of our Travel Directors are passionate about family vacations and are your friend in every destination who:

• Share their in-depth knowledge of the fascinating places and cultures you encounter. Their years of experience mean they can bring a destination to life, with engaging stories and intriguing facts that entertain both kids and adults.

• Introduce you to the locals who give a destination character. Over the years our Travel Directors build up lasting friendships in the places they visit and meeting them makes you feel closer to the essence of a country or town.

• Ensure the whole family has the best experience possible. Your Travel Director loves interacting with people of all ages and is happy to help with any questions you may have along the way.

• Take care of the details each day so you are free to sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation. Without having to worry about transport, luggage and organizing activities, you’ll have more quality time together as a family.

Taste the cultureA destination becomes more than just a place when you discover the food. That’s why with Trafalgar you’ll enjoy a true taste of the local culture through delicious family-friendly meals that perfectly complement your trip.

An Insider Experience Our exclusive Be My Guest dining experiences give you a unique opportunity to savor amazing regional food prepared by local families as they welcome you into their homes, working farms and estates. You could enjoy the hospitality of Dr. Diez Canseco in Lima, Peru as he shows you around his family’s beautiful estate and invites you to a delicious lunch of local specialties, or learn all about sustainable farming at an organic farm on Maui before enjoying a homemade lunch of fresh produce.

COOKING WITH ALL THE

OTHER KIDS

Savor delicious meals for all tastes

MORE DINING EXPERIENCESSome of the additional highlights you could enjoy on your guided vacation are:

• A Kick-off Party where you get to unwind and meet your Travel Director and travel companions over a drink and a light meal.

• Daily buffet breakfast including favorites such as eggs, bacon and sausage as well as cereals, pastries and fruit so everyone in the family can choose what they like.

• Selected lunches and dinners that often feature the local flavors of the area.

• Regional Meals where you’ll dine on regional cuisine at venues typical of the local area.

• Kids Cooking Classes that allow kids to taste and explore local flavors and specialty dishes with the help of experienced cooks. Read more about kids cooking classes on page 7.

EXPLORE THE DINING SCENEWe believe the best way to dine during your vacation is with the locals, which is why we’ve intentionally left some meals open for you to explore the local dining scene for yourself. Your Travel Director is always on-hand to give you suggestions on the best local restaurants, or take a chance to discover your own favorite.

White sandy beaches, volcanoes, misty forests and coral reefs provide the setting for your journey to the tropics, while a trip to Pearl Harbor adds incredible history.

It’s insider moments like… foraging for fresh produce at O’o Farm, on the slopes of Haleakala, and making brick-oven pizza with chef JJ, as he prepares lunch with your hand-picked ingredients. It’s finding out which family member makes the best chocolate bar from scratch, milking a goat, making traditional lei and learning to hula. And discovering Hawaii’s undersea world with our expert oceanographer, then joining a Navy sailor at Pearl Harbor for a guided exploration of the USS Missouri battleship, often called ‘Mighty Mo’.

Aloha Hawaii

Day 1 | Arrive Oahu, Honolulu | Waikiki (3 Nights)Aloha and welcome to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands! In the traditional Aloha spirit, you are greeted at the airport with a flower lei and your complimentary transfer will whisk you to your spectacular beachfront hotel. After checking in, get settled into Hawaiian Time with a quick dip in the resort pool. At 6 p.m., gather the family and hit the sand for a Kick-off Party with pupus and drinks on the beach and meet your Travel Director and fellow adventurers. (KP) Hotel: Hyatt Waikiki Beach

Day 2 | Honolulu SightseeingYour Aloha adventure begins in Downtown Honolulu, home to several historic structures, including Iolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil; a 162-year-old church built from coral blocks; and the historic Aloha Tower. Next, meet chocolate flavormeisters for a fun, hands-on, bean-to-bar A Local Specialty experience. Learn how cacao is grown and processed from pods full of cacao beans, which then get roasted, cracked, crushed, ground, conched, tempered and poured into bar molds. Even make your own delicious chocolate bar from scratch and take home a bar of handmade chocolate! This afternoon, visit the Pearl Harbor USS Arizona Memorial dedicated to the infamous naval attack that led to the U.S.’s involvement in World War II. Take a boat ride out to the memorial, built over the submerged battleship USS Arizona, and see the engraved names of the heroes who perished on that fateful day. Peer down at the remains of the sunken ship from which oil still seeps after more than 70 years. Later, enjoy a A Unique Insight into life on a battleship. Join an insider on an exclusive visit aboard the ‘Mighty Mo’—the USS Missouri—the star of the blockbuster movie

