USA · MONTEREY & CARMEL TOURS
Good monterey & carmel tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spot humpbacks, blue whales, dolphins, and more in Monterey Bay on a 3 to 4 hour cruise from Discovery Whale Watch.
“Aside of having seen lots of whales, sea lions and dolfins, the crew was very gentle and the advisor was very skilled and informed in a humorous, informative way!”
Monterey Bay whale watching from Fisherman's Wharf with a marine naturalist, photo tips, and chances to spot gray, humpback, blue whales.
“Such a fantastic trip, the staff were so knowledgeable. Exceeded my expectations, I would book again if I could!”
Ride an e-bike guided tour through Monterey and Carmel’s 17-Mile Drive, with wildlife stops and Pebble Beach views in about 3 hours.
“Flo is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and a sense of humor. We thought we would see more though. We didn’t realize the 17 mile drive is only 8.5 miles each way. Deceiving”
Whale watch from Monterey on a 2-3 hour boat tour with marine biologists, comfy decks, and an optional $20 VIP upper deck.
“Very nice-I was worried about getting seasick but was very prepared and felt fine. Saw at least 15 humpback whales-book this trip and you can’t go wrong!”
Highway 1 coast to Monterey and Carmel from San Francisco, with Cannery Row time, 17-Mile Drive entry, Pebble Beach photos, and Carmel strolls.
“This was an excellent day trip, on time, comfortable, with a friendly and informative driver/guide. The route is beautiful with lots of coastal views, the stops are paced just right, and there's enough time in each spot to enjoy the place. I took the tour with my daughter while on a Mother's Day visit, neither one of us has a car. It was a perfect way to spend Mother's Day Sunday, the views were stunning. Loved having lunch at Monterey, and the stop was long enough that lunch was leisurely. The Carmel stop is slightly shorter, but still long enough. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver/tour guide was very entertaining…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
