May 2, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Topnotch golf courses, art galleries and seals share the dramatic oceanside landscape of La Jolla, an affluent community 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. Swimmers, snorkelers and kayakers dip into La Jolla Cove, where the protected waters shield an abundance of bright orange Garibaldi fish and sea caves indent the cliffs. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the family-friendly Birch Aquarium and the acclaimed La Jolla Playhouse deliver breaks from the sun.

This tour is unique because I am unique. I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything quite as awesome as flying into San Diego bay at 500 ft. I promise to give you the full VIP treatment. It is my job to do so when I fly corporate aircraft.

Inclusions: If you request to, you may also fly the airplane with my guidance.

We had a fabulous day in San Diego today with Joseph from Best Coast Tours. Even though there were only the two of us on the tour, they didn’t cancel on us....thankfully! Joseph was a great tour guide with a great deal of knowledge of the area we were visiting. He incorporated so much into the one day. We saw Balboa Park, Old Town, Mount Soledad Park, Sea lions & the Hotel Del Coronado....plenty of time to explore at each stop. Loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to book with these guys again.
