Bike Tour Dana Harbor
Experience the majesty of ocean, canyon and rolling hill vistas as you take a ride along the coast. The bike path winds inland leading guests into a beautiful canyon before resting at Chapparosa Park. The tour continues back towards Dana Point so you’ll enjoy the views of the harbor before you cruise back to the hotel.
Segway Tours
Experience the fun and adventure of gliding along on your very own Segway personal transporter. This self-balancing device, accomplished by gyroscopes and the technology of dynamic stabilization, has created an entirely new category of personal mobility. While Segwaying on the coast, enjoy a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Miles of unobstructed pristine beach and parks are accentuated by the backdrop of the beautiful Dana Point Harbor.
Laguna Excursion

Laguna features several dozen unique galleries, showcasing everything from regional impressionism and sculpture to handcrafted glasswork and jewelry. Laguna’s Forest Avenue is well known throughout Southern California as the place to find custom crafts and unique curiosities. Few are able to resist the fine quality, imported Italian and Greek Majolica wares from Fiori or the incredible glasswork of Georgeo.
Kayaking
Depart from the hotel for two hours of paddling in Dana Point Harbor where you’ll learn about the birds, sea animals, geology and the fascinating history of pirates and explorers of the California coastline area. You can stay warm and dry in the comfortable touring kayaks, but, as always, be ready to get your feet wet. Both single and double kayaks are available.

Sailing
Experience the thrill of sailing the Pacific waters along the California Riviera. A unique sailing vessel, the Alden Schooner “Curlew”, awaits your command.
