Description:

Head south from San Francisco to explore the rugged shores, windswept beaches, and charming seaside towns of the Central Coast. Visit Monterey’s world-famous aquarium, dig your toes into the sand at Carmel-by-the-Sea, and indulge in a gourmet picnic lunch and dinner with local wines.

Stretching across the Monterey Peninsula from Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach, 17-mile drive is a private road filled with dramatic coastal views, idyllic beaches, scenic points, and historic mansions. You’ll spend the day exploring the towns, attractions, and natural wonders of the area with your naturalist Escape Artist guide.

We’ll visit the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium home to more than 35,000 plants and animals including sharks, turtles, rays, otters, octopuses, and penguins. You’ll get a VIP experience, visiting exclusive behind-the-scenes areas and hearing in-depth insights on the animals and aquarium.

Your Escape Artist guide will also lead you on a walk along one of our favorite sections of the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail. You will soak in the serene coastal views and watch for harbor seals, sea lions, and otters while learning more about the history, ecology, and culture of the peninsula.

The tour will end with free time in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The picturesque town was home to Native Americans and Spanish missionaries before becoming a haven for bohemians and artists in the early 1900s. It retains its charm and artistic inclinations today, and you’ll find endless diversions in its art galleries, boutiques, historic homes, wine tasting rooms, and cypress lined paths.

A chef’s lunch and small plate dinner are included in the tour.
