Overview

Immerse yourself in one of California’s most
distinctive coastal landscapes. Experience the abundance of the coast with a visit to Monterey and its world class Aquarium, the wave-filled California Coast and Carmel-by-the-Sea.
After a drive from San Francisco we arrive to Monterey, home to the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, which offers an up-close look at one of the most biologically diverse marine
environments in the world. The tour continues along the waterfront through the 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach. Photo stops are available at landmarks such as Lone Cypress, Bird Rock,
Lovers Point, and Point Pinos.
Your final stop is Carmel-by-the-Sea, a picturesque seaside town that has been a destination
for artists, free-spirits and film industry types. Visitors can wander
through quaint shops and enjoy baked treats or coffee from local
cafés along the way.
As we head back , the coast provides sweeping ocean scenery
and at certain times of year, is capped off by
sunset over the water.
