how we SAILING

From boats to planes, overland trucks to big comfy coaches, we’ll make sure the journey is just as fun as the adventure. Ready to make a move? Let’s go.

‘Seas’ the day (like what we did there?) on board our Topdeck vessels and get ready for a nautical adventure of epic proportions. Whether you're sailing on a yacht in Australia's Whitsunday Islands, cruising Croatia in a stylish motorised boat, felucca sailing on the Nile or kicking back in a traditional gulet in Turkey, you can expect some serious lounging sessions and postcardworthy sunsets. It’s a tough life…

TOPDECK COACH Consider our Topdeck coach your home away from home. With all the comforts you’ll need, including free Wi-Fi, power sockets/USB ports and reclining seats, you’ll hit the road and see all the sights from the best viewpoint ever.

TRAIN

BOAT

Check out breathtaking scenery by rail on a range of our trips. We’ve got the Trans-Mongolian Railway for starters – arguably the world’s greatest train journey (and soon to be your next major bucket list item). Next up: Japan’s Bullet Train. Get ready for 320km/h speeds as you dart through this awesome country. And to finish, all aboard in Thailand, China and Vietnam as you travel from A to B.

METRO PASS Get to the heart of a city as we take you underground with included Metro passes in Europe and the USA. A super convenient and efficient way to get around, you’ll be rubbing shoulders with the locals on their daily commute while en route to your next bucket list stop (just don’t forget your Metro map!).

FLIGHTS Some of our trips include flights to get you to your next destination as quick as a flash. We’ve got places to go and people to see – so sometimes it pays to wave bye-bye to the coach, rack up some air miles and skip to the good bits!

Hold on to your hats as you take to the water with your new amigos on several of our trips that include boat journeys. We’re talking speedboats in Thailand and Bali, long boats in Laos and junk boats in Halong Bay – and with all those amazing views whizzing by, you’ll have loads to keep you and your shipmates occupied until you reach your next grand destination.

OUR CREW

We had the most amazing experience on our California Calling trip. The food was incredible, the accommodation was awesome and our driver was the best. Such an incredible, unforgettable holiday. TRIP: California Calling, USA

With a thirst for adventure, an endless stream of knowledge and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, a keen eye for a hearty local meal, our dedicated Topdeck Crew make the best travel pals, ever.

I was very impressed with Topdeck. Our guides were very knowledgeable, professional and helpful for the entirety of the trip. TRIP: Sydney Discovery, AUSTRALIA

The tour guide was amazing. WOW! Blown away by his duty of care for the group and knowledge of Morocco. His assistant was also amazing - best trip I have done. TRIP: Moroccan Explorer, NORTH AFRICA

Our tour guide was fantastic, he really made the trip feel more like a bunch of old friends travelling and made it easy for everyone to get to know each other. He went out of his way each day to help us get the most out of things and I had a great time. TRIP: Winter Express, EUROPE

They got all their basics right, especially very helpful and genuinely warm guides. I'd definitely recommend Topdeck to all my friends. TRIP: Bali Island Hopper, ASIA

OUR CREW

DELICIOUS FOOD

delicious Some may bring home a tacky souvenir, others a picture-perfect postcard. But that epic feast you ate while on the trip of a lifetime? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a memory that will stay with you forever. Dig in!

DELICIOUS FOOD

INDULGE IN CAJUN CUISINE DEEP SOUTH, USA

DISCOVER BANGKOK'S STREET FOOD BY TUK TUK BANGKOK, THAILAND

Fact: the only thing more fun than eating Cajun food is pronouncing Cajun food. Gumbo? Yes, please. Jambalaya? Sign me up. Po’ Boy sandwich? We’ll take two. Aside from the funky fresh names, these dishes are packed full of spicy, aromatic flavours and can be found in kitchens across the Deep South.

Wander the streets of Bangkok and discover a treasure trove of authentic local foods. Tuck into satay: grilled meat on a bamboo stick which is served with a cucumber relish and peanut sauce. And that’s just the beginning!

TAJINE TEMPTATION MOROCCO, NORTH AFRICA Prepared in a conical clay pot over hot coal and served with a carafe of mint tea and lashings of Berber hospitality, this is a dish not to be missed. Expect lamb, chicken or seafood mixed with dates, apricots and cumin, slow-cooked to perfection and served on a heap of couscous. Yum. Anyone for seconds?

EXPLORE ITALY’S FINEST ITALY Get ready to live la dolce vita as you explore Italy – aka foodie heaven. The pizza, pasta and risotto here are the real deal. And for the sweet tooths, think tiramisu and endless varieties of ice cream. Gelato for breakfast, lunch and dinner? We won’t judge.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA

INCLUDED

GOURMET PICNIC BY THE EIFFEL TOWER

Forget your average garden pebble. This massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Red Centre draws visitors from all over the globe for good reason. Take in the sheer beauty of Uluru and its surrounds as you sip champagne at sunset and learn of its place in the Dreamtime culture.

Indulge your inner foodie as you join your fellow Topdeckers and Crew at an oh-so-Frenchy picnic in Paris. Spoiled with an abundance of Snapchatworthy platters, you’ll chow down on only the finest locally sourced produce whilst taking in the view of the most famous icon in the world (yeah, we’re looking at you, Eiffel Tower).

