Highlights
Spotlight on South Dakota featuring Mount Rushmore & The Badlands

Mount Rushmore
Mount Rushmore is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore near Keystone, South Dakota. Mt. Rushmore features 60-foot sculptures of the heads of four U.S. Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The faces were sculpted between 1934 and 1939. Mt. Rushmore attracts more than 2 million people annually.

Badlands National Park
Badlands National Park is a national park in southwestern South Dakota that protects 242,756 acres of chiseled spires, deep canyons and prairie grassland in the state. The name comes from the difficult travels over the rough terrain said to be ‘bad land.’ The geologic deposits here contain one of the world’s richest fossil beds. Today, bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs and black footed ferrets live here.

Wall Drug
The Wall Drug Store is a tourist attraction located in the city of Wall, South Dakota. It is a shopping mall consisting of a drug store, gift shop, restaurants and other stores. Unlike a traditional shopping mall, all the stores at Wall Drug operate under a single entity rather than individually run stores. The mall takes in over $10 million a year and brings in over 2 million visitors annually.

Deadwood
Deadwood is a city in South Dakota that is named after the dead trees found in its valley. Deadwood became a popular destination during the Black Hills Gold rush in the mid to late 1870s when prospectors discovered gold. The town's population quickly swelled as folks came seeking their fortune. Today, Deadwood maintians its historic roots, and instead of gold, folks come to get a taste of life in the Wild West.

Crazy Horse Memorial
Crazy Horse Memorial, the world’s largest mountain sculpture now in progress, is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The nine-story-high face of Crazy Horse, a visionary leader committed to preserving the traditions and values of the Lakota way of life, was completed in 1998 when work shifted to the 22-story-high massive horse’s head. The work was begun in 1948 by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski at the request of Native Americans. Korczak determined that the memorial would be more than just a sculpture…it would be a humanitarian project telling present and future generations the story of Native American peoples by collecting and preserving outstanding examples of Indian culture and heritage. Visitors to the memorial can view the progress of the sculpture as well as tour an Indian museum, cultural center, the sculptor’s studio and orientation center. Although Korczak died in 1982, his wife, Ruth, and their family continue the project working with the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation.

Travel Worry-Free

Every moment of travel is important to us.

Whether it’s helping you select your perfect dream destination, giving you a ride to and from the airport in a sleek black sedan, offering the security of our unrivalled Travel Protection plan or 24-7 support, we are with you every step of the way to make sure everything is perfect.

We don’t think of guided travel as a business. We think of it as a great honor and privilege to be able to share what’s so wonderful about the world with our guests. Since it’s so personal for us, we treat each and every traveler as a valued friend. We want you to sit back and let us handle all the details so you can have the time of your life.

Guaranteed to Go

We have guaranteed thousands of tour departure dates across over 170 of our tours. This means that you can book your tour with peace of mind knowing that it will depart as planned and your departure date will not change.

Travel Protection

We understand that life happens and sometimes plans change, so we don’t want you to book with us only to be socked with fees if you have to cancel your trip. That just adds insult to injury! That’s why we offer an industry leading travel protection plan that offers you a full refund, less the cost of the plan. Cancel for any reason right up to the day before your departure.

Sedan Service

Getting to and from the airport can be the most stressful and difficult part of any trip. Start and end your adventure in hassle-free luxury with our private sedan that comes straight to your door, loads your bags and whisks you off to the airport and back home again when you return. Now that’s how to start and end a trip the right way.

Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility: It's a way of life

It’s at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We believe that travel should be a force for good and by uniting with our employees, partners and travelers, we can make a positive impact in our local and global communities.

Our Mission

Social Responsibility at Collette means working together to take care of the places we live, work and travel. We focus on four key areas – Community, People, Travel and Planet – taking a holistic approach by striving to do good in every area of our business.

COMMUNITY

Our nonprofit, the Collette Foundation, supports worldwide communities in need through hunger and education initiatives. Each year, employees volunteer more than 4,500 hours of their time to efforts in their own communities and across the world.

TRAVEL

We strive to create an experience our guests not only enjoy, but also feel good about. We work to sustain and preserve communities, cultures, and traditions through tourism, and positively impact the places we come to know as travelers.

PEOPLE

We couldn’t deliver the amazing travel experiences that we do without our incredible team. We offer our employees a variety of tools to be happy, healthy, and successful including learning and growth opportunities.

PLANET

Our world is filled with awe-inspiring natural wonders. That’s why we are actively making responsible decisions to reduce our carbon footprint and care for our planet, the place we all call home.

Multigenerational Travel

Focus on family. We’ll handle the rest.

There are countless benefits to family travel. Experiencing new things together. Taking time to enjoy each other’s company without life’s typical distractions. Connecting with loved ones who don’t live near us.

No matter why you decide to travel together, or where you choose to go, spending quality time with family should be the only thing that matters. That’s why families book Collette tours – to let experts take care of all the details.

Why Book Your Multigenerational Family Trip with Collette?

Making Memories Together
Unique experiences are made richer with family by your side. And the journey lives on through memories retold. Do you remember that game drive with Grandma? We came so close to the elephants!

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Planning a trip is hard work. Organizing the Blarney Stone visit? Finding a ride to the river cruise in Costa Rica? That stuff takes away from your time to focus on each other. Let us handle the logistics.

Learning From Each Other
Traveling with family is the best game of trivia. From architectural features to history, the facts your family memers have tucked away may surprise you. (And your Tour Manager can fill in any gaps!)

Exploring Your Ancestry
Cultural heritage forms our family traditions and beliefs. Tracing your family's roots is powerful. There's no better way to discover these countries than with your family. Go together, with an expert by your side.

Authentic Experiences
Experience destinations like the locals do - with less hustle and more room to appreciate the beauty around you.

More Sustainable
Low season travel reduces the strain on a destination’s resources, meaning less waste and lower pollution levels.
