Wildlife and Beach Eco-Tour: Tide Pools or a Nature Preserve

Southern California is home to much natural beauty and wildlife, especially along the Pacific coast. The Wildlife and Beach Eco-Tour from Anaheim offers you the choice of exploring either coastal tide pools or a nature preserve, so you can see the wildlife and ecosystems that most interest you. Both tours will take you to the coast, so you can enjoy the beauty of Orange County’s beaches and wildlife, including visiting one or two hidden coves where you’ll get wonderful views of the Pacific and see seals and sea lions.

A donation to the non-profit organization Pacific Marine Mammal Center is included. Thank you for helping make a difference in the lives of saving marine mammals!

While you’re in Anaheim, don’t spend all your time inland! You don’t want to miss a chance to see Southern California’s stunning coastline and wonderful wildlife in Orange County. On the Wildlife and Beach Eco-Tour, you have your choice of exploring either coastal tide pools or a nature preserve.

After being picked up from your Anaheim hotel, you’ll take a short drive to the Pacific Ocean coastline in Orange County – so beautiful it’s often called the “California Riviera.” Both tour options include seal- and sea lion-spotting along the coast.
