1 Day Monterey Bay, Carmel, 7 Miles Scenic Drive Tour from San Francisco

Before the automobile had become a way of life, the scenic 17 Mile Drive was navigated by horse-drawn carriages from the famous Hotel Del Monte (now the site of Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey) down through the Del Monte Forest, along spectacular views of the coastline, ending up at Pebble Beach. A hundred years later, people are still following the exact same route, just with fewer horses. Join us as we experience the majesty of the northern California coastline in this classic excursion. Along the way, we’ll stop at scenic viewpoints such as Seal Rock, Cypress Point, and Pebble Beach. We’ll visit the neighborhood known as Fisherman’s Wharf, as well as the charming seaside town of Carmel, and enjoy some of the best specialty shops and art galleries Carmel has to offer. Finally, we’ll get an in depth glimpse of life by the sea at the Monterey Aquarium*, where we will learn about the great canyon that lies inside Monterey Bay, one of the deepest underwater canyons along the coast of the continental United States.

Please note: From Feb 6th thru 12th due to the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Golf Tournament. We will be rerouting our tour during this time to go to Pacific Grove, which has very nice & comparable beaches to the original itinerary.
