Spend a whole day soaking up the best of Orange County with this easygoing Whale Watching & Beach Tour. Start your day with a morning pickup from Anaheim Resort, then cruise down the coast to Laguna Beach. Snap a few photos with the ocean behind you – this is the kind of spot that makes your camera beg for attention. From there, it’s off to the iconic Newport Beach. Here’s where the real adventure begins: a 2-hour whale watching trip aboard a two-deck ship. Whether you’re glued to the upper deck or peeking through the windows below, keep your eyes open for playful dolphins and majestic whales.

After your marine fix, it’s time to kick back at Huntington Beach. Known as “Surf City USA,” it offers a little bit of everything – from the legendary pier stretching into the Pacific, to quirky shops, surfboard rentals, and casual beachfront eats. Explore the International Surfing Museum, stroll Main Street, or simply sink your toes into the sand. This tour packs in the perfect mix of sightseeing, relaxation, and salty ocean breezes – ideal for families, couples, or solo explorers looking for a laid-back yet unforgettable day in Orange County.
