Sunset Gondola Cruise of Lights Prices

Sunset Beach, Calif.—Cameron Diaz and Sandra Bullock, listen up! You now have an opportunity in Sunset Beach to impress your Hollywood friends. Just down the street from your Sunset Beach homes there's Sunset Gondola. The Christmas Lights in Huntington Harbour offer one of the best times to take a ride, sip some wine, and have a good time.

Part of the Cruise of Lights event in which homes decorate their harbor facing views for tour boats to drive by and enjoy, we've taken out friends to enjoy the moonlit cruise around the smaller canals that hug  Sunset Island in Sunset Beach and look forward to the December Cruise of Lights tour with our family in a private boat. Shown above are pictures of the shimmering, sparkling lights that reflect on the waters of the harbor as seen in a Sunset Gondola ride. The boat departs from Peter's Landing, 16370 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA 

Immerse yourselff in the harbor lifestyle with an Italian gondola experience. The gondoliers with nearly 20 years of service pride themselves as being the few invited U.S. gondoliers to participate in Italy's great gondola competitions.  Combining incredible skills and strength with Tim Reinard's U.S. Coast Guard certification, you'll not find more expert captains of your intimate, private vessel anywhere. 

While they encourage visitors who seek a ride on a big yacht to sign up for the Huntington Harbour Cruise of Lights, an annual fundraiser that goes on limited schedule around the harbor for night-time lights cruises, they invite those seeking a customized, intimate experience to try Sunset Gondolas Harbour Lights gondola cruise. Their service runs daily and nightly throughout December, taking advantage of later hours and opportunities to see the lights when the Cruise tour is not running.

The sparkling holiday lights herald the beginning of a special boat ride called Cruise of Lights. The annual event begins with a lighted boat parade that goes one weekend in December. Following it there are two weeks of public boat rides (for a fee) to raise money for music programs in schools.  Huntington Harbour in Huntington Beach and a strip of Sunset Beach at Sunset Island are decorated by residents.  Many participate in a competition, decorating their homes around a musical theme chosen each year to further promote enjoyment of music.
