If you're reading this, it's likely because you've never been to California before. Or maybe you haven't been back in a while and you want to give the state another shot. Whatever your travel reason, I want to assist you as your Orange County travel agent advisor . There are plenty of outdoor activities at your disposal from hiking to biking and kayaking or jet skiing at the lake. Close to Los Angeles , Orange County offers several attractions that are well worth the travel time.
Exploring Huntington City Beach
Huntington City Beach is one of four cities that make up Orange County (OC). Otherwise known as “Surf City USA,” Huntington Beach is one impressive OC attraction. You can surf some amazing waves or play a game of beach volleyball. If you're a beach lover, this is the place to be. You'll also love viewing the sunset from this popular California shoreline. Take a walk down the pier for a memorable sunset experience.
Visiting Mickey and Minnie
The “Happiest Place on Earth,” or Disneyland is also part of Orange County. If you're seeking a family adventure, this is one place you don't want to miss. Make a splash at Splash Mountain, or take part in a Star Tours. Meet Mickey and Minnie and go back to being a kid again. I can make trip planning a breeze by booking a stay for you at one of Disneyland's upscale resort accommodations. Taking a break from the hustle-and-bustle of life is well worth it when you can escape to the Magic Kingdom.
Hiking the El Moro Canyon Loop
If you love to hike, you're in for a treat in Orange County. The Moro Canyon Loop, which is close to Laguna Beach, is fairly easy to trek and about 5 miles in length. Besides hiking, you can also horseback ride on the well-worn path. If you choose to hike, I recommend a solid and comfortable pair of hiking boots. Also, check the weather forecast before you go to ensure you're safeguarded from the elements. If you visit during the summer and spring, you'll be rewarded with lovely wildflowers and spectacular views of the blue ocean. If anyone dares to tell you to “take a hike,” make sure you head toward El Moro Canyon Loop. Besides El Moro Canyon Loop, there are many places to explore in Orange County, California that are great for “taking a hike.” Parks in the locale feature hiking trails in the nearby mountains. You'll also love combing the shores for shells or relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze.
Visiting the Museums and Gardens
If you love art, you can find plenty of museums that will meet your interests in this regard. Or if you like horticulture, check out the county's botanical gardens and parks. Museums and gardens feature free admission on certain days of the week, which allows you to save money for souvenirs of your trip.
Checking Out the Bars and Club
If you're seeking nightlife entertainment, you can find it in Orange County. Whether you're looking for a rock bar or a more relaxed lounge, there are plenty of places in and near Orange County that offer a variety of night time options. Most bars around Orange County offer discounted or free admission on certain days of the week. Anyone looking for fun or adventure can find plenty of things to do on their own or with their kids in Orange County.

San Diego Area Travel Agent Specialist
I’m a travel agent professional who takes my job seriously. That means I can plan an exciting and fun vacation for you to San Diego. From the moment you land, you’ll be glad that you’ve included this city on your bucket list of travel adventures. This Pacific coastal city is known for its beaches and warm climate as well as Balboa Park and the renowned San Diego Zoo. You can also find gardens, art galleries, and museums. The San Diego harbor features the USS Midway - an aircraft carrier that has been converted into a public museum. Indeed, if you visit San Diego, you can see a large list of attractions.
Here are some of my travel favorites:
1. Balboa Park - This 1,200-acre urban cultural park is home to museums, gardens, and, again, the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
2. La Jolla - This chic seaside community is known for its shopping, dining, and beautiful beaches.
3. Mission Beach - This lively beach community is popular for its boardwalk, roller coaster, and Belmont Park.
4. Old Town - The historic district is brimming full of great shops, restaurants, and museums.
5. The Gaslamp Quarter - This 16-block historic district boasts shops, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs.
6. SeaWorld San Diego - This world-famous marine park is a must-see for any marine animal lover. You can see whales, dolphins, penguins, and more, and there are plenty of rides and entertainment options as well.
7. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park - This unique park lets you get up close to some of the world's most exotic animals. You can even take a safari tour to see them in their natural habitat.
8. LEGOLAND California - This family-friendly attraction is perfect for any LEGO fan. You can explore different themed areas, ride rides, and build your own creations.
With the above list in mind, I might suggest you also do the following activities:
1. Visit Balboa Park
2. Take a walk or ride a bike along the San Diego Bay
3. Check out the animals at the San Diego Zoo
4. Spend a day at one of San Diego's many beaches
5. Visit the USS Midway Museum
6. Spend an afternoon at Seaport Village
7. Take a boat ride on San Diego Bay
8. Visit Old Town San Diego
9. See the San Diego skyline from Coronado Island
10. Go on a whale watching tour
As you can see, visiting San Diego is a unique travel experience. So, you don’t want to miss the opportunity to see this popular travel destination. Also, keep in mind that you can visit San Diego just about anytime. It has one of the most temperate climates in the U.S. - comparable to the climate of the Mediterranean. It’s also important to emphasize that San Diego is home to some hidden travel treasures. For example, you’ll want to see the Mushroom House, just past Scripps PIer at La Jolla. Located on Black’s Beach, the Mushroom House was constructed to be a guest house in 1968. Its concrete walls are designed to withstand rock slides, earthquakes, and tidal waves. It has some of the best oceanfront views in the city. Another place of note is Sunny Jim’s Sea Cave in La Jolla. This unique cave site features tours that cover a tunnel that spans from a shop to a sea cave. It was dug in 1902 and, according to historians, was used for bootlegging activities. If you love the outdoors, you’ll also want to pay a visit to the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve, which features lovely cascades and a variety of trails. You can also find swings in the city. You can also go exploring and look for some of the city’s hidden rope swings. One of the hidden swings is said to be located near La Jolla Shore Drive and Discovery Way, close to the Scripps Institute. Just looking for the swings can be a fun adventure. If you’re seeking a San Diego travel agent professional, give me a call today to plan your San Diego holiday. In fact, why not get started now? I can’t wait to help you plan the ideal San Diego travel itinerary!

Best Birthday Celebration Ever!
I was planning my husband's elaborate 50th birthday party in San Diego and was getting overwhelmed with all of the details. I felt I needed help managing all of the vendors so I reached out to Alisia via Travel Leaders, who was very warm and helpful right off the bat. Alisia was able to plan a beautiful celebration for my husband and our guests, complete with hotel accommodations, dinner reservations, and entertainment. We would not hesitate to use Alisia's planning skills again, thank you for creating a memorable and special experience for us. ~Lisa B.

Alisia helped me plan my 40th birthday party and baby shower in San Diego. She took care of everything for us! Alisia found the perfect hotel, secured the room block, arranged transportation for our out of town guests, reserved a yacht for 35 people and coordinated our baby shower lunch. She was prompt, professional and was very accommodating.

Perfectly planned trip to Napa
Had the most amazing experience with Alisia! Couldn't recommend her more. She planned our entire 4 day trip to Napa (it was our first time traveling there) and did such a good job picking out our wineries and tours. We felt like we had the best mixture of different types of wineries and made sure to put in different types of tours every day so it was always different. She made sure to plan our driving distance out perdectly so we always started at the winery furthest away and came back closer into our hotel as the day progressed. Picked out awesome dinner places as well! Another bonus, always super responsive to any emails I sent. 10/10 would recommend!
