If you like impressive natural wonders, thrilling adventure activities, and landscapes so scenic you always thought they were airbrushed, you’ll love this impressive fam trip prize.  

Maybe don’t make any plans from 7 to 16 October this year, because if you win, that’s when you’ll hop aboard your United Airlines flight into the heart of North California, San Francisco! 

Your amazing fam trip will include: 

  • Return economy class flights with United Airlines  
  • 2 nights soaking up spectacular Sonoma 
  • 2 jaw-dropping nights at awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park 
  • 2 nights at gorgeous South Lake Tahoe 
  • 2 nights enjoying the momentous vibes at Mammoth Lakes 

Your fam highlights

The Viva Holidays and Co. fam itinerary is under lock and key and cloaked in invisible ink and stuff. However, we’re tenacious at Karryon, so we’ve got word of the fam highlights.  

Obvs tell no one but start picturing yourself at these iconic Northern California destinations: 

  • The City: The City is what peeps in the Bay Area call San Francisco (definitely not San Fran). After exploring the best of the gateway to Northern California, you’ll be calling it the City like a local, too! 
  • Sonoma: If you love wine, you’ll love Sonoma – it’s the birthplace of California vino! It’s also where the Farm-to-Fork movement kicked off (thank you, Sonoma), and its impressive redwood forests are divine to explore 
  • Yosemite-Mariposa County: The region’s adventure playground, Yosemite National Park, is a must-do on any itinerary up NorCal way. From the craggy mountains to the majestic falls to the giant sequoia trees, prepared to be wowed 
  • South Lake Tahoe: If it can be done outdoors, you can probably do it in Lake Tahoe! Hike, bike, paddleboard, kayak, ski, board, rock climb – Lake Tahoe is an outdoor lover’s dream 
  • Mammoth Lakes: Win one of the coveted fam spots and you’ll soon discover Mammoth Lakes, in the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. Otherworldly crater landscapes, soothing hot springs, and lakes so picturesque you’ll need to pinch yourself to believe it’s not a dream await. Woohoo!
