San Francisco Monterey Explorer Tour- Child

Our Monterey Explorer tour you will take you along California's Pacific Coast on your way to historic Monterey & picturesque Carmel by the Sea, with a drive through Pacific Grove in between. Monterey Bay has great geologic and biological significance, with an incredible abundance of sea life just off shore in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary!

You’ll start the day traveling south on the famous Pacific Coast Highway, California Highway 1. After at least one stop in Santa Cruz, a rest break, and optional photos stops along the way, you will set foot on Monterey’s famous Cannery Row for a chance to stroll among the shops and grab a fresh seafood lunch. If you bring your own lunch, you might be able to squeeze in a short trip to the world famous Monterey Aquarium (admission not included).

After lunch, you will follow the coast through the beautiful little town of Pacific Grove on the way to the 17 Mile Drive. This famous road winds its way between magnificent homes and the spectacular coastline, between the greens and tees of world famous golf courses like Spyglass Hill, and among the last remaining forest of a rare species of tree, the Monterey Cypress, which is sculpted by relentless pacific breezes into fanciful shapes.

The drive finishes up at the Pebble Beach Village, where you can visit the Pro Shop and see the famous 18th Green, which has lights for putting at night. Upon arrival in the enchanted town of Carmel by the Sea, you can explore the boutique shops on Ocean Avenue or be dazzled by the white sandy beach. If there is time and interest, we can visit the historic Carmel Mission. Our Monterey Explorer tour has optional short stops in Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz.

Please note that pick-up time is between 8 and 9 AM depending on which hotel you will be picked up from.
