We take a look at America & Canada Motorhome Tours and 6 of their trip-of-a-liftime tours.
While we all love to see Australia through the windscreen of our RVs, what about other countries? Outside of the Land Down Under, North America stands as the ultimate hub for RV trips, with expansive open roads, a myriad of natural wonders and attractions, and well-appointed motorhomes and RV parks for the ultimate in comfort.
There are plenty of ways to tackle a motorhome trip through North America. But undoubtedly, the easiest way is to go with America & Canada Motorhome Tours (ACMT), an Aussie company who’ve been planning and conducting tours for 20 years. They know the best RV parks, attractions and suppliers for a safe and hassle-free experience.
Although there is a dedicated tour leader, this is not a ‘follow the leader’ type tour. This means you can hit the road at your leisure and catch up with the tour leader and others for happy hour. Want to sleep in? Or savour your coffee just that little bit longer? Maybe stop for lunch beside that amazing stream with mountain views? Yep, you can do all of that.
Check out these six motorhome tours from ACMT that cover iconic landmarks, breathtaking natural marvels, and off-the-beaten-path destinations.
Alaska Highway Tour Southbound: Anchorage to Seattle
This trip of a lifetime kicks off with a seven-night cruise from Vancouver to Anchorage. After the cruise, your route traverses the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, down to Whitehorse, then onto the Cassiar Highway en route to Banff before heading across to Seattle. Enjoy Yellowstone National Park and a range of other optional activities such as a tour of the Boeing Aircraft Factory, scenic flights over Prince William Sound, fly fishing, and/or bear watching in Anchorage.
Alaska Highway: Seattle to Anchorage
This original Alaska Highway Tour boasts an updated itinerary that includes a passage through the Western Rockies via the Cassiar Highway, joining the Alaska Highway at Watson Lake. Captivating travellers for over a dozen years, this flagship tour offers a plethora of optional activities.
New York to Eastern Canada Motorhome Tour
This trip is meticulously timed for the spectacular autumn hues that grace the New England states and Eastern Canada. Commencing with three nights in the heart of New York City, the route meanders through New England’s rugged yet beautiful coastline before crossing over to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. From there, the journey proceeds through Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto and down to Niagara Falls before finishing in New York. The Alaska Highway Motorhome Tour promises thirty-four days of adventure, excitement and awe-inspiring scenery.
Nashville to The Caribbean Motorhome Tour
Although dubbed the “Music Tour”, this journey from Nashville to the Caribbean is so much more than that. Delve into the rich tapestry of six of the Dixie Confederate States, where steeped in country, rhythm and blues, rock’n’roll and jazz, you’ll visit three of the world’s greatest music cities: Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans. The Adventure only gets better with a seven-night Caribbean cruise, Disneyland, the Kennedy Space Center and, of course, those magical Key West sunsets.
New York to Route 66 Motorhome Tour
Starting with three nights in the vibrant tapestry of New York City, then three nights at Niagara Falls, we then start the road trip in earnest. This route navigates through the legendary American Badlands along Route 66. Cities like St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Amarillo and Albuquerque mark the path, as well as awe-inspiring destinations like Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. A three-night interlude in Las Vegas precedes the final stop at Anaheim, CA, where you can tick the enchanting Disneyland Resort off your bucket list. With a thoughtfully paced journey, this route promises plenty of sightseeing.
Grand Tour Motorhome Tour: Canada to Alaska
The pièce de résistance of motorhome tours, this 64-day grand tour unfurls across the western expanse of Canada and Alaska.
