- Topanga Ranch Motel - We meet up and drop off at Topanga State Beach. You can arrive early to enjoy this beautiful, scenic area.
- Broad Beach - Our first stop is north of Point Dume, at this amazing private beach. This location is like no other in the world, with a view of the beautiful coastline, celebrity homes, and the Santa Monica Mountains as the backdrop. You will see surfers, boats, and friendly people as the tour guide does a quick photo shoot of you and your group.
- Point Dume State Beach and Preserve - The northern tip of the Santa Monica Bay is rich in nature and heritage, but is difficult to reach for the average traveler. Cruiseline makes this location easily accessible. We will make a stop here for you to take a walk through the natural preserve over looking the beach. It is very beautiful and serene. This location provides amazing views views of Catalina Island, as you’ll visit the seals inhabiting the beach down below, or an occasional dolphin swimming by.
- Paradise Cove - This private beach resort is the only one of it’s kind along the entire California Coast! You can legally bring your own alcohol and drink right on the beach! There is a long history dating back to the 1940’s when this land was purchased by a small family, who launched boats for local fishermen. Nestled just south of Point Dume, this small cove contains it’s own fishing pier, an awesome seafood restaurant, and private cabanas. It’s a very festive location with amazing scenery.
- Malibu Country Mart - Malibu Country Mart consists of 3 large shopping centers, and a nature preserve. You can go shopping, visit a winery, eat at Broadstreet Oyster Company, or explore the Malibu Lagoon.
- Topanga Beach - South of the Malibu city limits, lies Topanga State Beach. This gritty location provides a very unique assortment of beach, winery, and restaurants. Access tunnel under the highway, rocky tidepools, and longboard surfers are what make this beach so different.
- Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio - Beachfront winery on Pacific Coast Hwy with a view of Santa Monica Mountains and Topanga Creek. Inside wine bar with large outside patio. Sundays feature live band during spring and summer. Close proximity to beach and restaurants.

Just book it! - We had looked at other similar tours but the price and the fact that it included snacks and wine is what sold us. Glad we did, because it was unmatched! Gavin was so knowledgeable and shared interesting facts, especially the ones known only to local. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!

Best Malibu Tour Ever - Gavin is an absolute gem! He is such a great tour guide and shows you the best parts of Malibu! He was very knowledgeable of the area. We stopped at the beach, drove past celebrity houses, gave us a little history lesson, brought us to Point Loma, took us to get some fire lobster rolls and ended the tour at Rosenthal winery! He even provided snacks along the way, in addition to wine and water. He even had sunscreen ready for those us that forgot it! It was one of the best days ever and we can’t recommend this tour more. Remember to tip your tour guide well because they deserve it!

Such a fun experience! - Me and my family had a blast on this tour! My sister and I are LA locals and Gavin took us to spots we had never been to and fully opened our eyes to everything Malibu has to offer. He was a very safe driver as well and had great energy and the perfect balance of being in the van and stopping and enjoying the cool spots.

Malibu Tour - Title of tour is a little bit deceiving. Read details.
Was hoping for a wine tour. This is not a tour of a vineyard.
Food was chips, ie Doritos, peanuts.
Beach tour was very nice. Music was perfect.
Driving was great.
Limited seats open air, some were in closed van area where window does not open.
It was not what we expected but it was nice in its own way as an authentic way to get to know Malibu. We even saw a celebrity !

You get what you pay for 🤷🏼♀️ - This is in response with the group of LaReecia, it was very uncomfortable getting in the car because when I tried to sit in the back my head was sticking out the side of the vehicle and then it was made known that I was going to have to move because I didn't fit. I moved to the front and was made a little more comfortable by being in the middle. We were delayed by about 12 min when you said hey guys don't worry my friend is here now, I've known him for a while he's a good friend of mine even though he is a paying customer. Then we started driving and we were given brief details about what you do on a day to day basis and was talking about different scenes in Malibu which included another friends house and how the friend that made us late you guys both knew him and had known about how much his house cost and how the guy inherited it etc. It's been stated before how he becomes very arrogant when being informed of someone disagreeing with something that he says or does.. I experienced this first hand when we had made our first stop at a beach from a short distance of a residential neighborhood and we left the beach having mad e the decision we should probably leave because someone in our party was having some anxiety about the experience we had been having that day. When we tried to leave, you ran after us and asked for an explanation.. you walked back to the beach and collected the rest of the group and again returned asking why we were leaving, and then we said we had got an Uber to take ourselves back home, after this response you raised your voice and chest and said well is there anything I can do to make you happy? And we all were stunned at the shift in your approach to us wanting to leave. This made us even more uncomfortable and then we heard you continue talking about us as you ushered the group to the van and drove off quickly. Again, we become even more shocked at your actions as a business manager or director. I would also like to point out that none of us had drank that day, because we expected to be stopping at wineries and tasting wines from those establishments. ( This was another issue that I found myself with after 20 minutes into the tour, that this would not be taking place because you have to have reservations) I didn't make a reservation, so that I could make ANOTHER reservation.. I could go on and on but I'd like to just ask everyone to take your time going through some other previous reviews and see how he responds to people, and that will tell you what kind of business he runs, and how he tries to fix his image by lying about unsatisfied customers.
Thank you, for giving my family a hilarious story that will not be soon forgotten!

Very Unprofessional Tour - This wine tour was completely not what is displayed on its website!!! My family and I decided to book a tour with this “tour company”??? Expecting a professional wine tour in Malibu. Instead when we got there it was unprofessional and the van was in terrible condition. When we got on we were told it was “under construction” and to watch our heads when we were taking a seat in the back. Due to the fact of the van having a giant hole cut into the top of the van with medal being exposed that could cut someone. Our tour guide even told us to watch our head so we wouldn’t cut ourselves. Even the supposed “removable windows” lol were giant cutouts where windows once were, also exposing metal that could cut someone. In the van where I sat was a huge cutout in the back and had a hug plastic piece that kept stabbing me in my back. Before we got in the van there was trash on the seat. There was a gum wrapper a cherry stem and a quarter and he had asked if I could remove them from the seat. He then told us he was running late due to his friend not arriving on time. When his friend got there we proceeded with the tour. The drive wasn’t half bad but our guide was giving us strange information about Malibu. Including where his friend lived and how much he pays for his house a month which was very unprofessional. I have severe anxiety and due to unsafe conditions with the van. I was having a severe anxiety attack. We stopped at our first stop which was a beach in Malibu. The beach was beautiful but our guide was giving a strange vibe and everything with tour was not what was advertised. My family and I decided to leave due to my anxiety and everyone else also being uncomfortable and appalled about how the tour was not what is was advertised online. We sent one of our family members to let him know we did not want to continue with the tour and our guide did ask if we wanted a refund and we had declined realizing this was his income and we did feel horrible. One of my family members asked him to not bring up the situation around me because of my anxiety and he proceeded to walk up to the rest of my family to talk about it more which to me was very unprofessional and rude. Not to mention the place we parked our cars at which was Topanga ranch motel was run down and we did not feel safe leaving our cars there. My family was accused of being intoxicated. We definitely Were not it was 10 am and we were all aware. We also were accused of not liking kids due to the fact he had a kid in the front seat in the car which we also found unprofessional. This is not true we have a lot of younger kids and people in our family which we love and adore. Before booking this tour I would suggest to read these reviews and also read how the guide responds to these reviews which is very unprofessional. We do appreciate your time but are very upset that we didn’t get what was advertised!!!