CAMP IN THE DESERT Who needs Wi-Fi anyway when you’re busy travelling across this Mars-like landscape on a camel? We’ve got a traditional welcome from the Berber locals including a delicious dinner once we get to our camp. In the evening, get cosy at your campsite for a night under the starry sky. Ten points to whoever spots the most shooting stars!

Mekong & Vietnamese Guesthouse

Hear the call of the wild as you explore one of the world’s most famed national parks. Home to over 12,000 elephants, 27,000 buffalo, 1,000 leopards and a host of other snap-worthy wildlife, you’re sure to fill a few memory cards. Plinth hat, optional.

VIETNAM, SOUTHEAST ASIA

GREATER KRUGER, AFRICA

Take on Vietnam in all its glory as you cruise down the Mekong Delta via the floating markets in Cai Be, before settling in for the night at a traditional Vietnamese Guesthouse. Continue to #livelikealocal with your host family and experience daily life in a fascinating and age-old culture.

SKYDIVE IN THE SWISS ALPS L AUTERBRUNNEN, SWITZERLAND OMG scenery awaits in the land of cheese and chocolate. With majestic waterfalls, sheer cliffs and rolling meadows to shout about, Lauterbrunnen has to be seen to be believed. For the fearless, a skydive over this unbelievable landscape will take your breath away. Literally. Ready to take the plunge?

CYCLE AROUND AMSTERDAM AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS Cycle in style and get your bearings with a guided bike ride of this buzzing city. Check off those bucket list must-sees on your valiant steed. Zipping through the city with your travel mates, you’ll be feeling like a local in no time.

JUMP ON A GRAND CANYON HELI-TOUR GRAND CANYON, USA Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it’s a Topdecker taking to the skies to view the stunning Grand Canyon from a helicopter. The sheer scale of this iconic location can only truly be appreciated from above, so sport that headset and listen to epic Jurassic Park-style soundtracks whilst you soar over the Canyon’s sweeping vistas.

RAISE THE BAR IN BANGKOK BANGKOK, THAILAND Raise a glass, kick back and unlock some #views from Bangkok’s best rooftop bars. With live music, delicious food and, of course, more drinks than you can shake a cocktail umbrella at, a night high up above buzzing Bangkok will be one for the books.

What are sectors?

SECTOR

Sector trips offer you a great way to choose a departure city, set of experiences or journey length that best suits you. A Sector trip is part of a larger journey, meaning your new friends might continue on after you leave, or you might be joining a trip already in progress.

DAY 1 CHRISTCHURCH TO FOX GLACIER. The Canterbury Plains make for epic scenery. Stop in Hokitika for whitebait fritters and pounamu (jade) pendant shopping. Try to grab a shot of NZ’s two tallest mountain peaks reflected in Lake Matheson. (D) DAY 2 FOX GLACIER TO QUEENSTOWN. Hit up NZ's most famous glacier. Strap on some crampons and get an up-close look on an ice walk or optional heli-hike. Then, journey past Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea and feel your pulse start to quicken as we roll into Queenstown. (B,D) DAY 3 QUEENSTOWN. Here's some basic math: Queenstown has over 220 activities. You have two days. No rush. This lakeside city will match any adventure you had in mind and then throw a Fergburger (amazing Queenstown burger place) in there for good measure. Get your adrenalin fix with bungy jumping, a narrow canyon swing, Shotover Jet, paragliding, hiking, horse riding and the skyline gondola. (B) DAY 4 QUEENSTOWN. If you're bored here, there's something wrong. Need some time out? Head to the Kiwi Birdlife Park, or kick back with a local pinot. (B) DAY 5 QUEENSTOWN INCLUDING MILFORD SOUND VISIT. Steady yourself for the otherworldly beauty of the fjords – we’ll be seeing them up close today with a Milford Sound cruise. This place comes complete with seals, dolphins and thundering waterfalls. (B) DAY 6 QUEENSTOWN TO LAKE OHAU. Zig-zag a gold-bearing river on a mountain bike ride through A+ scenery. Think: icy clear river and an 80m suspension bridge, all ending up at the site of the world’s first bungy. Will you jump? (B,D) DAY 7 LAKE OHAU TO CHRISTCHURCH VIA MT COOK VILLAGE. Round off the trip with an optional soak in a hot pool today – or take to the skies with a scenic flight for some stunning views of the Tekapo region. Then, it’s on to Christchurch to say our goodbyes. (B)

DAY 1 AUCKLAND TO BAY OF ISLANDS. James Cook named our first stop the ‘Bay of Islands’. Well, you know what to expect. Seeing all 144 islands might take a while, so grab the optional ‘Rock the Boat’ island tour. DAY 2 BAY OF ISLANDS. Ride down 80-100m dunes as many times as your legs can carry you back up (optional). What’s it going to be today? Opt in to grab a kayak and paddle under the Haruru Falls, cruise out to the Hole in the Rock or indulge in an optional spot of dolphin sailing. We’re having fish and chips for dinner so good thing you did all that exercise. (B,D) DAY 3 BAY OF ISLANDS TO AUCKLAND. Departing Bay of Islands, we’ll make two pit stops: first at the gorgeous Whangarei waterfalls, then at Mount Eden for a view of the city from the top of a volcano. (B) DAY 4 AUCKLAND TO ROTORUA (MARAE STAY). Pick up some new travel pals, then head to Waitomo Caves before hitting Rotorua. Tonight, Maori legends and mythology come alive as we bunker down at a traditional Marae stay. After learning the tongue-thrusting Haka dance moves of the All Blacks and the finesse of the ladies’ Poi dance, you’ll polish off a traditional Maori dinner and feel like one of the locals. (B,D) DAY 5 ROTORUA. Get muddy in the bubbling, sulphur-soaked town of Rotorua. While you're here, raft over the waterfalls, head to the spa for a massage, or jump into the real-life landscapes of Tolkien's dreams on the Hobbiton Shire escape (all optional). (B) DAY 6 ROTORUA TO TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK. After enjoying the geothermal activity of Rotorua, the brave can bungy jump off a ledge as we pass by the largest freshwater lake in Australasia. (B,D)

Wellington (voted ‘best place in the world to live 2017’) has more bars and restaurants per capita than New York and is known for its craft beer.

