As the prospect of safe travel inches closer every day, groups can begin organizing fun ways to get out of town.

Not sure where to go on your day trip around San Diego? Here are a few ideas.
Carlsbad
Distance from downtown San Diego: ~40 minutes or 45 miles
Perfect for: Groups of families or friends
If you’ve been in the San Diego metro area for a while, you’ve probably already been to Carlsbad. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a second or third visit. About 20 minutes north of Encinitas, you’ll find plenty of fun for the whole family. Visit the beautiful Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch when they’re in full bloom, or stroll along the picturesque Carlsbad Sea Wall. You can travel in complete comfort and according to your own schedule anywhere in Carlsbad when you rent a bus with San Diego Charter Bus Company.
Temecula
Temecula Valley
Distance from downtown San Diego: ~1 hour or 60 miles
Perfect for: Friend trips or a team-building day with coworkers
From a day of company team building at pristine golf courses to wine tasting with a group of your best friends, Temecula Valley has everything you need to enjoy yourselves. The wine country boasts more than 50 wineries, five golf courses, and a variety of outdoor activities like horseback riding and easy hiking. Planning a private winery tour of Temecula is easy when you rent a minibus with a professional driver behind the wheel.
Palomar Mountain
Distance from downtown San Diego: ~1 hour and 45 minutes or 70 miles
Perfect for: School field trips and scout troops
If you have a school pod or youth group that’s been itching to explore the outdoors, plan a quick trip over to Palomar Mountain State Park. It has around a dozen trails, ranging from beginner friendly for young children to strenuous hikes for an adventurous bunch of older kids. You can also pop into the Palomar Observatory if you have a group interested in space and science—just be sure to look at the observatory’s website to book a guided tour and check for any weather-related closures.
Anaheim
Distance from downtown San Diego: ~1 hour and 45 minutes or 96 miles
Perfect for: Families with kids or big family reunions later in the year
After being apart for so long, spending time with extended family is more important than ever! A family day at one of Anaheim’s many theme parks would be a fun way to catch up. Large families may have a hard time organizing a carpool system and making sure everyone arrives at the park on time. Renting a charter bus from San Diego to Anaheim will keep your entire family together on the road there. Be sure to review each theme park’s reopening and group visitor guidelines to ensure you have the safest trip possible.
Borrego Springs
Borrego Springs
Distance from downtown San Diego: ~1 hour and 55 minutes or 90 miles
Perfect for: Groups of art lovers and/or nature enthusiasts
Sure, there are quite a few places to go on a hike around San Diego, but nowhere else is quite like Borrego Springs. Along with its beautiful mountainous desert landscape, Borrego Springs also has massive metal sculptures of animals and mythical creatures made by artist Ricardo Breceda. The 130 sculptures are located in Galleta Meadows, just a short distance from the highway. You’ll see intense battles between dinosaurs, a giant scorpion preying upon a grasshopper, and a 350-foot dragon snaking through the sand.
