Newport Harbor boat rental

"Balboa boat tour"

I got a groupon to rent a boat for an hour.  Normally $69/hour and I got a deal for $27/hour.  My husband was happy that we weren't going on a boat 'tour' with a lot of other people.  HE was the captain!  One hour was the perfect amount of time for our kids (ages 2 and 4).  Life vests provided for them.  We cruised around Balboa island, saw a lot of other boats in the harbor, went under a few bridges, saw a few kayakers and the final family pleaser was seeing a bunch of lazy sea lions.  We probably wouldn't pay full price for this boat ride, but if I ever see another deal-  we are on it!
