Yamaha Motor Corp. USA recently expanded the “Yamaha Destinations” program with some new locations throughout the country. Let’s get a closer look at the new Destination Yamaha Motor Experiences and what this means for you.
And FYI, we’re not sponsored by or affiliated with Yamaha. We just think this sounds like a great way to spend a weekend!
What is Destination Yamaha?
This online travel platform is geared at anyone with a desire for adventure and a passion for discovering new things. The company offers a full range of Yamaha UTVs for a myriad of exciting experiences.
The great thing about this program is that anyone can participate. You don’t have to be an Instagram influencer or even own a Yamaha to join in the fun. The company provides their own highly experienced tour guides to take you on the journey of a lifetime.
Everything is planned out meticulously to ensure a memorable riding experience. If you’ve never participated in an adventure like this before, let’s look at some of the new experiences for 2019 that will take you to places you’ve always dreamed about.
What are the New Experiences from Yamaha?
With its newest lineup of adventure vehicles and diverse locations, Destination Yamaha Motor has some amazing opportunities for individuals and families to experience. You can see all of the new locations and details at their website DestinationYamahaUSA.com.
The 2019 ride destinations include Moab, Alaska, the Appalachians of Tennessee, Las Vegas, the Black Hills, and West Virginia. These newest ready-built Yamaha adventures make getting outdoors even more exciting by throwing a group of riders into the mix. Each location offers an experience all its own.
Warm-Blooded? Try Florida
For example, the Ocala National Forest Experience in Orlando gives riders access to amazing trails, numerous campgrounds, and over 600 lakes, springs, and rivers. In your journey through the Sand Pine Scrub forest, you might encounter wildlife such as alligators, black bears, wild boar and white-tailed deer. Luckily, your Yamaha will be faster than all of them.
Cold-Blooded? Try Alaska
If Florida is too far south for you, another Yamaha experience is located in chilly Anchorage, Alaska. Here you can drive a fitting Yamaha Kodiak 450 or expansive Viking VI EPS to explore the mountains, wildlife and scenery of Alaska. That’s a recipe that never gets old.
Get Off the Beaten Path
You should also consider locations that wouldn’t have previously been on your radar. For example, Yamaha offers a Northern Outdoor Adventure in Isle, Minnesota. This experience combines quaint cabins, stunning custom homes, and themed hotels for a full vacation destination. It’s located across from the Soo Line ATV Trail so you can ride all day and never see the same thing twice. Enjoy sights like the Ten Bruin, the Foxy, and the Red Top during the trip. Are those natural phenomena? Buildings? Jumps? You’ll have to find out for yourself.
Throughout your experience, you can also dock a boat, rent a canoe or just enjoy a day at the Mille Lacs Lake. You can also rent a huge pontoon boat that can hold up to 30 people if you want to travel as a group. And it doesn’t even have to be Yamaha-powered, but that would be fitting, wouldn’t it?
Is there an adventure in your future?
With all these locations open to you, we are curious to know if you are preparing an adventure in the future. Would you prefer to spend time riding the trails in Oliver Springs, TN or do you want to spend your days seeing another side of Las Vegas, NV? Let us know in the comments.
If you’ve attended one of these events, we’d love to chat with you. Contact us directly to be featured in an upcoming article.
