Learn Secret Tips and Get a Taste of America the Beautiful on a Trafalgar Top-Selling Vacation
ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB) April 18, 2016 -- America’s National Parks, breezy Hawaiian islands and Canada’s big icons and natural beauty are top summer destinations featured for Trafalgar’s Buy One, Get One 30 Percent Off Second Guest United States and Canada Sale from April 18-24.* Over the last five years, Trafalgar has transformed guided vacations to showcase Insider Experiences – exclusive activities to give guests a richer understanding of local people, and to discover cultural traditions that only Trafalgar knows.
Experience a highly-rated insider moment on an exclusive Be My Guest evening at a Natchez, Mississippi historic home, built in the 1800s and featured on popular Home & Garden Television on Trafalgar’s Taste and Sounds of the South trip. Be charmed by true southern hospitality as the owner performs on his 1903 Steinway piano while guests enjoy a cocktail. Afterward, walk across the street to a 130-year-old private mansion to savor an elegant four-course dinner of local culinary comforts prepared by the owner, a former Four Seasons Hotel chef once named a Top 20 Female Chef in America by USA Today.
Leveraging 70 years of expertise to design the perfect itinerary, travelers immerse in a deeper experience in every destination enriched by knowledge only a local could share. Celebrate the centennial of the U.S. National Park Service with the Top Five Secret Tips on Trafalgar National Parks trips:
1. The unequaled view of the Grand Canyon is at sunrise, not sunset. There is never a disappointed face when taking in the astounding view with the birds chirping in the crisp morning air. A secret spot on a rocky alcove that guests have all to themselves near Mather Point is away from where most people crowd the rim of the Grand Canyon. This is one of the many off-the-beaten path hidden treasures on a Trafalgar vacation.
2. After rafting on Snake River and before traversing Grand Teton National Park, guests are guided to the Chapel of the Transfiguration, a small log structure built by national park members 100 years ago. Its popularity in guidebooks has everyone taking pictures from the front because it frames the Teton Range. Few know pictures taken from the back include an immaculate reflection of the stained glass windows, while still framing up Grand Teton beautifully for that one-of-a-kind vacation memory.
3. The opportune time to explore Yellowstone is an hour after sunrise. The majority of visitors miss out on this insider tip. Almost every guided tour and independent traveler departs their lodge between 8-10 a.m. Trafalgar guests, getting a head-start on the crowds, receive an exponential amount of benefits, seeing twice as much wildlife including grizzly bears and wolves. Plus, the steam from the thousands of thermal features appears tenfold during this special hour.
4. A hike in Arches National Park is better in the evening when the sun is coming down and it’s cooler. Guests are guided to Windows Arch and Turret Arch first for a perspective that is entirely different, as it is the best condensed amount of large arches in the park. The hike is moderate and comfortable for all fitness levels. Everyone else runs straight to Delicate Arch because it is the most recognized, so Trafalgar avoids the crowds and intense hike requiring higher skill level.
5. Trafalgar guests enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, a complex of five western museums. Access is provided to the museum archives for a private talk with the museum directors on topics ranging from life on a working ranch to a talk about raptors with live birds of prey giving guests a feel for what it means to live in the Cowboy State. While Wyoming is known for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, it also offers a wonderful glimpse into cowboy life.
Trafalgar guided vacations include all the essentials, from specially-selected four-star hotels, many local meals, VIP access to skip the long lines at major sights, and an expert professional Travel Director who provides concierge-style service the entire trip.
