San Diego

Nicknamed ‘America’s Finest City’ San Diego certainly is a great family vacation destination and is perfect for visiting at any time of the year due to its fabulous climate!

Being situated on the Pacific Ocean water plays a central role for many visitors to San Diego, whether you enjoy getting out on the water or just admiring it, this is a great city in which to do both! There are also water-based themed attractions that are especially great for the whole family to enjoy. San Diego Zoo is one of the city’s top attractions and is well known for being one of the USA’s top zoos! It covers over 100 acres and always has an interesting animal show of one kind or another to watch and learn from.

Sea World is also top of many visitor’s lists, offering not only shows and exhibits but interaction with numerous different creatures of the sea. And let’s not forget the famous Shamu! Combine the sea life with the thrilling theme park rides and this is bound to be a family hit!

Once you’ve had enough of looking at the ocean why not get out there?! We can set you up with a variety of activities so if you’ve ever wanted to try surfing, now’s the time! How about a lesson before you take to the waves, or consider one of the other water sports you can try here – boogie boarding, body surfing, or kayaking.

Another way to see the city and the ocean is on a boat cruise and there are several options that we can arrange for you: The Harbor Tour gives you great city views and an interesting narrative, while the extended Nature Cruise takes you out to the islands and offers great wildlife viewing opportunities. The Whale Watching cruise is the best if you’re hoping to see some whales though! Whichever one appeals to you let us know and we can fit this into your road trip itinerary.