Europe. It’s authentic, it’s unreal and it’s unlike anywhere else. Meander through old cobbled back streets oozing with history and a story to tell. While you’re there, shout out to the icons (you know the ones). The Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower and the Berlin Wall = top of the bucket list.

DAY 1 REYKJAVÍK. Topdeck crew, unite! We kick things off in Reykjavík today. Get ready for a group dinner tonight and discover for yourself why Iceland’s nightlife is so famous. Pssst: drinks on whoever spots Iceland’s famous hidden people. (D) DAY 2 REYKJAVÍK TO AKUREYRI. We’re heading north to Akureyri (‘ah-koo-rare-ee’) on one of the most scenic drives this volcanic island can offer. We’re talking lava fields, farmlands, fjords and *gasp* Icelandic horses! Later: wander around town with a coffee buzz or try to spot humpback whales from the shore. (B) DAY 3 AKUREYRI. Free day in your new fave town. Think: floating in geothermal baths (for the softest skin ever) or a local beer tasting (optional). After a day of exploring, share your experiences and snaps with the crew over dinner – it’s on us. (B,D) DAY 4 AKUREYRI TO EGILSSTAÐIR. We’re off east to Egilsstaðir. But first a stop off at Goðafoss, the waterfalls of the Gods. Can you smell the fresh air? No? That’s ‘cos we’re checking out Námaskarð – a geothermal park with bubbling mud pools and steaming springs. Waiting for us in Egilsstaðir is hiking, views of glacial mountains and Lagarfljót, Iceland’s third-largest lake. (B,D) DAY 5 EGILSSTAÐIR TO KIRKJUBÆJARKLAUSTUR. Kirkjubæjarklaustur awaits. Talk about a tongue twister! It’s all good, the locals know this southern town as ‘Klaustur’ (pronounced ‘cloister’). This afternoon we’re iceberg and glacier hunting with an optional tour of Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs – no biggie! Ten points for anyone who spots a seal! (B,D)

Do you like waterfalls? We’re chasing them today at Seljalandsfoss and Gullfoss. Play your cards right and we’ll even chuck in a geyser. Our advice? Try not to nap – the scenery on today’s drive is too good to miss! (B,L)

Your responsibilities today include swimming, improving your tan and counting shades of blue. Later, toast your first day’s seafaring with an optional barbecue dinner on board the boat. Life on the ocean wave is hungry work, huh? (L) DAY2 MLJET TO MAKARSKA. Welcome to the glitz, sunshine and high rolling antics of the Croatian Riviera. Laze around on Makarska’s beaches and channel your inner high-roller. Tonight we party pirate style, so don your eyepatch and striped shirt

and practise your finest “arrrr”. Optional: a visit to a national park with a natural slide when the tide is right. (B,L)

DAY 3 MAKARSKA TO SPLIT. Next stop is Split, where Roman and Venetian architecture contrasts with communist blocks from Tito’s reign. But first, we’ve got two optional activities for you: get some aerial thrills ziplining across the Cetina Gorge, or flex your skills on a river rafting excursion. Make like a local with a drink in the main square tonight or wrap your tastebuds around a seafood dish at a restaurant on the esplanade. (B,L)

DAY 7 ŠIPAN TO DUBROVNIK. Hit the beach and chase the peacocks. Or, trace the top of the 1,940 metres of city walls and then grab a front row seat for the sunset. Today’s optional activities: sea kayaking around the Dubrovnik walls or a Game of Thrones walking tour. Tonight we go all out for one last hurrah in the ‘Jewel of the Adriatic’. (B,L) DAY 8 DUBROVNIK. Exchange contact details with your shipmates and plan your next adventure. We’re outta here after breakfast.

DAY 1 REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND. With landscapes like this, Iceland might as well be its own solar system. Make your own way to your accommodation for a date with your Trip Leader and fellow #topdeckers. Make friends, swap travel stories and grab some drinks. This is going to be epic. (D) DAY 2 REYKJAVÍK. Off to the Blue Lagoon today. Sounds like something out of Disney and looks like something from space. Lunar landscape. Natural geothermal pools. The chance to explore and swim. In winter. Outside. Iceland is awesome. As if life couldn’t get any better than that, wait ‘til tonight. We’re off chasing the Northern Lights. Visibility can’t be guaranteed but if you nail that shot you won’t need to take another photo again. Ever. (B) DAY 3 REYKJAVÍK. Swap natural wonders for city life with a free day in über-cool Reykjavík. Check out the views from Hallgrímskirkja then hit up the halfsubmerged City Hall and grab a coffee with half your body under the waterline. Surreal. If you're a naturelover, don't miss the optional Golden Circle tour for 300 kilometres of the very best Icelandic landscapes (see also: the UNESCO World Heritage Site Thingvellir National Park). Come nightfall, foodie haunts abound. Local delicacies like smoked sheep head or rotten shark = a little too much for most. But we're up for a bite from the world's best hot dog stand. Bill Clinton allegedly rates it. For something even more local, head to the other end of the lake for great food and great views. Worth the trip. Be warned, the best nightlife starts late. Like midnight. (B) DAY 4 REYKJAVÍK. Farewells today. Don’t get too upset. You ticked off a bucket list killer. (B) For more awesome Topdeck Europe trips please visit www. topdeck.travel

