Big Sur Monterey and Carmel Tour From San Francisco
Overview
From the spectacular rocky ocean waves to the iconic towns, Highway 1 from San Francisco provides an experience you rarely find.
This tour combines the best of California in one day. We begin in Monterey Bay, that has unparalleled sea life. You may even spot a whale! You will have time for coffee at Cannery Row.
Next is the famous 17-Mile Scenic Drive (including a stop at golf resort Pebble Beach). There will be photo stops at the Lone Cypress, Bird Rock, Lovers Point or Point Pinos.
We visit the beach town of Carmel, home to celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, where you can visit quaint shops, artisinal bakeries and coffee shops.
Lastly, we will see the Bixby Bridge and Hurricane Point, the iconic highlights of Big Sur.
Depending on the time of the year, there may be a spectacular Northern California sunset over the ocean as we make our way back to San Francisco.
