 Newport Beach Gondola Ride
Over 800 years old, the gondola is a regarded as a
symbol of romance. Although thinking of a gondola
may bring thoughts of Venice Italy, the gondola
ride found in Newport Beach can be just as romantic
when it comes to the symbol of romance.
Once you sit in the black yet sleek gondola, you'll
be steered into the fairy-tale setting of the
hidden canals beyond Newport Beach. Most of the
time, the individual steering the gondola will
appear discreet yet mysterious, hearing nothing
and saying nothing.
With this sense, the boat will almost appear to
be moving by magic, gliding along with nothing to
disturb the soft music. Occasionally, you can
hear the splashing of a fish breaking the surface
of the water, which actually adds to the music and
the tempo of the gondola ride.
