While we recommend making a confirmed reservation as soon as your plans are solid, it’s especially important to do so at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee a seat, as our tours tend to sell out quickly.

For the safety of young passengers, children under the age of nine or weighing less than 40 pounds must be secured in a car seat or booster seat. California law strictly enforces this requirement, and we ask that you comply. If needed, Best Coast Tours can provide car seats or booster seats for your loved ones, although we recommend customers to provide their own if possible.

We suggest dressing comfortably for our tours, and if there are any walking or hiking portions, wearing appropriate footwear like walking or hiking shoes is advisable. Southern California weather is generally mild, and it can be warm to hot in the summer months, so sunglasses and light clothing are recommended. Don’t forget to bring a jacket and hat for cooler moments, especially on our whale watching tours. Sunblock and water are highly encouraged to stay hydrated and protected from the sun.

If you need to make changes or updates to your existing reservation, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (949) 328-4222 or email us at info@bestcoasttours.com.
