ATLANTIC DREAM(Trip #60251)

Tour Overview

Cram a huge helping of the East into two fantastic weeks. From swarms of NYC cabs to swathes of mountain forest, white-knuckle theme park rides to white-sand lounging, from soulful Deep South blues to Miami's feisty salsa beats, the sights and sounds are near endless.

An Eastern delight...from the bustling excitement of the big cities to the fun and sun of Florida's beaches. Experience the variety of New Orleans - Bourbon Street, Cajun food and all that jazz! This adventure travels a land rich in scenery, culture, fantasy and invention.

For over 35 years, TrekAmerica has been tempting travellers away from the "package" tour approach and into the world of young, fun and exciting small group adventures for 18-38 year olds. Over the years, we have brought together a hearty group of international explorers who have criss-crossed the continent over 10,000 times. This is the world of TrekAmerica - the specialists in "off the beaten path" adventures across the Americas. So why not challenge yourself...not your budget.
