Southern California Beaches
6 DAYS Starting from $3,190 per person
Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of The Golden State on this 6-day Southern California Beaches expedition. First, get to know Los Angeles from the inside, spending a full day getting active on LA’s many whitesand beaches (Santa Monica, Malibu, Venice Beach) and another experiencing Tinseltown on a one-of-a-kind Hollywood and Koreatown tour. Then, take a leisurely drive – stopping at Laguna Beach, Manhattan Beach and the Aquarium of the Pacific en route – to sun-kissed San Diego for fish tacos on the beach. By the time you leave, you’ll be surfing, shopping and star-spotting like a local.
