Monterey en Carmel Explorer met optioneel Aquarium

1 day
Over deze activiteit
Op de Monterey en Carmel Explorer tour komt u langs de Stille Oceaan op weg naar het historische Monterey, rijdt u door Pacific Grove en bezoekt u het pittoreske Carmel-by-the-Sea. Monterey Bay heeft een grote geologische en biologische betekenis: het Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary beslaat 444 kilometer van de spectaculaire kustlijn van Californië en heeft een ongelooflijk uitbundig zeeleven. Monterey Bay is de plek waar de eerste Europeanen voet aan wal zetten in het gebied dat nu Californië heet. Verschillende golven van walvisvangst en visserij op industriële schaal hebben misbruik gemaakt van de biologische rijkdommen in deze gigantische onderzeese trog. John Steinbeck (Grapes of Wrath) is opgegroeid in Salinas en veel van zijn werk speelt zich af in Monterey. Twee van zijn boeken zijn Tortilla Flat en Cannery Row.
Aan het begin van de dag reist u in zuidelijke richting over de beroemde Pacific Coast Highway, de California Highway 1 (als er geen mist is). Na een optionele stop in Santa Cruz, een rustpauze en optionele fotostops onderweg, gaat u wandelen over de beroemde Cannery Row waar u kunt winkelen en verse zeevruchten kunt eten. Als u uw eigen lunch meeneemt, heeft u wellicht tijd voor een kort bezoek aan het wereldberoemde Monterey Aquarium (toegangsprijs niet inbegrepen). Na de lunch volgt u de kust door het mooie stadje Pacific Grove op weg naar de 17-Mile Drive. Deze beroemde weg voert langs prachtige huizen en de spectaculaire kustlijn, de greens en tees van wereldberoemde golfbanen zoals Spyglass Hill, en langs het laatste bos met de zeldzame Monterey-cypressen, die door de onophoudende oceaanwind de meest bijzondere vormen krijgen. De Lone Cypress is het bekendste voorbeeld van deze taaie bomen die ook op ogenschijnlijk onmogelijke locaties weten te overleven (in dit geval met behulp van menselijke techniek).
De rit eindigt in Pebble Beach Village, waar u naar de Pro Shop kunt en de beroemde 18th Green kunt zien. Als u zoveel heeft betaald om te gaan golfen, stopt u bij zonsondergang niet bij de 16e hole! Bij aankomst in het betoverende stadje Carmel-by-the-Sea kunt u de boetieks van Ocean Avenue verkennen of u laten betoveren door het witte zandstrand. Als er nog tijd en belangstelling is, kunnen we als laatste stop de historische Carmel Mission bezoeken. Deze tour heeft ook optionele korte stops in Half Moon Bay of Santa Cruz. Ga mee met onze Monterey en Carmel Explorer Tour als u iets bijzonders wilt zien.

We booked this trip with much anticipation. I have always wanted to drive the PCH and see the sights there. There were four of us on this trip and three other groups joined us. Total people touring was 12. Of the four parties touring, all but one had some issues before the tour ever began. We were the first to board and we noted the van was not handicapped accessible. We had called the tour provider Extranomical Tours prior to booking to confirm that it would be and that there would be a space to store the scooter one of our party uses. We called again two days before the tour to check. Both times we were assured we were on a handicapped bus and there would be adequate storage space. On the day of the tour, the driver refused to allow the scooter to be boarded, saying no one had told him, and we had a full bus. He refused to call the tour provider to try to accommodate us and his attitude was Do it my way or get off. He actually repeated over and over Nothing I can do. Another party on the bus had requested a translator and none was provided. Same response from the driver. A third group had been told and had written confirmation of a specified time and location, but he came very close to leaving them when he was at the appointed place 15 minutes early. He berated them as they boarded. Once on the road, the PA system I. The bus was not working properly and the people in the back could not hear. He was rude to those passengers, asking if they had a hearing problem. They did not. When he finally conceded the speakers on the bus were not working, he refused to talk louder. He stated, Nothing I can do about it repeatedly. It was apparent to all on board that he was rushed and impatient with everyone. He drove 75-80 miles an hour, even though it was a rainy day. He hurried people and lectured them at each stop. He took several , shortcuts, and never gave enough time for us to explore in Monterrey or Carmel. Originally, he said we would have about 2 hours in Monterrey, but we only had about an hour and 15 minutes, He parked far away from the eating establishments on Cannery Row, and refused to let us out by them. By the time we walked our mobility impaired friend down the street, we didnt have enough time to eat and get back to the bus. He shrugged when we told him. At the Same stop, he chased a family down and fussed at them for going to the bathroom as he was ready to leave. He rushed and lectured constantly, urging people to hurry. His commentary on the sights was repetitive and boring. He seemed to take no joy in his subject as the best tour operators do. As stated, Much of what he said could not be heard by half of the passengers. On the actual coast, not including Monterrey and Carmel, we only stopped twice: Once at a small restaurant for a bathroom break, and once at Bird Rock. The rest of the PCH went by fast, given his speed. Of the whole trip, we were on the coast for less than half the time. The rest of the time, we were inland among farming communities, or on the freeway coming home. The trip lasted about 9-10 hours advertised at the time we booked as 12 hours, and we spent 2 hours in near standstill traffic on the way home and in SF dropping people off. The scenery was beautiful, just wish I could have really enjoyed it.

Worth doing it but we did not see the bridge as shown in the tour picture.

A thoroughly enjoyable day. Our driver/guide was full of knowledge and kept us continually updated with information. And his choice of music certainly added to the experience.

Guide was terrific Steve. Very knowledgeable and willing to readily share info. Tour could have been longer......not quite enough time at each spot. Great photos of a Pebble Beach sea lions. We enjoyed the coffee shop stop on the way there. FYI, watch your water intake in the afternoon...it's a long, non stop 2.5 to 3 HR ride home.

The Guide was Terrific. The Tour was a bit long for my taste as we spent more time driving that in Monterey and Carmel.

Out of the three tours we took during our week in San Francisco, this was the longest, and frankly, poorest one. Maybe they are trying to cram too much into one day. Our visits at each stop were too brief. NOTE: This tour was advertised as being 14 hours. Even with an extra hour of traffic due to brush fires, it was only 11. Most disappointing was Carmel, where we only had enough time to be seated and served lunch at a restaurant before we had to leave again, giving us no time to shop, etc. The stop at the convenience store/bakery reeked of I get a perk for bringing tourists here. Perhaps the tour would have been different with a different driver/tour director. Frank, Im sorry, but your driving and your narration was horrible. I was riding in the front passenger seat, and counted at least four near-miss accidents due to the driving. He missed sideswiping an SUV by inches on the freeway. He cut off another car when Frank clearly ran the stop sign. Two close to rear-ending the cars in front of us. Between fiddling with the microphone connection, the radio, and his playlists on his phone, he had his eyes off the road a lot. It was a very tense ride, and the passengers in the back felt the same way, with an added bonus of motion sickness. The first part of the day consisted of lots of brief stops, then there was the three hour drive back where were all just in the bus driving. Our return was four hours due to traffic jams/brush fires, but I know thats out of anyones control. Frank clearly likes exotic automobiles. Lots of commentary consisted of theres a nice car over and over. Adding some personal flair to the narration can be nice, but there was too much talk about what Frank and his buddies did decades ago. By the end of the day, we were queasy and felt lucky to have avoided a collision. Sorry, but we cant recommend this tour.
