Want to have an exciting holiday in the USA? Amisha lists many interesting things to do in the USA, including some premium experiences that can make your US holidays like no one else’s.
Most US holiday packages cover the cities with iconic landmarks. However, there are plenty other experiences that you can have on the free days of your US holidays or your extended trip. Here are 12 unusual things to do in your US holiday tour:
#1 Go On A Helicopter Tour Of The Grand Canyon (Arizona)

The geological wonder is known for its panoramic views and hikes. However, nothing matches the sight of the Canyon from a helicopter. You start from Las Vegas (a destination included in most US holiday packages) and fly over the Canyon and also Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, and other attractions around. The helicopter ride is safe and the quickest way to explore this natural wonder.
#2 Take The Napa Valley Wine Train (From San Francisco)
Go for a hot-air balloon ride at Napa Valley
If your US holiday package includes San Francisco, you could take the vintage train from there to go to the Napa Valley (and return). Aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train, you can enjoy a gourmet meal and enjoy view of some scenic destinations before reaching one of the chosen three vineyards.
#3 Learn Surfing And Snorkelling At Oahu (In Hawaii)
