Balboa Island Artwalk & Newport Harbor Cruise

Travel with us to Newport Beach where we'll ride the ferry across the harbor to experience the 29th annual Balboa Island Artwalk. Take a leisurely stroll along the "mile of art and music" at this premier showcase for talented local artists. Enjoy live entertainment on five different stages along the way as you discover dozens of booths exhibiting paintings, fine jewelry, blown glass, sculptures, photography, and more. You'll have plenty of free time for lunch on your own and to explore Balboa Island. Later this afternoon, you'll rejoin your fellow travelers for a 45-minute narrated harbor cruise past sea lions, Pirates Cove (filming site of Gilligan's Island), a famous 1920s Newport Beach speakeasy, and multimillion-dollar yachts, as well as the homes of celebrities including Dean Koontz, George and Gracie Burns, Shirley Temple, and others.
