  • Your Rich Experience & Traveling Off The Beaten Path

    Looking to escape? There are some lovely parts of the world not too far from the popular, overcrowded spots that everyone flocks to.


    In the Canadian Rockies, consider Waterton National Park – a lesser- known UNESCO World Heritage site south of Banff National Park alongside the U.S. border with great trails as and a navigable lake.


    Did you know there are ancient pyramids high above Mexico’s Oaxaca City? Monte Alban attracts far fewer visitors than Chichen Itza or Teotihuacan and predates both! Explore to your heart’s content.


    Or discover the many trails of the Lost Sierra, California on foot, on horseback, on a trail bike or an off- road motorcycle---- a 4- hour drive northeast of San Francisco will find you in spectacular wilderness.


    And for something completely different, explore the mountains of Utuado just a short drive from San Juan, Puerto Rico --- but a world apart! Explore indigenous history. Experience peace and quiet!


    Let’s find your perfect escape – but shhhhh, don’t tell anyone!

    Navigating a Relaxing, Stress-Free Getaway


    Going on holiday by yourself can feel daunting at first. However, with proper planning and preparation, you can have a fantastic solo adventure. Take the time to research your destination, make a list of must-see attractions, and don't forget to pack your sense of adventure! Remember, a solo trip can be an incredible opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. So, embrace the experience and create memories that will last a lifetime - and use this guide from Tyus Tours & Travel to help you get ready.


    Nailing Down Your Destination


    When planning your solo vacation, the first step is choosing a destination. Think about what type of vacation experience you are looking for; if you want to get away from it all, find a remote location with few distractions. If you’re looking for an adventure, pick somewhere with plenty of activities and attractions to explore. Once you have chosen your destination, research the area online to make sure it suits your needs and preferences. Don't forget to consider the local cuisine and cultural experiences that await you!


    Gather All Crucial Government and Travel Documents


    Once you know where you want to go, it’s time to make sure that all of your necessary government and travel documents are in order. This includes making sure that passports are up-to-date or obtaining visas if needed. Research the rules and regulations of the country or countries that you will be visiting as well as any immunizations required before traveling there. Make copies of all important documents and store them securely in multiple places just in case something should happen during your travels.


    Keeping Loved Ones in the Loop


    Before setting off on a solo trip, it’s important that family members and friends know where you will be staying while away so they can easily contact you if need be. Provide them with the full address of where you will be staying as well as contact details for both the hotel staff and local authorities should an emergency arise during your travels. Additionally, provide them with an itinerary of any planned excursions or activities during your stay so they can keep track of your whereabouts at all times.


    Best Practices for Hotel Safety


    When traveling alone, ensuring safety should always be your top priority. Therefore, it is crucial to incorporate preventive measures into your planning process before embarking on your trip. Take the time to research safety tips for hotels, such as never leaving valuables unattended in public areas, declining drinks from strangers, avoiding poorly lit alleys and using only reputable taxis or car services. Furthermore, consider booking hotels that offer additional safety features like deadbolt door locks and security cameras in common areas. By implementing these precautions, you can enhance both your safety and peace of mind during your solo travels.


    Effective Strategies for Meeting New People


    Meeting people while traveling solo is part of the fun! Take advantage of social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook – connect with locals who can provide tips about must-see sites/attractions or join groups dedicated to meeting fellow travelers who share similar interests as yourself! Do research into local meetups or events happening during your stay – these are great opportunities to meet new people while exploring a new city or town! And don't forget to embrace the spontaneous moments and be open to unexpected connections along the way!


    With proper preparation, solo vacations can be rewarding! Research safety tips and procedures for specific locations, keep family and friends updated on whereabouts, and make necessary contacts available back home. These steps ensure safe and memorable experiences for solo travelers, wherever their wanderlust takes them!

  • Alaska Comes First On The Last Frontier

    1/12/2024 3:18:05 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment


    The land of the Midnight Sun is overflowing with Royal Caribbean® adventure on both land sea in summer 2024. You'll be awed by up-close encounters with some of the planet's largest animals. Soak up epic wells of emotion among some of America's most dramatic snowcapped scenery. And reach a state of peak excitement on ships decked out in incredible thrills.



    Consider your Alaska bucket list conquered. Discovering a bounty of wildlife in the capital city of Juneau? Check. Traveling back in time to the era of The Gold Rush in Skagway? Done. From savoring fresh-caught local salmon in Ketchikan to kayaking with sea otters in Sitka and breathtaking views while sailing the Inside Passage. Or setting your eyes on the largest tidewater glacier in North America, Hubbard Glacier. Nothing is more gratifying than crossing all these once-in-a-lifetime experiences off your list and so many more on one unforgettable journey.



    Adventure begins the moment you step onboard. Go from taming the tide on the FlowRider® surf simulator to riding the wind on Ripcord® by iFly®. Then have the playtime of your life in SeaPlex® with bumper car bonding and roller-skating round-ups. And surround yourself with unrivaled 360-degree views from over 300 feet up on the North Star® or sightsee from more than three acres of exterior glass. All this and more awaits onboard four thrill-filled ships sailing the region - including two Quantum Class gamechangers, Quantum® and Ovation of the Seas®.



    You are not a tourist, and this is not a cruise. This is a once-in-a-lifetime journey by land and sea, one that goes deep into the wilderness and along the rugged glacial coast. A Royal Caribbean Cruisetour is the ultimate Alaska adventure, combining a 7-night sailing with a fully escorted, multi-day tour that takes you into the untamed heart of the Last Frontier.


    This is Last Frontier pioneering with the cruise line voted Best Overall by Travel Weekly readers for 21 years running.
