Road Trip

Hello there, fellow travelers! I'm Normand, a dependable travel advisor with more than 25 years of experience. Road vacations are something I truly adore and am an expert at. So fasten your seatbelt and get ready for an exciting road trip!

Imagine having the freedom to travel wherever your heart chooses, the wind in your hair, and the sun on your face. The best way to find hidden gems, embrace spontaneity, and make lifelong memories is on a road trip. Road vacations have something special to offer everyone, whether you're a solitary traveler looking for self-discovery, a couple looking for romantic adventures, or a family wanting for quality time.

I've created the ideal road trip experiences that will leave you wanting more using my skills and enthusiasm for travel. I've carefully selected routes that highlight the finest of each place, from magnificent coastline drives with breathtaking ocean vistas to crossing winding mountain roads that lead to majestic scenery.

Consider driving down the well-known Pacific Coast Highway while enjoying the breeze from the ocean as you pass through rocky cliffs and unspoiled beaches. Or maybe the mystique of the Great American West appeals to you more, with its infinite miles of roadway through the desert that connect to thriving cities and breathtaking national parks. Regardless of your inclination, I've got you covered with tailored itineraries that take into account your likes and dislikes.

But it's not just about getting there; it's also about the actual voyage. Along the journey, I'll provide you with insider knowledge and recommendations from the area to make sure you sample the local flavors and undiscovered gems that make each location special. Your road journey will be filled with delightful surprises at every turn, from quaint roadside diners dishing up exquisite cuisine to off-the-beaten-path sights that only the locals know about.

When taking a road trip, comfort and safety are also important priorities. You may relax knowing that I've teamed up with reliable lodging and rental companies to make sure you have a relaxing and worry-free trip. You may concentrate on the enjoyment of the journey while I take care of the practicalities thanks to my rigorous planning and attention to detail.

So, are you prepared to set out on the journey of a lifetime? I'm here to make it happen whether it's a weekend trip or a grand cross-country journey. You can feel secure knowing that I have a 100% referral rating and am an expert on travel.

Instead of just daydreaming about traveling, let's make that desire a reality. Get in touch with me right away, and we'll work together to design an incredible road trip that will give you tales to tell for years to come. Prepare yourself to create memories and experience the globe like only a road trip can. Let's embark on this journey together!

Our Dream Trip to French Polynesia
Reviewed By Chloe - Sudbury, ON | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Visiting Tahiti and Her Islands was a dream come true. Normand is extremely knowledgeable about the French Polynesian islands and provided a variety of options for our itinerary based on our interests and needs. The planning stage was delightful as Normand provided different accommodation and excursion availabilities. He was very responsive to all our inquiries, by email and phone, and always in a friendly, sincere manner. Normand booked all international and domestic flights, as well as all land transfers. Everything went very smoothly. Many thanks, Normand!
We continue to rave about how pleased we were with Normand at Far and Away Adventures with our family and friends. We will be sure to ask Normand about future vacations to the South Pacific.

Loads of personal experience
Reviewed By Ingrid - Canada | Traveled to French Polynesia | South Pacific
I can highly recommend Norm at Farandaway Adventures. Because he has travelled often throughout French Polynesia, he can make valuable recommendations in regards to very practical choices: length of time on a given island, activities to do there, best locations for accommodation, car rental ins and outs. I also really appreciated the time he took to answer my many questions. He was always patient! Lastly, we had to make quite a few flight changes due to airline changes and even an airline strike, and he handled all of those changes without us having to worry. He has many years of experience and helped us tremendously!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

What an amazing adventure- truely memorable.
Reviewed By JMW1234 - London, UK | Traveled to British Columbia | Canada
We had an outstanding experience working with Normand on our recent family trip across the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver Island. From start to finish, the planning was seamless and thoughtful. Every detail—from the route and accommodation choices to local activities and hidden gems—was perfectly tailored to our family interests and made the trip memorable for all of us. Normand was always responsive (even with a time difference), professional, and full of great suggestions that we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of the region and ability to organise logistics so smoothly gave us complete peace of mind, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the unforgettable journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend Normand to anyone looking for a well-organised, personalised travel experience. Thank you Normand, you were amazing!

Excellent Service from Norm
Reviewed By Fiona White - Surrey, BC | Traveled to Uganda | Africa
I had the pleasure of working with Normand Schafer recently to plan two international trips for our school. Normand was excellent to work with and helped organize a stress-free journey for our students and staff. Normand was able to coordinate last minute airport support to help get students and staff through a security check in a quick amount of time, helping to keep the trip on track. Normand was very communicative and knowledgeable, helpful in providing multiple options to work within our budget, and always responded very quickly to all our questions. We highly recommend Normand and look forward to working with him again in the future.