‘Battleship.’ This evening, join your fellow explorers for a splashin’ good time during a Regional Meal at a local restaurant where you enjoy dinner facing an incredible three-story, 280 gallon (1,060-litre) saltwater fish tank, home to hundreds of tropical fish! (FB RM)

Day 3 | Honolulu Free TimeThe entire day is yours and the choices are endless! Perhaps attend a ukulele-playing demonstration or spend some time on the beach lazing in the warm Hawaiian sun. Take an optional snorkeling excursion to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve and spot sea turtles, colorful coral and dazzling tropical fish. Explore Waikiki, packed with shops and restaurants and the Ala Moana Shopping Center, a collection of over 90 shops, boutiques and a diverse, international selection of eateries. (FB)

Day 4 | Honolulu | Maui (3 Nights)Soar high above the Pacific as you fly to Maui, the Magic Isle, home to endless white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and luxuriant tropical foliage. A truly unique island experience begins in the misting forest of Waipoli in upcountry Maui. Here, meet your host for an exclusive farm-to-fork A Be My Guest lunch as you are taken on a visit through this diversified natural farm, on the slopes of Haleakala with panoramic bicoastal views of the island. Learn about the various crops while partaking in their harvesting. Enjoy a gourmet al fresco lunch as you watch the fresh products you just harvested be prepared right in front of you by the chef. Kids can help make their own pizza, rolling the dough, adding their toppings and then eating their savory creation fresh off the pizza oven! This afternoon, visit a working dairy farm and meet working dairy goats, herder dogs and “Charlie,” the owners’ potbelly pig.

IT'S ICONIC PLACESCity Tour in Honolulu. Visit Pearl Harbor’s USS Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri Memorial, Lahaina, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the Jaggar Museum.

Then head for the historic whaling village of Lahaina, which once played host to as many as 1,500 sailors on leave, including famous Moby Dick author, Herman Melville. Enjoy a cone of colorful flavored Shave Ice, a Hawaiian A Local Specialty, before returning back to the hotel where the rest of the afternoon is free to relax. This evening, get a real taste of the islands at a special Hawaiian Luau Regional Meal dinner where, through the sounds of the conch, the beating of the drums, and the echoes of the Hawaiian chant, you journey through the story of the islands of Polynesia.

Stetsons, saddles and spectacular Mount Rushmore - this Wild West family adventure takes in the frontier town of Jackson, the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park.

It’s insider moments like… the rush you get when thousands of gallons of water gush from Old Faithful; discover why this world-famous geyser exists at Yellowstone National Park with our naturalist guide. As your family sit under the stars by the campfire at a working ranch it’s imagining real cowboys in action the next night, at the Cody Night Rodeo, where bronco riding and team roping give you a real taste of Wyoming. And gasping at the sight of the epic Crazy Horse memorial, carved from the sacred land of Thunderhead Mountain.

Wild West, Cowboys & Buffalos

Day 1 | Arrive Salt Lake CityWelcome to Salt Lake City! Arrive at your hotel and enjoy some time on your own this afternoon to relax or venture out to see some of the main attractions.

Passing through the town’s famous landmark arch of tangled elk antlers, walk back into history as you explore the Town Square with its Western boardwalks, craft boutiques and ice cream shops—all surrounded

by the majestic Rockies. Come nightfall, enjoy a Western-style Chuckwagon dinner and show. (FB L D) Hotel: Rustic Inn Creekside Resort & Spa

Day 3 | Jackson | Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks (2 Nights)Rise early if you’d like to rollick down the Snake River on an optional fun and educational wilderness float trip. Later, discover dramatic Grand Teton National Park and beautiful Jenny Lake, and journey on into the world’s first National Park, spectacular Yellowstone. This is truly a wonderland of over 10,000 geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, mud pots and steam vents, highlighted with a visit to Old Faithful, which has been spouting steam water regularly for thousands of years. At the Visitor Center, learn amazing facts about Yellowstone—kids can even earn their Junior Ranger Badge.

Day 4 | Yellowstone National Park SightseeingDiscover Yellowstone’s most amazing natural wonders, including the thundering Yellowstone Falls, a multitude of hot gushing geysers and countless brilliantly-colored simmering thermal springs, bubbling mud pools and hissing steam vents. Your senses will be assaulted by the roar of steam, the thunder of a waterfall, the bellowing of bison and awe-inspiring views at every turn—sights and sounds that make for an experience you’ll be talking about for years. (FB)

Day 5 | Yellowstone National Park | CodyTravel down, down, down into the Shoshone Canyon and the rugged Absaroka Mountains until you reach the rustic Wild West town of Cody, named after Buffalo Bill Cody. Explore the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and the world’s largest collection of Western artifacts. This evening, get out your Western get-up and head to a night rodeo. (FB) Hotel: Holiday Inn Cody

