“Sailing on along the Pacific Coast doesn’t get much better than that! If that isn’t fantastic enough…and then we saw 3 dolphin as we sipped a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and nibbled French bread and cheese. It was our very own Private Los Angeles tour and one of the most memorable events of our lives. (I can still feel the boat swaying and the ocean breeze in my hair!) Thank you Bikes and Hikes!” – Noelle R.

Loved all the snippets of information that Todd had and his iPad pictures gave us another dimension. He was super friendly and very easy to spend a couple of hours with. Totally recommend.” – Read more
