Some of the best travel experiences happen between the places you planned to visit.
A self-drive or motorhome holiday gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, follow spectacular roads, discover smaller towns and landscapes, and turn the journey itself into part of the adventure.
Perhaps you want to travel by motorhome or campervan, or prefer the comfort of a hire car with carefully chosen hotels and lodges waiting for you each evening.
At Mapping Your Travel, we can build the whole journey around you, arranging your flights, vehicle hire, accommodation and carefully planned route, as well as additional tours and experiences along the way.
Motorhome & Campervan Adventures - Your Holiday on Four Wheels
Wake up somewhere different, take breakfast surrounded by incredible scenery and move on whenever you're ready.
A motorhome or campervan holiday gives you enormous freedom while still allowing you to have a carefully planned route behind the adventure. From compact vehicles to larger motorhomes, we will arrange the vehicle and plan a route around the places you would like to experience!
Self-Drive & Hotels - Freedom With a Comfortable Bed
A road trip doesn't have to mean sleeping in a motorhome.
Hire a car and travel between hotels, lodges, cabins and other carefully chosen accommodation, giving you the freedom of a self-drive adventure with somewhere comfortable waiting at the end of each day.
Travel across the North Island, discovering geothermal landscapes, Maori culture, beaches and volcanic scenery, before crossing by ferry to the South Island for mountains, lakes, glaciers and extraordinary coastal roads.
Explore by motorhome or hire car, stopping for several nights where you want more time rather than racing from one highlight to another.
A New Zealand road trip could take you from Auckland through Rotorua and the central North Island, before crossing the Cook Strait and continuing into the landscapes of the South Island.
We can plan the route around how long you have and what interests you, incorporating walks, wildlife, wine regions, scenic journeys and additional experiences along the way.
You don't necessarily have to drive every part either - rail, ferries and other experiences can be incorporated into the wider itinerary.
Australia - Great Ocean Road & South Australia
Australia's huge landscapes make driving part of the experience.
Take on the spectacular Great Ocean Road, continue through Victoria and into South Australia, or create a much longer road trip combining cities, coast, wine regions and wildlife.
Start in Melbourne before heading along the Great Ocean Road, stopping to explore coastal towns, beaches and dramatic scenery.
Continue towards South Australia and you could incorporate Adelaide, wine regions, wildlife experiences and Kangaroo Island, depending on the time you have available.
We can arrange your flights, vehicle hire and accommodation and help turn the different destinations into one logical route.
Few places deliver a backdrop for a road trip quite like western Canada.
Drive through the Canadian Rockies, surrounded by mountains, forests and turquoise lakes, with time to explore places such as Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper.
A Canadian road trip can be much more than simply driving between Banff and Jasper.
Build in time for hiking, wildlife experiences, mountain towns and longer stays in places you want to explore, rather than changing hotel every night.
You could also combine your road trip with a Rocky Mountaineer or VIA Rail journey, an Alaska cruise or additional time in Vancouver.
USA - The Great American Road Trip
Few holidays are as synonymous with the open road as an American road trip.
Follow sections of legendary Route 66, explore the national parks of the American West or combine famous cities with smaller towns and landscapes you might never experience on a conventional holiday.
Best for: Road trips • National parks • Americana • Families • Couples
A Route 66 adventure can take you through a completely different side of the USA, but it's only one possibility.
Perhaps you'd rather explore California and the Pacific Coast, Utah and Arizona's national parks, New England or the landscapes of the Rockies.
We'll help create a realistic itinerary around the time you have, with your flights, car hire, accommodation and experiences arranged around the route.
You don't always need to fly across the world for an extraordinary road trip.
Explore the Scottish Highlands, dramatic coastlines, lochs and remote communities by car, campervan or motorhome. Scotland offers some spectacular driving routes, including the famous North Coast 500, alongside countless opportunities to leave the main route and explore more slowly.
Best for: Shorter adventures • Scenery • Hiking • Motorhomes • UK travel
Your Road Trip Doesn't Have to Be Just a Road Trip
Drive for part of your holiday and experience the rest another way.
You could road trip through the Canadian Rockies before joining an Alaska cruise, explore Australia by car before boarding The Ghan, or combine a New Zealand motorhome adventure with a few days relaxing in the South Pacific.
We can combine self-drive, rail, cruises, touring, flights and additional stays to create a much bigger tailor-made adventure.
A great road trip needs freedom, but it also needs some planning.
We'll help create a route that considers realistic driving distances, where it's worth staying longer, the experiences you don't want to miss and how each part of your journey connects.
We can arrange your international flights, car or motorhome hire, accommodation and selected experiences, giving you the reassurance of having the important elements organised while still leaving you the freedom to explore.
