of dolphins that call this area home and love to get within arm’s reach of their catamaran audience. Be

amazed by the majestic whales seen throughout the year that will mesmerize with their grandeur and grace. You will even

hear these animals with underwater hydrophones and see them through the exclusive eye-to-eye underwater viewing pod — the only one

like it in the world!

Capt. Dave Anderson has produced a two-hour documentary about dolphins and whales and has had several articles published in magazines including

National Geographic. He has also written a family adventure book entitled “Lily, A Gray Whale’s Odyssey.” Half of the proceeds go to charity including helping

Ocean Strokes Kayaking AdventurecOst: $150 Per PersOn

There’s no better way to see one of South-

ern California’s most storied coastlines than

being on an ocean kayak, paddling leisurely

across the deep blue sea. Experience the

reefs, beaches, marine life and coves that

brought artists here at the turn of the cen-

tury and continue to inspire today. You’ll feel

like part of the ocean, all from the clearest

water this side of Catalina.

The excursion launches from North

Laguna at Boat Canyon, aptly named

because it is one of the few calm protected

coves in the area - a favorite for sailors and

paddlers. The tour heads north past Shaw’s

Cove and Crescent Bay, making a turn at the glided enclave of Emerald Bay, one of Laguna’s only private beach

communities. Next is a magnificent display of wildlife. Seal Rock is a protected sanctuary that is home to scores of

California sea lions, pelicans, gulls and cormorants. It is a wonder of nature to behold these lovely, docile mammals

and birds in their native habitat.

This activity requires a moderate level of physical ability

Double ocean kayaks are equipped with high backrests, which are the most stable boats in the sea

Excursion includes kayak, paddle, life jacket and a paddling demonstration

Roundtrip deluxe coach transportation included

Sunscreen, hat, water shoes and a towel are recommended

Build-A-Bear, Lift A Child’s Spirita community service Project Free time at Fashion Mall

Teddy bears are a tangible symbol of

love, security and friendship. As chil-

dren, they kept us warm at night. As

we grew older, they came to symbolize

romance and love. At all stages of life, teddy bears represent happiness and safety and

cheer us up when we are feeling low.

Roundtrip transportation will be provided to Fashion Island Mall, where your Build-

A-Bear activity begins. The professional Build-A-Bear staff is ready to assist you with

building the bears. While visiting a series of stations, this hands-on workshop will help

you create a special teddy bear for some very deserving children. Guests will be given

a “Bear Bucks” gift card where you can spend your allowance to select the bear and a

variety of accessories.

Bears will be delivered to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) on behalf

of AMCA, where these lovely bears will brighten some very sick children’s lives. CHOC

was the first children’s hospital in Orange County and serves an estimated pediatric

population of over 1,156,000 children.

After the Build-A-Bear activity, you will have free time to browse, shop and have lunch

on your own at Fashion Island. This open air shopping center is Newport Beach’s finest

mall with a mixture of boutiques, retail stores and delicious restaurants. A map of the

mall will be provided.
