Father’s Day Outing Ideas in Newport Beach 🌊 

Need some inspiration for taking pops out for his big day? Below are some of our aquatic themed suggestions for getting the old boy out of his comfort zone this Father’s day. Who doesn’t want to see dad fall off a paddleboard?

  • Take him for a paddle 🏄‍♂️ 
    No board, no problem: rent a paddleboard at Pirate Coast for a tour around the Back Bay and Newport Harbor. If he is willing to wait until later in the week, there are still some spots open for the evening Glow Tour Paddle on Friday 6/20.

  • Go Parasailing 🪂 
    We booked the couples package at California Parasail at their Catalina Island location and it was a great experience. Just remember to get a lanyard for your phone if you want to take pics up there.

  • Rent a Jetski
    You can’t help but smile when you’re on a jetski. Balboa Watersports offers packages ranging from a quick zip around the harbor to a guided ride out to the coast for some sea lion and dolphin sightings.

  • Watch Some Whales 🐋 
    Looking for a less extreme activity? Find your zen with a whale watching tour from Newport Whales. If your lucky, you may even see a rare phantom whale on your cruise. Time to kick back and enjoy nature as Dad intended: on a boat.

  • Drink Under a Floating Palapa
    Look there is no getting around it, if you book the NB Tiki Cruise you will look like a tourist. But hey, if he is ok with rocking HeyDude sneakers he is far past caring what anyone thinks of him. Good on ya mate!

  • Get That Man a Beer 🍻 
    Malarky’s will be hosting a Father’s Day special all day on Sunday 6/15 in honor of Dads everywhere. We assume he will still somehow get stuck with the bill.
