ItineraryMonterey is a rich and entertaining mix of wildlife, stunning coastal views and important history. On its streets you can walk in the steps of figures like Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck, who spent years living in and writing about this fascinating area.
After a pickup from a convenient hotel in San Francisco, you’ll be swept into a Pacific Coast wonderland. You’ll cruise along California State Route 1 toward Monterey and be entertained by the picturesque Pacific Ocean coastline. Grab a selfie with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop!
Keep an eye out for the sea otters playing in the waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. This underwater park stretches along the coast from San Francisco to Cambria and is home to hundreds of species of marine mammals, birds, and fish.
In Monterey, you’ll have two hours of free time to explore. That’s plenty of time to visit the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. Or use the time to stroll out to Lovers’ Point or check out the many boutiques that line historic Cannery Row. Grab a fresh seafood lunch at Old Fisherman’s Wharf.
Back on your tour vehicle, you’ll be treated to more beauty on the 17-Mile Drive. This scenic road winds its way through the Del Monte Forest between magnificent homes, spectacular coastline and Pebble Beach golf course. Catch a photo of the hardy Lone Cyprus Tree.
After our Pacific beach tour, you’ll experience the enchanting vibe of the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Check out the quaint shops on Ocean Avenue or get some white Pacific sand between your toes at the beach!
Finally, it’s time to head back to San Francisco, exhilarated knowing it was the day to remember!
