OC Hike and Bike Day Tour

Bolsa Chica Wetlands: Birdwatching

Start your day with a peaceful hike through the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, a serene coastal wetland teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. As you traverse the trails, have the chance to spot a variety of birds, from herons to egrets, in their natural habitat. The marshland’s tranquil atmosphere and sweeping views of the wetlands create the perfect setting to connect with nature and appreciate this unique ecosystem. Bring your binoculars for some unforgettable birdwatching moments.

Newport Beach Biking

Feel the ocean breeze as you cycle past sandy shores, charming beach houses, and sparkling blue waters. Midway through, stop for a relaxing lunch at a local eatery, giving you time to savor delicious coastal cuisine while soaking in the Newport vibe in Balboa Island.

Laguna Beach

Wrap up the day in Laguna Beach, a haven for artists and nature lovers. Wander through the charming downtown area, filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and unique finds. Then, head to a scenic vantage point to catch the breathtaking sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Watch the sky light up in vibrant hues as the sun dips below the horizon, creating a magical moment to remember.
