Your pilot's first priority is your safety, and he will also be able to answer any questions you may have along the way.
If your adventurous spirit takes a hold of you, but you don't quite know which sports and recreational activity to take on, let the friendly and informative staff at California Sport Adventures guide you through an amazing menu of high-flying activities that include skydiving, paragliding, kite surfing and much more. If you prefer to take the plunge instead, you can also choose from snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing packages.
Art is born out of both inspiration and reflection. A specific geographic area can inspire the creation of some truly amazing art as well as reflect the attitudes and feelings of a particular point in time. Nowhere is that more obvious than at Long Beach's Museum of Latin American Art. These works seem to come alive with both a dimensionality and a spiciness that gives them a personality all their own. The facility was founded in 1996 and holds the distinction of being the only museum of its kind in the United States.
