From Coronado’s Ferry Landing the tour includes a scenic crossing to San Diego’s Broadway Pier, a harbor ride past historic ships and waterfront parks with photo stops at landmarks such as the “Embracing Peace” statue and the U.S.S. Midway, time to explore Seaport Village, then a ferry back to Coronado.
