Top Newport Beach Dining Experiences

Cruise off the coast of Orange County in search of whales on this excursion from Newport Beach. Watch the rugged, beautiful scenery of the Pacific Coast glide by as you listen to interesting commentary from your crew about the native California marine life. Watch for blows and tail slaps; these signals indicate that humpback, minke, grey, finback, or giant blue whales are nearby. Dolphins and other marine life are also in abundance during this family-friendly, year-round whale watching tour.

Northern California is usually what comes to mind when talking about the state’s wine country, but you can imbibe at Orange County wineries with similar fanfare.

Sample award-winning wines, see the largest wine cave in the area, and tuck into a charcuterie board all in one day. The tour also passes by the famous Wilson Creek Winery without stopping.
