TrekAmerica launches new Xtra Adventures
TrekAmerica is launching two of its most adrenalin-filled tours for summer 2010.
The new Xtra Adventures, based in Canada and New England, include a larger range of adventure activities in the price, enabling thrill-seeking travellers to budget more easily ahead of their trip. Extreme zip-lining and a zodiac whale watching excursion are amongst the activities included in Canada, whilst trekkers will enjoy an overnight wilderness canoe trip and rock climbing on the New England itinerary.
"Outdoor activities are central to any TrekAmerica tour, with clients able to pay locally for those optional activities they wish to participate in, to suit their individual budgets and desired level of adventure" comments TrekAmerica sales director Richard Hanson. "Xtra Adventures are for all those adrenalin junkies out there who want to push the adventure level through the roof, ensuring every day is action packed."
The new trips were introduced following the success of TrekAmerica's first Xtra Adventure, the Canyon Adventure, based in the south-western USA.
All three action-packed Xtra Adventures are 10 days long. -
Canadian Adventure
Departing from Seattle, travellers head to the adrenalin capital of Canada - Whistler - and kick off the trip with a zip-line tour through the trees. Next stop is Vancouver Island for some of the best cave exploration in British Columbia before a whale watching zodiac boat cruise around Clayoquot Sound in search of grey whales, sea lions, seals, porpoise and possibly even killer whales.
Victoria is one of the prettiest cities in Western Canada, founded in 1843 as a Hudson Bay Company trading post and the perfect place to spend a day discovering the history, culture and shopping.
Canadian Adventure has its first departure on 5th July 2010 with prices from £689 per person excluding flights. The price includes the services of a TrekAmerica tour leader, transport, five nights camping fees and equipment, extreme zip lining in Whistler, ultimate caving tour in Vancouver, whale watching zodiac boat tour, sightseeing in Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle and entrance to the Pacific Rim National Park.
