    5.0· 3 reviews

    Rent an electric Duffy boat for up to 12 passengers — cruise Newport Harbor at your own pace with maps and safety gear provided.

    We had a fantastic day. Andy welcomed us at the dock and provided a tour of the boat, its controls, and shared some route suggestions. After bringing a picnic, we enjoyed a lovely time on the water. We will definitely bring our family next time they're in town; it was a wonderful experience. The OC team was amazing, and the boat was clean and easy to handle, plus we loved the shaded roof. It was truly a great day.jaydD8941DR

    Eight days visiting four national parks and two Native Tribal Parks, including three days in Yellowstone and luxury accommodations in Las Vegas.

    Our trip was truly memorable thanks to Brian Li and our driver Meng. We visited numerous locations, and Brian was an exceptional guide, managing the chaotic group effectively. We felt for him, but he handled everything wonderfully. We'll definitely recommend this tour to others.Serine_L
  3. Guided kayak tour in Huntington Harbour, Newport Beach3

    3. Guided kayak tour in Huntington Harbour

    5.0· 1 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Ninety-minute tour through Huntington Harbour's canals, perfect for families and beginners, featuring local wildlife and insights into the area's history.

    The tour around the harbor was really laid-back. Our guide Tom, a local resident, was enjoyable to converse with. He shared the harbor's history, explaining its changes over his 35 years there, pointed out interesting houses, and talked about some of the yachts we encountered. I highly recommend it for a relaxed few hours or as a pleasant way to soak up the sun.Warren_J