If you fancy a bike tour, cabaret show or river cruise, we’ll hook you up. (B) DAY 3 PARIS TO SWISS ALPS, SWITZERLAND. We’ll be #nofilter-ed out by the end of today’s Instagram feed. With picturesque mountains and to-die-for scenery, this place has to be seen to believed. Not to mention the carb-tastic dinner. (B,D) DAY 4 SWISS ALPS.

DAY 1 MADRID, SPAIN. Reset your body clock; you’re on Madrid time now. Meet your crew and get fired up for the trip like a bull seeing red. (D) DAY 2 MADRID TO GRANADA. Siesta as we make our way to the base of the Sierra Nevada, aka the land of free tapas (Google it). After dinner, seek out a tetería for delish pastries and sweet mint tea. (B) DAY 3 GRANADA. Winter = no crowds through the chiselled kaleidoscope that makes up the Alhambra and the Palacio de Generalife. Get schooled in Islamic architecture with a guided tour then tapas your heart out. (B)

M RO YF D DA CA ON R 59 S P E $1 P E R R PE

DAY 4 GRANADA TO CHEFCHAOUEN, MOROCCO. Wave Andalusia goodbye and be awash in blue as we enter Chefchaouen, known for its pastel colours. Give your Instagram feed a workout while you tour the medina and souk. (B,D) DAY 5 CHEFCHAOUEN TO FES. Hightail it to the Mecca of the West with a front-row pano of the rolling Rif

Mountains and snow-strewn Middle Atlas Mountains playing out the coach window. Thanks, nature. (B)

DAY 6 FES. Tick ‘em off with a local guide: royal palace, Jewish neighbourhood, UNESCO World Heritage listed medina and leather tannery. Then hunt down a hammam and lose yourself in the labyrinth of souks and cobblestone streets. (B) DAY 7 FES TO MARRAKECH.

Leave the tajines for Seville and the Moorish brilliance that is the Alcazar. (B,D) DAY 11 SEVILLE. Random fact: Seville’s cathedral allegedly houses Christopher Columbus’s tomb, but the jury’s still out as to whether he’s really buried there. Do your own investigating then opt in for a fierce flamenco performance. (B) DAY 12 SEVILLE TO LISBON, PORTUGAL. Three words you need to know in Lisbon: Pastéis de Belém. Make a beeline for the famous egg tarts before dinner. (B,D) DAY 13 LISBON. Catch a yellow tram, hit up a fado club, snap a #selfie in the pink street and save some energy for the buzzing Bairro Alto district for live music and cocktails. (B) DAY 14 LISBON TO MADRID, SPAIN. Cross the border back to the Spanish capital and gorge on a smorgasbord of art history on a driving tour of the city. (B) DAY 15 MADRID. Finish off your trip with some free time to explore Madrid.

DAY 2 MARRAKECH. Today is all about the city tour. See the Bahia Palace, visit the Saadian Tombs and then work your way past the snake charmers in Jemaa el-Fnaa square. (B) DAY 3 MARRAKECH TO RABAT VIA CASABLANCA. Visit the Hassan II Mosque – bearer of the world’s largest minaret (210 metres), with a frickin’ laser beam on top. After lunch, head to the UNESCO World Heritage capital of Rabat and paint the town blue in Kasbah des Oudaias. (B) DAY 4 RABAT TO FES VIA VOLUBILIS AND MEKNES. Live la dolce vita in Volubilis, or at least get a good idea of what it was like during Roman times, at these wellpreserved ruins. Think: historic public buildings dating back a whopping 2,000 years ago. Then, walk through Meknes and go into pattern overdrive in Fes. (B) DAY 5 FES. Mausoleums, mosques and medinas are in order today on a full-day whip around the city with a local guide. Lose yourself in the 9,000 narrow cobbled streets in Fes el-Bali, lined with spices, food stalls and tanneries. Or hunt down a hammam for a (body) shine and polish. (B,L) DAY 6 FES TO ERRACHIDIA VIA IFRANE AND MIDELT. Adjust to the altitude in Alpine-fresh Ifrane, then carve back through cedar forests to Midelt for lunch and head south to Errachidia. (B)

Kick start your day with a guided city tour and see the Saadian tombs and Bahia Palace before ending in Jemaa el-Fnaa – a town square that houses snake charmers, Barbary apes, singers, dancers, drummers and more. (B) DAY 3 MARRAKECH TO TAMNOUGALT VIA AIT BENHADDOU. Prepare for some of the most epic scenery as we cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass. Alpineesque fields of grazing sheep clash with unforgiving rocky terrain, mud-brick houses and some of the most nerve-shredding hairpin bends. Bonus: a visit to World Heritage listed Ksar in Aït Benhaddou. Tonight, sleep it off in a Kasbah. (B,L,D) DAY 4 TAMNOUGALT TO SAHARA DESERT. Leaving snowcapped mountains to go boarding on a sand dune sounds impossible, but it’s happening. Blast across sand flats, wind between desert dunes and rattle your bones over the dry Draa River to reach our camp on the edge of the Erg Chigaga dunes. This is glamping, desert style. (B,L,D)

