The Ultimate Coastal Rail Journey

Tour Overview

Embark on the ultimate West Coast adventure on this Fly-and-Rail Tour, journeying from Seattle to San Francisco via Portland and Sacramento.

Travel onboard Amtrak's iconic Coast Starlight train, renowned for its stunning panoramas of the Pacific coastline, towering forests, and rugged mountain ranges.
From the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest to the golden hills of California, this journey spans three breathtaking states –Washington, Oregon and California.
Explore Seattle’s vibrant Pike Place Market, Portland’s charming neighbourhoods, and Sacramento’s historic Old Town before arriving in the city by the Bay, San Francisco.
Enhance your trip with a rental car to discover heritage railroads, including Roaring Camp’s Redwood Forest Steam Train and the Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific Railway. Cap off your adventure with a luxurious ride aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, savouring world-class wines amidst picturesque vineyard views.
This tour offers a seamless blend of scenic train travel, cultural exploration, and indulgent experiences—a journey to cherish for a lifetime.

Allow plenty of time to explore Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and San Francisco,
Take an elevator to the top of the Space Needle for superb views of Seattle and surrounding coastline.
Journey on Amtrak’s Coast Starlight in either a Roomette or consider an upgrade to a Bedroom.
Why not include a day out at the California State Railroad Museum, visit on a weekend when excursion trains are running.
We recommend purchasing public transport passes in San Francisco to give unlimited travel on buses, metro and cable cars to enable you to get the most out of your free time.
Why not include a visit to Alcatraz, pre-booking is strongly recommended.
Consider hiring a car to enable you to visit Roaring Camp where you can ride two railroads, the Redwood Forest Steam Train and the Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific Railway.
No visit to California is complete without an evening dining experience on the Napa Valley Wine Train in an antique Pullman railcar.
