Tour Description

With a drive through Pacific Grove in between, our Monterey & Carmel Explorer Tour will transport you down California's Pacific Coast to ancient Monterey and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea. If there is no fog, you will begin the day by heading south on California Highway 1, the well-known Pacific Coast Highway.

Set out on an amazing adventure southward towards Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea along California's Pacific Coast Highway. Take in the breathtaking Pacific scenery at Davenport's rest area before spending two hours exploring Monterey's charms.

During your two hours in Monterey, you will have ample opportunity to explore the stores along the famous Cannery Row, have a lunch of delicious seafood, or simply meander along Ocean View Boulevard until you reach Lover's Point Beach.

Then, on your journey to the 17-Mile Drive, follow the coast past the charming tiny hamlet of Pacific Grove. This well-known route meanders between opulent residences and the breathtaking coastline, between the tees and greens of renowned golf courses like Spyglass Hill, and among the last remaining forest of a rare species of tree called the Monterey Cypress, which has been sculpted into fantastical shapes by unrelenting Pacific breezes.

One particularly moving example of one of these resilient trees surviving (by human engineering) in an apparently inhospitable place is the Lone Cypress.

When you get to the charming town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, you can marvel at the white sand beach or browse the boutique stores on Ocean Avenue