DAY 6 TAMALAKOUTE TO TAROUDANT. As far as road trips go, crossing the otherworldly volcanic landscape of the Jebel Siroua Mountains by 4x4 bats well above average. Expect endless twists through rock-strewn desert vistas, climbing to an elevation of 2,500m with a window-slideshow of deep valleys, barley and saffron fields. Keep watch for blink-and-you’ll-miss-it villages where the Ait Ouaouzguit Berbers herd donkeys and weave a rug like no other. (B,L,D)

DAY 2 AMMAN TO PETRA. Go old school in Madaba, the site of an ancient Holy map that’s so detailed it’s like Google Maps for theologists. Then, soak up views of the Promised Land from the top of Mt Nebo, storm a giant Crusader castle in Karak... and we haven’t even got to the Lost City yet. (B) DAY 3 PETRA. Chiseled from sheer cliffs of rose-red stone and named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Petra’s existence seems impossible. Grab your satchel and don’t forget your hat – Indiana Jones has nothing on you today as you wander through the Siq and catch your first glimpse of the Treasury. (B) DAY 4 PETRA TO WADI RUM VIA LITTLE PETRA. After an off-road desert drive through Wadi Rum, spend the night in a Bedouin camp and feast on a traditional earth-oven dinner with one of the world’s most ancient nomadic tribes. Also realise you’ve never really seen stars before. (B,D) DAY 5 WADI RUM TO AQABA. Aqaba is Jordan’s only coastal city so take the option to dive, windsurf and snorkel the Red Sea. Or just hit the hammam and gorge yourself on knafeh in a coffee shop – we won’t judge. (B) DAY 6 AQABA TO AMMAN. At 427 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is so salty you can float like a cork in a badly opened bottle of wine. Time to enjoy one of the world’s oldest health resorts. Then it’s back to Amman to see the likes of the Citadel and Roman amphitheatre on a city tour. (B)

Today we crank the history knob up to 11 and take you through Jerash – home to Greco-Roman highlights, including a hippodrome which was used for chariot racing, not hippos. Then visit Ajloun Castle – once an important pigeon post to help get messages from Damascus to Cairo in a single day. (B) DAY 8 AMMAN. Fill up on fuul; the trip’s over after breakfast. Where to next?

Madaba is home to a mosaic map of the Holy Land so detailed it’s like an ancient Navman. From there, take in views of epic proportions from Mt Nebo and explore Karak Castle where the Crusaders ruled over the valley below. (B) DAY 3 PETRA. ‘Historic’ is a word that doesn’t even come close to describing a city that was founded around 312 BC. Petra stands as a testament to man’s ability to create beauty from nothing with 80m high red sandstone tunnels and a facade made famous by Indiana Jones. (B)

++ Petra by Night tour ++ Camel ride at Wadi Rum ++ Red Sea snorkelling boat trip

DAY 6 AQABA TO AMMAN. Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad empires have all had their two cents when it comes to Amman, creating a melting pot of ancient historical sites. You’ll see the Roman amphitheatre, Citadel and more on this afternoon’s city tour. (B) DAY 7 AMMAN TO JERUSALEM, ISRAEL VIA JERASH AND AJLOUN. Roman ruins in Jerash and a pit stop to see the Ajloun fortress before we cross the border. Israel’s next. (B) DAY 8 JERUSALEM. Christianity, Islam and Judaism all consider Jerusalem a holy place; it's kind of a big deal. You’ll go to: the Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, King David’s Tomb, the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Golgotha (where Jesus was crucified), just to name a few. (B)

Wander the chilled-out seaport of Old Jaffa then see why Lonely Planet ranked this place amongst the top ten party cities in the world. (B) DAY 10 TEL AVIV. The trip might be over after breakfast, but don’t leave until you track down Abu Hassan for hummus that will haunt your dreams (it’s that good). (B)

Starting early, we roll in style (and by style, we mean fully equipped safari truck) to the Greater Kruger area. Kruger is South Africa’s premier national park and in connection with parks in adjoining Mozambique and Botswana, covers 24,000 square kilometres of land used in the protection of African wildlife. Give your camera a work out as we enjoy a full day’s game viewing in the national park, seeking wildlife encounters with Africa’s Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard – as well as giraffe, hippo, zebra and more! Nothing will prepare you for the first time you spot these incredible creatures in the wild – guaranteed memories sure to last a lifetime! (D) (B,L,D)

