Great tour

Curiosity55464607903, May 2026

Our tour guide, Rick, was awesome. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The sights and amount of time at each was great. Highly recommend this tour.

Great introduction to the area- Rick is THE BEST

Laguna Beach was our favorite stop of the day. The beaches were breathtakingly beautiful, and the landscape was so scenic and aesthetic. It was easily one of the most beautiful places we visited. The whale excursion was also a highlight. We saw fin whales, common dolphins, and even a sea lion. The weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even better. Rick truly made the tour stand out. He was friendly, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to share about each location, and his guidance made the day feel smooth, enjoyable, and well organized. Overall, it was a great experience and a wonderful way to see the beauty of Orange County.

Beautiful beaches and whales!

Beautiful southern California locales. We saw a gray whale mother and calf, two fin whales and sea lions! The boat ride was lovely, and Cody was a nice, prompt driver.

We went to three beaches...

Steve_D, Apr 2026

We went to three beaches and had plenty of time to explore them on our own although our guide gave us excellent suggestions on what to see and do. We were lucky on our 2 hour whale watching portion of the trip. We saw 4 whales and stayed with them for a good period of time.
