What are people saying about California

Brian_A, Oct 2026

Fun experience with actual whale sightings

Fun experience, knowledgeable guides, and actual sightings of whales, dolphins, and sharks. If you want to love aquatic life and want to actually see some wildlife and have fun. I recommend this cruise. It’s about 2-2.5 hours long but the hosts are very knowledgeable and can answer all questions

Explore Palm Springs Celebrity Homes in Style

raymond_r, Oct 2026

Best part of our trip

We really loved it. The owner gave us the personal tour. We actually toured Marilyn Monroe’s house. He’s knowledgeable and passionate about film and history. Plus if you ever get a dui he can help because he is a great lawyer in his professional life. We loved it.

Monterey Whale Watching Tour

Shayne_C, Oct 2026

Great tour!

An absolute 10/10 ocean adventure! We took the 6:30 PM evening tour and were blown away. The golden-hour light over the bay was stunning, and the marine life did not disappoint—we saw humpback whales breaching and tail-slapping along with massive groups of sea lions. The naturalists on board were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and kept everyone informed throughout the trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the California coast!

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

HeatherB, Oct 2026

Loved Emerald Bay cruise

Be prepared for wind so that you can sit outside. But don’t worry, there is plenty of inside seating. The audio was great - relevant, interesting commentary, fun music, and not too loud. The food looked YUMMY and they have a variety of beverages. Great event!

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight over the Temecula Wine Country

Terry_R, Sep 2026

Outstanding

We loved watching the process of the balloon being prepared to rise. I had never seen a balloon stand up, so it could float over our world. Our pilot Bill was wonderful and very professional (and funny.) I don't know the names of the setup crew but they were all very precise and professional, and friendly. The ride itself could not have been any better. And the mimosas were icing on the top.

Yellow Semi-Submarine Tour of Catalina Island From Avalon

Kenci_M, Sep 2026

Fun!

This was a wonderful experience with my husband. This is something I plan on doing with my nieces and nephews in the future because it’s kid friendly!You get to see alot of fish and you have the option to buy fish food price ranging from $5-$22. We had to opportunity to see a huge sea turtle. At the end of the tour you are on the top of the submarine (it’s a semi submarine) and it’s an amazing view!!! My suggestion would be to do more than one activity. There is a lot to pick from. You can pick your activities on this website but you need to go to the place and have your tickets printed out. You can also buy tickets on the island (may sell out).

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Devika_M, Sep 2026

Amazing experience

Was a great experience! Maddy was a fantastic tour guide; experienced, and very helpful for a newbie to sea kayaking like myself, helping to navigate waves, etc. I appreciated her dad jokes 😃. We saw sea lions in the water and up on the rocks and took a trip through the caves. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

Wine Country Join-in Flight

Mashawn_K, Jul 2026

Experience of a lifetime

This was an experience of a lifetime. Nacho was an amazing pilot. He taught us so much about the different types of crops in Napa Valley and he taught us about the ballon itself. He was so patient and knowledgeable about the Valley and a very experienced pilot. I would definitely recommend this ballon ride to anyone.
