As the COVID-19 pandemic began shuttering businesses and discouraging group gatherings, many activities were forced to put the fun on pause. Long Beach, however, was perfectly poised to give people exactly what they needed: fun and adventure in a safe environment. This coastal California city, boasting year-round beautiful weather, welcomes visitors to book a tour designed to showcase the sea and the sun.
Sea View Cruises, operated by ToursX, takes visitors on ecotours in glass-bottom boats to explore the local marine ecosystem. While the port of Long Beach, the second-busiest container port in the United States, is a bustling maritime industrial zone, marine life thrives and perseveres. ToursX recognizes this as a unique opportunity for visitors to not only enjoy the sea and sunshine but also to become aware of this delicate ecosystem.
