Why you should visit San Diego

With its beautiful beaches, world class attractions and a vibrant Mexican influence, San Diego needs to be on your travelling Bucket List.

And with airfares at an all-time low (think around the $1000 return mark!), you can make the most of your dollar and splash out on some incredible VIP experiences.

Into the wild

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! San Diego Zoo Safari Park offers many different VIP experiences including a tailored 5 to 8-hour Ultimate Safari that includes access to the most exclusive areas of the park, up-close animal encounters and a personal tour guide.

Keen to get even more adventurous? Consider the Roar & Snore Safari where you get to sleep overnight in a luxury tent surrounded by the sights and sounds of wildlife. The sleepover includes camp activities, after-hours wildlife viewing, guided walks, a campfire program, dinner and breakfast the following morning.

Go flying

Fly like a seagull over La Jolla at the Torrey Pines Gliderport, America’s most popular coastal soaring site.

Take a tandem paragliding or hang gliding flight at the world’s largest tandem operation and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the dramatic coastal cliffs and the Torrey Pines Golf Course.

Up, up and away

Go hot air ballooning while sipping champagne and enjoying panoramic views of San Diego. Floating up to 3,000 feet on a clear day, San Diego’s inland North County is among a few places in the world where a balloon can fly both at sunrise and sunset due to perfect wind conditions.

To infinity and beyond

The new Sky Combat Ace offers extreme air adventures where guests zip into flight suits and take the controls of high-performance stunt planes to experience aerial dogfights and wild aerobatic flights of non-stop spins, barrel rolls and loops high above the San Diego coast.
