ABA Review

Joey and John Spellerberg recently returned home from Charlotte, NC and the American Bus Association’s (ABA) annual Marketplace! For the first time in Moostash Joe Tours history, they had two booths! Which means they both took appointments with all kinds of destinations and attractions from all over the U.S. It was a very productive week and they both came away with some great ideas and many other improvements. All to keep Moostash Joe Tours as a leader with the best itineraries and most value for your money. Click below for a sneak peak on a new tour at the end of 2018! 

Blue Christmas 2018

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

 

 

Season’s Greetings and the Merriest of Christmases from ALL of us here at Moostash Joe Tours! The best way to stay warm this time of year is sharing it with the presence of those close to you! Although we’re missing the “Moostash Joe” in the annual Moostash Joe Tours photo above this Christmas, we’re thankful for the many incredible people we have carrying on his legacy and passion for travel. 

 

However, we want to take this opportunity to tell you how grateful we are for YOU, your support and your patronage of Moostash Joe Tours this year. It was a year full of many wonderful memories and fantastic people like yourselves. None of what we do would be possible without you, and we’re so excited to continue our tradition of helping people experience the majesty and wonder of God’s creation through travel for many years to come.Take a look through a couple of the many highlights from 2017, below!

Our Own Ark Story

 

We’re all about finding new, exciting destinations each and every year. Some that you may have heard of and some that you have not. In the case of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, in many ways, we were just as surprised as you were! When we found out there was going to be a life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark in rural Kentucky, we knew we had to try and take a group there. After a visit of our own and ONE Ark Encounter bus tour from Nebraska date scheduled for 2017, we were ready to share it with you…

 

What we didn’t know was that we would end up taking SEVEN buses during SIX different dates to the Ark Encounter in 2017! Each group that came back told us they couldn’t believe their eyes when they first gazed at the largest wooden timber structure in the world. We currently have FOUR dates scheduled to see the Ark and Creation Museum in 2018, but only Noah knows how many we’ll end up taking. Click the picture below to see pictures from one of our many Ark Encounter Tours in 2017!

 

       

 A Return to Alaska

 

 

Three years ago, not knowing it at the time, we took our last group to Alaska by bus. All in all, 26 total days of incredibly beautiful scenery, unmatched wildlife viewing and several thousand miles. A road trip that many of you took and will never forget. Over time, the logistics, length of the tour and small number of people interested became too difficult to manage. However, after a survey in which many of you stated you’d still love to go to Alaska, we put together a more manageable (and affordable) way for you to see the Last Frontier and 49th State. 

 

Our fly-in, 8-day Alaska & Denali National Park Tour in 2017 was such a big hit, and received such great reviews, that we had to add another date to our 2018 schedule. Alaska is such an amazing destination but is a place where going on your own can be too stressful and demanding. As a group, we flew into Anchorage, met our experienced, Alaska-native Tour Director and began an epic motor coach tour of the state, including Denali National Park, ending with an easy flight home. Click the picture above to see pictures from our 2017 Alaska & Denali National Park Tour! If this interests you, don’t wait much longer! Both 2018 dates are filling up fast!

The numbers are in! At last count, there were already 213,000 cranes along Nebraska’s Platte River, the most in over 18 years at this time! Experts are saying because of the warmer weather, the peak of the migration will be sooner. Fortunately, a family of cranes stay for about three weeks, putting our tour on March 15-16 at a great time! If you’re interested in seeing one of the greatest migration spectacles in North America, don’t wait any longer! There’s still time to get on the tour but there are just a few SEATS LEFT! Below are some highlights of our Sandhill Crane Migration Tour, March 15-16.

California & Great Parks – Texas Winter Getaway Review

Yosemite slider

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than Yosemite and the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods…our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty unmarred.” We couldn’t agree more with Teddy! Our California & Great Parks bus tour from Nebraska is the only to include Yosemite National Park. Below are just some of the many highlights of the tour:

  • Step-on guide tours of San Francisco & Los Angeles, CA
  • Guided tour of beautiful Yosemite National Park
  • Visit and tour Muir Woods – One of the best Redwood forests in the world!
  • Visits to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Napa Valley’s Vineyards and much, much more!

Texas Winter Getaway

I also think a big thank you is in order to our Texas Winter Getaway group for bringing back such nice weather! Virginia and George teamed up again for a very enjoyable tour through the Lone Star State. Click HERE to take a look at some of the pictures she took. We were so excited about how it went that we’ve already added a 2017 bus tour date! Click the link below to see the 2017 Texas Winter Getaway details, including its senior discount!

“Christmastime is Here”

Hello adventure seekers! What a beautiful past week we’ve had. Great weather, unforgettable tours and we even had a couple Presidential candidates travel with us… Since Thanksgiving, we’ve had 7 bus tours come back! With 3 on the road as we speak! Click the names below to check out some of the pictures we took:

San Antonio Christmas #1, Lorie Line Holiday Concert, Branson Christmas #3, Nashville Christmas

Presidential candidates 2016

They already look prepared to take on Trump and company… Our last bus tour from Nebraska in the year 2015 leaves this Thursday, December 10 – our Ultimate Mystery Christmas tour. We’re still not telling you where it’s going.

Mexico’s Copper Canyon

Urgent! If you’re at all thinking about our brand new Mexico’s Copper Canyon tour, February 3-13, we only have 4 seats left! If you haven’t been thinking about it – maybe this will help. Believe it or not, right now the U.S. Dollar is very strong. 1 U.S. Dollar = 17 Mexican Pesos. The exchange hasn’t been this favorable in over 10 YEARS! We also have an experienced, professional Mexican tour guide with the group at ALL times in Mexico, keeping the group well informed and most importantly, safe. The tour features a first class train ride through Mexico’s Sierra Nevada’s, comfortable river raft tour in El Fuerte, and some of the most spectacular views in North America at the Copper Canyon. Below is my homemade map of the route taken through Mexico – starting in El Paso and finishing at Carlsbad Caverns.

Hasta luego amigos!
