Virgin Atlantic/Bedsonline/Worldchoice California Fam - Hotel site inspections and electric bike tour of Newport Beach

After a site inspection of the Island Hotel -our host hotel, we walked to the nearby Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa for breakfast al fresco on the outdoor terrace with coastal views, followed by a site inspection of the facilities including the spa, fitness centre, spacious rooms and conference venues. Then we travelled to Corona del Mar where we each picked up an electric bike for a three hour guided tour which took in the historic Balboa Island with its quant shops and restaurants. We took the 10 minute ferry ride across Newport Harbour for a leisurely ride to the tip of the peninsula passing some of the most beautiful homes in Newport Beach. Our ride took us through the million dollar neighbourhoods of Corona del Mar Village and along Ocean Boulevard where the beaches and panoramic views are stunning. We all agreed it was one of the main highlights of our very enjoyable visit to Newport Beach and well worth recommending to your clients. Afterwards we left Newport Beach for the one hour 15 minute drive to Los Angeles for the next part of our California tour.
