Safari tour at Feed Yaks & Zebras at a Malibu Winery










Located in the hills above Agoura Hills, lies an 1,000 acre winery that is home to one of the only wine safaris I have ever heard of. This, is in addition to the fantastic outdoor seating area and atmosphere they have at their traditional wine tasting counter, makes for fun half day event in the Malibu hills. I mean when have you got to feed Yaks and Zebras in the same day that you tasted upscale wine?

 After heading back to the main area we walked the ground to see some of the cool attractions they have here as well. One of the most famous is the wine sign that mimics the love sign in Pittsburg. It is heavily photographed and you can see it at the top of this post.

All in all Malibu Family Wines is a great way to get out of the city and spend a fun day with friends. I can’t wait to go again and would love to hear what you think in the comments.
 

Visit Giant Dipper Pacific Coast Highway’s Most Famous Roller Coaster










Growing up I was a huge fan of roller coasters, you could often find me at Magic Mountain riding everything they had to offer. As I have gotten older though I have not enjoyed them as much as I did in my youth. That being said though an old historic wood coaster on the Santa Cruz boardwalk is enough to have me dusting off my roller coaster shoes, buying a ticket and giving it a try. I mean the coaster is a staple of Pacific Coast Highway so you really do owe it to yourself to make it a stop on your coastal roadtrip.

 The Giant Dipper is now the fifth oldest coaster in the U.S., continuously operating in its original location. The Giant Dipper was built in just 47 days at a cost of $50,000. Built by Arthur Looff in 1924, Looff’s love of amusement rides may have been hereditary.  In 1911, his father, Charles I.D. Looff, delivered a new merry-go-round with hand-carved horses to the Boardwalk. The family’s ride legacies made history in June of 1987 when both the Giant Dipper and the antique carousel were designated National Historic Landmarks by the U.S. National Park Service.

Tongariro National Park In New Zealand


























Tongariro National Park is a World Heritage Park and one of the oldest National Parks in the world.

contains 3 prominent active volcanoes that are situated in a desert like landscape. The area gets regular snowfalls in the winter and is home to most of the ski fields in the North Island.


Mt Ruapehu the largest volcano last erupted in 1995 and 1996. A conical volcano called Mt Ngauruhoe located next to Ruapehu is the location for the famous Tongariro Crossing.

This walk is a tough one day trek that comes highly recommended, as it shows off the best that this park has on offer. At one time, National Geographic even classed this walk as one of the top 10 one day walks in the world. Tongariro National Park is situated in the Taupo region.

To see the greatest hidden rail trip in Canada










Travelling by train is also quite exciting and fascinating with many tourists in the world. Specially, they can both contemplate scenes and relax. Therefore, we want to introduce you the greatest hidden rail trip in Canada to enjoy your holidays.


Weaving along a narrow ledge between razor-sharp mountains and a gigantic, glittering lake, the tiny, two-car Kaoham Shuttle is arguably Canada’s greatest hidden rail journey. And at just 10 Canadian dollars for a two-hour return trip, it’s also a bargain – especially if you’re a fan of both spectacular scenery and wildlife.
Founded in 1912, the Pacific Great Eastern Railway (later renamed BC Rail) used to trundle passengers from North Vancouver to the northern city of Prince George, linking dozens of backcountry communities en route. But by 2002, its money-losing passenger services had all been canned – except for a daily diesel “rail bus” between the tiny western Canada towns of Lillooet and Seton Portage. When the transcontinental freight operator Canadian National Railway acquired BC Rail’s operations in 2004, this lone passenger service somehow endured.
Today, the Kaoham Shuttle – a partnership between Canadian National and the Seton Lake First Nation community – remains a vital service in an area where backcountry roads are sometimes impassable, while also luring travelling train spotters who can’t quite believe their luck.
