Travel scenic California’s Pacific Coast Highway 1 to the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, famous for its spectacular ocean views, abundant wildlife, and historical past.

Day Trip to Carmel and Monterey

After picking you up at your hotel in San Francisco, we'll head south towards Carmel.

Driving along the famous Pacific Coast Highway (known as Highway 1), you'll enjoy unparalleled views of the Pacific coastline and its rugged cliffs. It's one of the most popular drives in the country.

Upon arrival in Monterey, we'll visit the iconic Cannery Row, a new seafront promenade built over the historic sardine packing houses. We'll also pass by the shops and restaurants overlooking the ocean.

Next, we'll drive through the scenic "17-Mile Drive", a captivating stretch of road lined with luxurious mansions, attractions like the lone cypress tree, and prestigious golf courses, including Pebble Beach, which hosted the 2012 USA Open.

Once we reach Carmel, a charming seaside town, you'll have time to wander around, explore exclusive boutiques and art galleries, and appreciate the stunning architecture.

After an exciting day, we will return to San Francisco, concluding the tour at around 7 pm at the meeting points or your preferred location.
