The Newport Back Bay Loop Tour follows the 10.5-mile Upper Newport Bay trail, offering stops at parks and educational centers for nature viewing. The Corona Del Mar - Crystal Cove Tour travels from Balboa Island along Pacific Coast Highway to the National Historic District at Crystal Cove, where historic 1920s and 1930s cottages and local eateries like Ruby’s Shake Shack and the Beachcomber Cafe are highlights. All tours are designed as approximately two-hour outings, delivering scenic coastal views, local history, and accessible e-bike riding for a range of abilities.
