Full Itinerary

March 24-30, 2024

Venture into the wilds of California, one of the few corners of our planet where you can visit desert and coast, forests and farmland, rivers and mountains, and an island boasting 12 species found nowhere else on Earth—all in one trip. This journey represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore unique natural landscapes throughout the state’s Central Valley and along the coast that most visitors never see. Traveling in the company of  TNC scientists and conservation partners, you won’t just visit these amazing places—you’ll also learn how you are helping save them.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Travel off the beaten path to catch a glimpse of the poppies, lupines and other wildflowers that blanket California’s hillsides after winter rains.
  • Take in picture-perfect views of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes and spring bird migration from the boardwalks at Oso Flaco Lake.
  • Explore the high peaks, deep canyons and pristine coastline of Santa Cruz island and learn about groundbreaking conservation on this largest of California’s Channel Islands.
