Description
Find Luxury on the Beach in San Diego or Santa Monica, California, or on the Big Island, Hawaii for Four Days & Three Nights for Two, Including Two Guided Destination Tours in California and One in Hawaii (Land Only)
Pack your bags for paradise when you visit one of three exceptional resort destinations, from the Mediterranean climate of sun-kissed San Diego to the glamour of Santa Monica, as well as the aloha spirit of Hawaii. Endless sunshine and ocean breezes await you in the Pacific paradise of San Diego, known for its museums, Spanish Colonial architecture and beautiful beaches, while a little way up the coast is the charming Southern California beach destination of Santa Monica, with its glamorous reputation for a vibrant, warm, and relaxing atmosphere. On the Big Island of Hawaii, you can enjoy a breathtaking range of tantalizing tropical experiences, from fresh fragrant air to stunning aquamarine waters, from lush rainforests to pristine white-sand beaches.
Make the most of San Diego's mild climate, 266 sunny days per year and gorgeous ocean views by exploring the city on water and on land! Experience the San Diego downtown skyline and bay from aboard a beautiful Catalina sailboat on a personal tour, and then visit La Jolla and ride to the summit of Mount Soledad with a 2.5-hour guided tour via electric bike! Enjoy the flexibility of your motor assisted bike, so you can pedal up hills or simply cruise along the road as you tour La Jolla with your local guide. Take in sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from Mount Soledad, then steer back to the water's edge to explore the glamorous community's most iconic spots, from a surfing beach with a raucous sea lion colony to elegant streets packed with upscale boutiques and cafés. Experience luxury San Diego hotel accommodations at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar golf resort and spa. Serenely nestled amidst Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, Fairmont Grand Del Mar is the perfect place to relax, soak, dine and immerse yourself in the comfort of this private and tranquil Southern California retreat.
From the Hollywood sign to the celebrity mansions of Beverly Hills, Los Angles is so full of iconic sights it can be tricky to see them all. Fortunately you can look forward to a full-day tour of LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the beaches, seamlessly transporting you by coach to all of the city's top attractions — including Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, The Grove, Griffith Park, Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Sunset Strip — so that you don't need to worry about missing a thing! Next, your electric bike tour will take you from Santa Monica to Venice and Marina del Rey, along the coast. Make several rest stops along the way to see the Santa Monica Pier, Muscle Beach, and the Venice Boardwalk. Long known as a gathering place for artists and surfers, as well as a luxurious hideaway for celebrities like Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe, the lavish Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows will be your grand retreat, where you'll experience all the magnificent moments this sun-drenched city has to offer.
Delve into Hawaii's history and prepare to get wet on a full-day waterfall adventure tour of the Big Island's Kohala coast! Begin with a drive up the Kona coastline past lava flows, and take in sweeping views from the old Kohala Mule Station lookout. Rumble through the rugged landscape in an off-road vehicle and hike along the tunnels and aqueducts of a historic sugar plantation. As you pass through the charming plantation towns of Hawi and Kapaau, keep an eye out for large marine wildlife offshore, including spinner dolphins and humpback whales! Admire the seven Kohala waterfalls and cool off with a dip under the final cascade. You'll never forget the moment you first experience the immense splendor of Hawaii, or the Big Island. Brimming with awe-inspiring beauty, this incredible tropical oasis offers spirited travelers a scintillating spectrum of natural wonders, from active volcanoes and lush rainforests to aquamarine waves and sparkling beaches. Let the luxurious Fairmont Orchid be your gateway to the ultimate Hawaiian escape.