Day 6 | Cody | The Ranch at UcrossThis morning, enjoy stunning scenery as you cross the Bighorn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest. Get ready for a taste of the true Wild West and cowboy lifestyle as you arrive at the Ranch at Ucross in Clearmont, an Old-West working dude ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. After lunch, prepare to learn about life on the ranch. Watch the ranch-manager’s daughter saddle a horse and prep for a riding demonstration! Then it’s your turn to participate in the ranch fun with a hands-on dummy-cow branding demonstration. When the dinner bell calls all hands to chow, put on your finest cowboy duds and kick up your heels at a typical ranch-style dinner. End the evening under the stars ‘round a roaring fire with gooey s’mores and entertainment. (FB L D) Hotel: The Ranch at Ucross

Day 7 | Ranch at Ucross | Keystone (2 Nights)After a hearty breakfast, enjoy activities galore on the ranch—all included! Learn about life on a working ranch as you rub elbows with true wranglers. Saddle up for a horseback ride around the ranch lands. See how far you can cast that fishing line to catch brown or rainbow trout in Piney

Creek. Challenge your traveling mates to a game of tennis or horseshoes…with bragging rights for the rest of the trip at stake! Or simply relax poolside and take in the serenity of this wonderful resort. After an included lunch, head east through the national grassland to the city of Keystone. (FB L) Hotel: K - Bar - S Lodge

Day 8 | Keystone & Black Hills ExcursionThe first stop this morning is Bear Country USA, a wildlife park featuring the world’s largest private collection of American black bear. Enjoy a drive through this spectacular and unique wildlife park and then walk through the Wildlife Center, where young and smaller animals frolic in their outdoor exhibits. Next, head to the famous Black Hills of South Dakota. At Thunderhead Mountain, gaze in awe at the Crazy Horse Memorial. A work in progress being carved into the mountainside, the “world’s largest sculpture” honors the famous war chief of the Lakota people. Reach the quaint “City of Gold,” Keystone, once a gold mining boomtown. Next, see the presidents sculpted at Mount Rushmore. You have seen the pictures of Mount Rushmore, but they pale in comparison to seeing this majestic site in person. It took 400 artisans 14 years to carve the sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln into the mountain. This evening, join your fellow adventurers at a Farewell Dinner featuring an American Indian dancer. (CB FD)

Day 9 | Keystone | Fort Laramie | Depart DenverFollow the trail to old Fort Laramie, the best-known milepost on the Oregon Trail. At the fort’s living history exhibits, learn about the harsh world of the pioneer family as they fought distance, unforgiving terrain and weather to reach Oregon—and the native tribes who gave their lives trying to prevent it. Your Wild West adventure comes to an end at the Mile High city of Denver where stops are made at Denver International Airport or, if you’re extending your stay, at the Sheraton Downtown Denver Hotel. Please do not schedule any flights before 8 p.m. (CB)

Some of nature’s finest work is laid out for this experience: blazing red sandstone cliffs, pink sand dunes, towering orange hoodoos, and incredible natural arches.

It’s insider moments like… exploring the colorful alien landscape of the Arches National Park, and seeing how plants and animals have adapted to the Colorado Plateau with the help of our local naturalist, like the lichen that form a living crust on the desert floor. Following the footsteps of John Wayne and Rock Hudson to Red Cliffs Lodge, on our stay at this rustic working ranch, and sitting down to a Cowboy Cookout in awe-inspiring scenery, it’s easy to see why the lodge has been the star of the big screen so many times.

Rome’s savagery, Venice’s decadence and Florence’s romance – this family trip introduces the different characters of Italy, with three nights in three diverse cities.

It’s Insider moments like… feeling the heavy weight of the sword in your hand, as a Gladiator teaches you and your children age-old combat skills at Gladiator training school. And listening to the gruesome history of battles and bloodshed in ancient Rome, almost hearing the roar of the crowd as you and your family enter the ring. And it’s imagining the heat of the sun beating down on those who trained before you, as they battled for their lives against tigers, lions and the fearsome weapons of their fellow slaves.

The birthplace of civilization is your family’s jump-off point in Greece. But Athens’ history soon turns to relaxed time together as you set sail for island life on Mykonos and Santorini.

It’s Insider moments like… slicing through the turquoise waves together on a ‘kaiki’, a wooden fishing boat typical of the Cycladic islands. As you’re cruising over to the volcanic shores of Nea Kameni, this island that last experienced a major eruption in 1941 comes into view. Feeling like a family of explorers as you climb the rocky outcrops of this alien landscape, you later sink into its hot springs to swim in the healing milky-green waters.
