About This Adventure

Explore the vibrant charm of Laguna Beach on a private tour led by a local guide. Discover stunning street art, breathtaking ocean views from Heisler Park, and the town's rich artistic heritage. Enjoy stories of conservation and the California lifestyle, with opportunities to visit galleries and savor a picturesque sunset.

Laguna Beach is historically a hippie enclave, a Hollywood movie set, and a vibrant city with both beach life and incredible artwork scattered throughout. On a private tour with one of our local guides, you’ll get to admire street art produced by local artists and soak in the gorgeous views as you stroll through the park paths high above the shoreline.

Heisler Park is an idyllic place to enjoy ocean vistas while you hear stories of the town’s founding and get to know the story behind the natural beauty of the Laguna Canyon. You’ll enjoy the many sculptures that dot the park, some inspired by the very nature surrounding them. From our vantage point, your guide will point out some true nature and maybe inspire you with stories of successful conservation efforts throughout the canyon and nearby coves. On the Main Beach, we’ll be sure to pass by the much-photographed Lifeguard Tower and learn all about the California lifestyle.

In the downtown district of Laguna Beach, your guide will introduce you to the town’s thriving Art community. You’ll hear about annual arts and music festivals that take place here, and maybe even experience one first hand if you time your trip right!

Feel free to pop into one of the many galleries lining the street or stop at a local café housed inside an art gallery. By the time your tour finishes, you might want to head back to your favorite galleries for more shopping or head to the beach and enjoy a one-of-a-kind California sunset!
