North Carolina Fly Drive

Fly-Drive Adventure through North Carolina

• Day 1–2: Charlotte – Start Your Engines

  Kick things off in Charlotte, a lively city bursting with energy and Southern flair. Dive into the action at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, explore Uptown’s museums, or take a spin on the Charlotte Rail Trail. Grab dinner in the trendy South End or sip craft beer in NoDa, the city’s buzzing arts district. Feeling adventurous? Tackle whitewater rapids or zip lines at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, a guaranteed adrenaline rush!

• Day 3–4: Asheville – Art, Mountains & Biltmore Magic

  Next stop: Asheville, a quirky mountain town with serious personality. Take in the views on the Blue Ridge Parkway, then step into luxury at the iconic Biltmore Estate, America’s largest privately owned home, complete with gardens, a winery, and mountain views. And don’t leave without sampling Asheville’s famous farm-to-table dining... and maybe a cheeky cider or two.

• Day 5: Boone – Mountain Charm in the High Country

  Hit the road north for a scenic drive to Boone, tucked in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s the kind of place that feels like a breath of fresh air. Stretch your legs on a Grandfather Mountain trail or stroll the swinging Mile High Bridge for jaw-dropping views. In town, you’ll find cosy cafes, antique shops, and a touch of that classic college-town buzz.

• Day 6: Winston-Salem – Where Past Meets Present

  Today you’re heading to Winston-Salem, a city where history and creativity go hand-in-hand. Step back in time in Old Salem, a beautifully restored Moravian town with cobbled streets and living history. Discover fascinating exhibits at Reynolda House Museum of American Art or sip your way through a local wine tasting.

• Day 7–9: Carolina Beach – Sun, Sea & Southern Comfort

  It’s beach time! Wind your way to the coast for three relaxing nights in Carolina Beach. Think long walks on golden sands, seafood shacks serving up the freshest catch, and colourful beach town vibes. Try your hand at surfing or paddleboarding, explore Carolina Beach State Park, or just enjoy a slow afternoon at the vintage Carolina Beach Boardwalk

• Day 10: Charlotte – Back for One Last Hurrah

  Wrap up your North Carolina adventure with one final night in Charlotte. Squeeze in a bit of last-minute shopping, toast your trip at a rooftop bar, or simply enjoy a relaxed stroll through one of the city’s green spaces. It’s the perfect end to a journey filled with stories, snapshots, and unforgettable Southern charm.

• Day 10: Charleston – Final Night in Style

  Head back to Charleston for one last night of Southern elegance. Squeeze in any final sightseeing, shopping or maybe even a ghost tour to end your trip with a spooky twist, before enjoying a farewell dinner in the historic district. You fly back to the UK the next day.
