Experience the moviestar life in LA

Los Angeles is home to Hollywood and the world's most famous celebrities. There are numerous attractions and activities in LA which revolve around the film industry as well as its beautiful sandy beaches and iconic theme parks. Some of the highlights of this fabulous city lie in its affluent (and most recognised) neighbourhoods; Beverly Hills, Hollywood and the stunning coastline running between Malibu and Newport.

We highly recommend you visit the majestic whales and dolphins of Newport Landing, and if you decide on an afternoon cruise and feel the need to head out to sea again, we love the LA Dinner Cruise that departs at 6.30pm and includes a 3 course meal, live music and beautiful views over Newport Bay.

A trip to the Californian city of LA would not be the same without the guided tour of Hollywood’s homes to the stars, a stroll down the Walk of Fame, the various film studios packed with current TV shows and movies being shot and the infamous theme parks – Universal Studios, Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Legoland.

If you are an animal lover, then the San Diego Zoo will amaze you; each area is designed to mirror the animal’s natural habitat and there's even a special Safari Park exhibit for an African adventure.