DAY 1 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. Assemble the wolf pack as we drive across the Mojave desert to our first stop in Las Vegas. Postcards home write of buffets, blackjack and the Bellagio, but few mention the ridiculous antics you can only get up to in Sin City. Offering fancier than normal pools, 5am burgers in your hotel and party buses – this is Vegas as you’ve dreamt it. Hit The Strip aboard our party bus and let Vegas show you its colours. (D) DAY 2 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. G-rated Vegas sounds like an oxymoron, but there's plenty of family-friendly options from indoor skydiving to roller coasters atop needle-pin buildings. Take the option to make like Godzilla with a helicopter flight above The Strip, or recline in your seat as you watch the world go by from the Observation Wheel. DAY 3 LAS VEGAS (DAY TRIP TO GRAND CANYON). Stay by the pool or live large—your choice, but a day trip to the Grand Canyon is included today. The jaw-dropping view around the canyon rim or from the (optional) chopper is well worth the journey along Route 66. DAY 4 LAS VEGAS TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK REGION, CALIFORNIA. Lost track of time last night? Swap stories of your Vegas antics as we drive from the desert to the Sierra Nevada Mountains (and our gateway to Yosemite National Park). DAY 5 YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. There aren’t enough flowery adjectives to describe the beauty of Yosemite Valley. It doesn't have honey badgers, but it does have bears, coyotes and golden eagles that are badass in their own right. Hike to Vernal Falls, ride or take the free shuttle to explore the real-world equivalent of Narnia. There’s always the Ansel Adams Gallery if you need photography pointers. (B) DAY 6 YOSEMITE TO NAPA VALLEY. The home of Californian wine is well worth the ride – says 3.3 million people coming here every year. Luckily you’ve got an included wine tasting. (B,D)

Act like the big kid you really are and forget about that thing they call ‘adulting’ today.

Note: popcorn and souvenirs are essential.(B) DAY 8 ORLANDO TO MIAMI, FLORIDA. B’bye Magic Kingdom and mouse ears, we’re off for an Everglades airboat tour on the way to Miami.

Or just get in on the sun and surf action along the 70 miles of beaches. (B) DAY 3 SAN DIEGO TO PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. Drive through the Joshua Tree-dotted landscape of the Mojave desert to Prescott, where cowboy hats are part of the local’s uniform and Whiskey Row is the place to be. (B) DAY 4 PRESCOTT TO GRAND CANYON REGION VIA SEDONA. Stretch your legs in Arizona’s ‘little Hollywood’, Sedona—a spiritual mecca in the desert. Say a few ‘oms’ amongst the red sandstone on the optional jeep tour before we travel towards the Grand Canyon. (B,D) DAY 5 GRAND CANYON. Ready to ‘go big or go home’? With a day at the Grand Canyon you can see billions of years of rock history from every angle, including a 360-degree panorama if you take the optional chopper. (B) DAY 6 GRAND CANYON TO ZION NATIONAL PARK REGION, UTAH. Urban hippies, rejoice! The Cameron Native American Trading Post on our way will soothe twitching shopping withdrawals. Millions-year-old sweeping sandstone canyons, iridescent waterfalls and breathtaking landscapes await in Zion tomorrow. (B,D) DAY 7 ZION NATIONAL PARK TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. Strap on your hiking boots and challenge yourself to reach Angel's Landing. The views are so worth it. Then: a tour of The Strip in Vegas, a nightclub on wheels (and pockets full of casino chips?). (B) DAY 8 LAS VEGAS. Gamble your time in Vegas away on the roulette of activities available at your doorstep:

(B) DAY 4 PRESCOTT TO GRAND CANYON REGION VIA SEDONA. Our road takes us to the Grand Canyon region, but first, a stop in the spiritual town of Sedona is a must. To up your transport game, jump in a Jeep for an optional tour through the area. (B,D) DAY 5 GRAND CANYON. Fact: nothing will prepare you for your first ‘wow’ moment at the Grand Canyon. With a full day to explore, strap on your hiking boots or to see it all from above, jump in a chopper. (B) DAY 6 GRAND CANYON TO ZION NATIONAL PARK REGION, UTAH. Keep your smartphone charged today to snap away at the impressive Horseshoe Bend before we reach the Cameroon Native American Trading Post. (B,D) DAY 7 ZION NATIONAL PARK TO LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. See what Zion National Park is all about before we roll into Las Vegas. First stop: a nightclub on wheels. (B) DAY 8 LAS VEGAS. This is Vegas, baby.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These booking conditions are governed by the laws of England. Any dispute in relation to these booking conditions shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.

Brochure Validity Date

Prices quoted in our brochures are calculated on costs and exchange rates at 1 June 2017

