We enjoyed the beach tour. Small group was nice. We got a good amount of time at 3 beaches. Rick was very accommodating, tailored the tour to suit our needs. We wanted more beach time and less time shopping. 1st stop, got some great pics of Laguna beach. Spent 3+ hours at Newport Beach. Took a short ferry ride ($2pp) to Balboa Island. Walked around and had lunch. Then, came back and spent the rest of our time at the beach. Last stop, we spent 2hrs at Huntington Beach. There are shops around and food options if needed. Great way to visit multiple beaches.

With young children we had adequate time to explore each beach and enjoy time with our family. The small size of the group was nice and the van was comfortable.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you, Vicky!
We love our OC Beach Tour! You do get plenty of time at 2 of the beaches (about 3 hours each) and keep our vans clean, safe and comfortable
Thank you for trusting us with your day!

Great experience, enough time to explore, the driver was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The vehicle we were picked up in was luxurious and a comfortable ride.

Being on the beaches I grew up going to with my new husband. I grew up in California and hadn’t been here since 2017. The beach is my happy place. I could sit and listen to the waves crash forever. Being able to do that with my new husband was amazing.

We love our Beach Tour and are so pleased you found us on line and chose our company. Laguna Beach is beautiful, for sure.
Thank you for sharing the day with us and for the kind review!

Tour Guide Brooke was courteous and responsive ahead of our trip with phone check-in and directions to a meeting place within the pickup area. The tour took us from Anaheim to Laguna, Newport, and Huntington Beaches, all with personable commentary, history, and background information that added depth and fun to a fulfilling day of possibilities and exploration. The tour's best feature is its flexibility to accommodate what you CHOOSE from several options at each stop. Variety abounded, especially at Newport where visitors can opt for Ferry rides to and from Balboa and/or a great number of food choices and hangouts. You'll spend from 30 minutes to several hours at each location and can tailor the activity and exploration levels to your liking. Our tour guide was quick to respond by text if we had questions after drop-off, plus knew several alternatives if routes were congested. Highly recommended as a well-paced showcase of Orange County Beaches.

My family really enjoyed our OC Beach Bus Tour. Cody was always on time, friendly and able to give us information and advice about our stops. I would definitely recommend this tour as an introduction to the OC's best beaches!
