Itinerary

Coronado Bridge
Pass by

Built in 1969, the Coronado Bridge spans more than 11,000 feet and rises 200ft at maximum clearance. At its base on the San Diego side sits the Chicano Park, and the bridge is easily visible from both the coast and the air. It's now as synonumous with San Diego as the Golden Gate bridge is with San Francisco.

The Coronado Ferry Landing
Pass by

Located at the heart of Coronado Island, it's a great place to start on Coronado Island. The Center provides complimentary brochures and travel information to everyone who stops by.

30 min

A living legend for more than 130 years, The Del celebrates its rich history as the proud host to celebrities, royalty, U.S. Presidents, and beach-loving guests for generations. Built in 1888 by Elisha Babcock, Jr., and Hampton L. Story and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977, this historic beach resort is a San Diego icon.

Coronado Island
Admission included60 min

"The Crowned One" in Spanish, Coronado island is a jewel of the coast. Surrounded by silvery mica-laced beaches, and full of art galleries, small shops, and renowned restaurants, it is a beach paradise. The island has been attracting visitors since before the 1880s and is a must-see for any vacationer looking for that SoCal beach experience.

15 min

My mom and I did the E-Bike tour with Adam while visiting San Diego and it was awesome to see more of the residential part of Coronado island and explore a major portion of the island. The ferry ride over to Coronado is a bonus!

Perfect way to get to know Coronado

We really enjoyed our time with Jeff. We were lucky that it was just my wife and myself on the tour so it seemed like we were just having an interesting conversation about Coronado. We learned a lot without feeling like we were at a lecture.

Dear Skip, Thank you so much for this outstanding review. Jeff is a super awesome guide and we are thrilled at the feedback that you had about your tour with him, although not at all surprised. We never try to lecture to our guests...just the opposite in fact...we treat you like our family. We are so happy that you booked with us and that you had such a great time on tour. We look forward to hosting you on "another" fun tour again soon down here in San Diego or at our office in LA. Have a fabulous rest of your summer and safe travels too!!! All The Best, Kenneth