Your contract will be with Topdeck as tour operator, unless you have booked a Locally Operated Trip, in which case your contract for tour services will be with the operator specified above and will be subject to that operator's terms and conditions, in addition to the booking conditions set out below. For any Locally Operated Trip, the operator will be identified on your itinerary or travel documents and their respective terms and conditions will be available directly on their websites or by contacting them. Should we book a flight on your behalf it will be subject to the conditions of the respective airline, including but not limited to deposit/full payment and cancellation terms. Please read these booking conditions carefully. You must not make any booking unless you understand and agree with these booking conditions. Our trips are designed strictly for young people between the ages of 18 to 39 years. Bookings can be made through your local travel agent or directly with Topdeck and must be secured with a deposit of the amount shown above. A contract between you and us (or between you and the relevant operator of a Locally Operated Trip) will exist as soon as (i); we issue an invoice in response to your request for a booking and (ii); your deposit is paid to us or your travel agent. If your booking is made through a travel agent, we will address all correspondence to that agent. PRICE & PAYMENT The deposit is non-refundable unless we cancel your trip. The balance of your trip must be paid no later than 42 days prior to your trip departure date. If you do not pay within this period we may cancel your booking and your deposit will be forfeited. Full payment is required if you make a booking within 42 days of the departure date. If your booking is a special offer we may require full payment (including any pre and post accommodation and sundry service charges) by such earlier time as specified in the offer Prices quoted in our brochures are calculated on costs and exchange rates as at the Brochure Validity Date. These prices may increase or decrease. We may alter prices and other particulars contained in our brochures and on our website at any time. Before you make a booking we will provide you with details of the current price of your chosen trip. Offered discounts are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time without notice. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Please ensure you carefully read your invoice, tickets and all other documents we send to you as soon as you receive them and contact us or your travel agent immediately if any information appears to be incorrect. We will not accept any liability if you fail to notify us of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of us sending them to you or the travel agent. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the correct and valid travel documents including passports, visas and vaccination certificates. We strongly recommend that you verify current documentation requirements with your travel agent or us. Please note requirements change and you must check with your consulate for the most up to date information, including but not limited to visa requirements for the countries visited on your trip. Passports must have an expiry date of at least six months after completion of the trip. IF YOU CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR BOOKING If you want to change or cancel any aspect of your booking including but not limited to a change to a trip of shorter duration or different departure date you must notify us in writing. We will do our best to accommodate your requested change but it may not always be possible. We will not charge a fee for changes requested more than 42 days before departure except where we incur a cost from a supplier, in which case we will advise you of the relevant fee. All change/cancellation fees must be paid within seven days of the invoice date or on the date of departure, whichever is the sooner. If you are prevented from traveling as a result of illness, death of an immediate family member, jury service, or other reason beyond your control which we consider significant, we may agree to your booking being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the trip, subject to you and the other person accepting liability for full payment of the trip cost and any additional costs arising from the transfer and provided that you give us not less than 21 days' written notice of the proposed transfer. CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION BY US Every effort will be made to operate all trips as advertised but it must be remembered that our trips are planned up to eighteen months in advance. We may therefore, at our discretion, modify or cancel any trip, accommodation or arrangement at any time. We will notify you as soon as possible of any changes and they will form part of our contract with you. In the case of any material modification or cancellation, we will, if possible, provide you with three alternatives: (1) a trip of an equivalent or closely similar standard and price, if available; or (2) a trip of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or (3) cancellation with a full refund of all monies paid. A material modification is one that has a serious impact on your trip and includes a change of departure date, departure point or airport, or change of departure time of more than twelve hours, which would cause substantial inconvenience to you. A change of accommodation, or transport method/style is not a material modification. We may alter or substitute the type or size of vehicle, or method/style of transport mentioned in the brochure, depending on the number of passengers carried, which can vary from trip to trip. Normally the maximum group size is between 36 and 48 passengers. In certain countries there are strict laws governing drivers' hours and this may necessitate utilising public transport in some cities. Topdeck may require a minimum number of participants for certain trips. In the event that insufficient bookings have been made as at 42 days prior to departure, we may cancel the scheduled trip, whereupon all money paid by you for your Topdeck trip will be refunded and no further compensation will be paid. In such circumstances, you agree to release Topdeck from any further obligations which would have been

enforceable had the trip not been cancelled.

responsibility for any such requirements not being fulfilled.

OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR TOPDECK OPERATED TRIPS

If you have a medical condition or require special arrangements that may affect your trip, we ask that you inform us in writing at the time of booking. If we cannot reasonably accommodate your particular needs we may decline the booking or ask for you to be accompanied by a person who is able to provide full assistance to you throughout your trip.

Save where the provisions of Force Majeure apply, if the trip does not materially comply with the description in the brochure, Topdeck may compensate you to a maximum value equal to the price of the trip. Topdeck will only be liable to pay the maximum amount of compensation where there has been a total failure of consideration for your payment. Topdeck will not be liable where any failure in the performance or provision of your trip is due to: (a) your acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of another member in your group (b) any third party not connected with the provision of your travel arrangements (c) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised or (d) an event which we or a travel service provider, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall (including but not limited to Force Majeure and unavoidable technical problems with transport and similar events). Our liability will in all cases be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to any applicable international conventions, including but not limited to the Geneva Convention in respect of carriage by road, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation which set time limits for notifications/claims and limit the amount of compensation that can be claimed for death, injury, delay to passengers/guests and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage sustained by you as a result of a contravention of any law or regulation of any of the countries visited while on the trip. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR LOCALLY OPERATED TRIPS If your trip is a Locally Operated Trip as listed above our obligation to you is to (and you expressly authorise us to) make trip bookings on your behalf with reasonable skill and care and to arrange a contract between you and the relevant operator. We exercise care in the selection of reputable local operators but we have no control over, or liability for, the services provided by third parties. All bookings are made on your behalf subject to the terms and conditions, including conditions of carriage and limitations of liability, imposed by the local operator (available on request). Your legal rights in connection with such trips are against the local operator and are not against us, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part. SEATBELTS You must wear a seatbelt at all times whilst you are in any vehicle. Neither Topdeck nor any local operator will be liable for any injury, death or claim howsoever arising from any accident if you have failed to comply with this requirement. FLEXIBILITY DURING TRIP Your booking is accepted on the condition that you understand, and take responsibility for, the risks inherent in adventure travel. Every effort will be made to operate all trips featured in this brochure but there may be a necessity to vary the itinerary from that stated in the brochure, and delays may occur for a variety of reasons beyond our control. The need for a flexible attitude to this type of travel is important. All decisions relating to a trip itinerary will be taken by the Trip Leader, as appointed by us in the interest of the group as a whole. Please note that due to public holidays some sights or activities may not be available on a particular trip. No refund will be made for services made available by Topdeck but which for whatever reason are not used by you once the trip has departed. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS Topdeck and its employees, agents and contractors make no representation or warranty in relation to implied or explicit suggestions or recommendations of services, activities and events not highlighted as included in a trip. You are responsible for all risks associated with the transportation to/from, and your participation in, or visitation to, any place, activity or excursion not listed as an inclusion. During your trip you will be offered the chance to purchase various optional excursions and activities. Topdeck does not own, operate or control any of the companies or individuals which provide the optional activities or excursions. Some of the optional activities and excursions, such as canyoning, are inherently dangerous and risky. If you want to take part in such optional activities or excursions you must be fit enough to do so and must follow all reasonable instructions. The standards of health and safety which will be adopted by the company or the individual providing the optional activity or excursion will be those of the country where the optional activity or excursion takes place. Please note that these standards may not be the same as you would find in your home country. If you wish to book any optional excursion or activity, you may do so subject to the operator’s terms and conditions. Your contract will be with the operator of the activity or excursion and will be governed by local law. Topdeck acts only as their agent. Topdeck’s Trip Leader will have further details and additional information can be found on our website. Topdeck accepts no liability for any act or omission of any operator or operator’s employees, agents or sub-contractors. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY – FORCE MAJEURE We do not accept liability for any loss, damage or expense resulting from war or terrorist activities threatened or actual, civil unrest, industrial action threatened or actual, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, closures, unforeseen alterations to public transport schedules, rescheduling of aircraft or boats, epidemic or outbreaks of illness or any other event outside our control which either delays or extends or reduces the trip, or compels a change in the trip arrangements after departure (“Force Majeure”). DIETARY, HEALTH AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENT You must clearly state all your dietary requirements at the time of booking. We cannot guarantee that special dietary requirements can be met and we cannot take

