Logistics Expertise Meets Luxury Travel
Coast & Trail Luxury Travel was founded on a simple belief: planning a remarkable trip shouldn't feel like a second job.
I'm John McManaman, and I bring over a decade of logistics and route planning experience to every itinerary I create. What does trucking have to do with luxury travel? Everything.
Logistics is problem-solving before problems happen.
It's knowing that a 6 PM dinner reservation doesn't work when you're landing at 4:30 PM on an international flight. It's building in weather contingencies. It's understanding that the shortest route isn't always the best route. It's obsessing over details so you don't have to.
After years of planning complex routes and managing time-sensitive deliveries, I've applied that same precision to creating seamless travel experiences.
Why Japan?
Japan is one of the most rewarding (and most overwhelming) destinations for Western travelers. The language barrier, cultural nuances, transportation systems, and sheer volume of choices can turn dream trips into stressful planning marathons.
As a JNTO-certified travel professional, I'm dedicating my expertise to helping busy professionals and families experience Japan without the overwhelm.
