Southern California Beaches & Channel Islands Expedition

8 DAYS Starting from $6,290 per person

Soak up the sun, sand and salt on this languid 8-day Southern California Beaches and Channel Islands Expedition. First spend a few days immersing yourself in the glitz and glamor of the City of Angels, taking in two of LA’s hottest beaches on a cycle tour and then scratching the surface of Hollywood and Koreatown with a local expert. Next embark on a 4-night, all-inclusive cruise of the natural wonderland that is the Channel Islands National Park. As well as enjoying everything your luxurious dreamboat has to offer and soaking up the serenity of the Pacific Ocean, you’ll also take time out to hike to historic Anacapa Lighthouse, to explore an ecologically important pine grove, and to delve into the shady past of vibrant Santa Catalina Island.