YOUR LIABILITY TO US You will not be permitted to embark or continue on the trip if your mental or physical condition is, in the reasonable opinion of any representative of Topdeck, such as to render you incapable of caring for yourself, or where you become objectionable to other passengers, or you become a hazard to yourself or other passengers. We will not be responsible for expenses resulting in you being precluded from completing the trip for any reason, nor will we refund you any part of your trip cost. In all cases we will notify you of the reasons why we have taken this action. We will have no obligation to arrange for your return to the point of the trip departure if your condition manifests itself after the trip departure. Further, if the trip involves travel by air, the captain of your aircraft can refuse to allow you to fly on the aircraft if he believes that you could be dangerous or disruptive to other passengers on the flight. You indemnify us against all third-party actions taken against us for loss or damage caused by you or arising from your participation on the trip. INSURANCE & CLAIMS You must take out comprehensive travel insurance before you travel on your trip. Your insurance protection must include cover for cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death, and loss of personal baggage and money and personal liability insurance. Evidence of such insurances must be produced to Topdeck on request and normally on day one of your trip. Insurance cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover agreements are often not comprehensive. If you make a claim against Topdeck you agree to assign to us or our insurers any rights to take action against any third party supplier/tour operator or any other person or party that may have been wholly or partly responsible for the claim or who Topdeck reasonably considers should be a party to the action. You must co-operate fully with Topdeck should Topdeck or its insurers wish to enforce those rights which have been assigned to Topdeck. If you make a claim against us which is covered by your insurance policy, you agree to pursue the claim through your insurer either in addition to, or in substitution for, your claim against us (if any). We agree to indemnify you in respect of reasonable expenses incurred in successfully pursuing such a claim and acknowledge that any settlement made by the insurer shall not prejudice your rights against us. COMPLAINTS In the event of any dissatisfaction with the accommodation or any other service provided by Topdeck, you must report it immediately to the Trip Leader so that action can be taken to remedy the problem. Failure to immediately notify the Trip Leader of any problem may result in your claim for compensation from us being denied or reduced. Any complaint made to Topdeck following the conclusion of the trip should be made in writing within 28 days of completion of the trip. In the event that you do not notify us in writing within 28 days, Topdeck’s ability to investigate the complaint may be prejudiced. In the UK, we can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com. DATA PROTECTION We are committed to protecting your personal information and agree to process your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Notice, which is available online at www.topdeck.travel/privacy. In order to make your booking and ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly, we need to use the information you provide and pass it on to other relevant suppliers who are responsible for parts of your travel arrangements. In many cases this will include transferring your data to overseas recipients (including to recipients outside of the European Union). In making this booking, your consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons is deemed to be given unless you object and advise Topdeck of your objection at the time of booking. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This consent applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities or dietary/ religious requirements. SMOKING Topdeck enforces a non-smoking policy on our coaches (although we make frequent stops for breaks) and in most of our accommodation. LUGGAGE There are strict weight limits for coaches when fully loaded. You are only entitled to have one piece of main luggage of standard size (see the pre-departure information or our website for size limits) and not weighing more than 20kg (or 15kg for Outback trips). In addition you may bring a sleeping bag, as required on specific trips, and a daypack. PUBLISHING CONSENT You acknowledge and agree that future Topdeck advertising and publicity material may include statements made by passengers, or their photographs, and you consent to such use of your comments or photographic/video likeness. WI-FI Topdeck will endeavor to deliver Wi-Fi connection as stated on relevant trips to the best of its ability. This service is subject to availability and may not be available on some peak season departures or in the event of technical issues.
