For many, the west coast isn't simply defined by a single destination, and the opportunity to explore and experience several locations across the region is certainly one to consider. Inspired by our popular Touring Holidays, we've put together two sample multi-centre itineraries that will allow you to stay in and soak up the best of the numerous gems discovered on the west coast.

Hotels and special offers are subject to availability at the time of booking and supplements may apply on peak dates.
