| On this popular and festive holiday tour, we’ll visit three spectacular destinations in and around Newport Beach. First, enjoy time at leisure to browse the gorgeous Roger’s Gardens – it’s not just a nursery, it’s a destination! Known as “America’s Most Beautiful Home and Garden Center,” this time of year its gardens, gallery and gift shop feature a glorious display of themed Christmas trees and holiday décor. Next, enjoy an early dinner (approximately 3:00 p.m.) on your own at Fashion Island, Newport Coast’s hip outdoor shopping center. Here you will find countless delectable dining options amidst a plethora of prestigious department stores and specialty boutiques. We’ll then travel to Newport’s Balboa Fun Zone and board a boat (with both covered and uncovered areas) and cruise through Newport Bay during the 114th annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade to marvel at the highly decorated waterfront mansions as well as the decorated yachts, boats, kayaks and canoes within the parade. |
