Highlights
  • 17-Mile Drive - Explore one of the most famous and prominent golf resorts in North America.

  • Spanish Bay - Home to many restaurants, beautiful views, and a world famous golf course.

  • Point Joe - Point Joe is the 5th point on 17-Mile Drive. Its coastline is made of Granite rocks formed 65 million years back and it gives this coastline a rugged look. The place had several shipwrecks in history due to its rocky shares and its location near to Monterey Bay. The place has ample parking and sitting benches to relax. There are several information boards to read about the place. About the origin of the name Point Joe, there is debate over that for years now. Some historians believe that there was a Chinese man who lived in a driftwood structure here in the early 1900’s that sold goods to explorers. It is unclear whether Point Joe was named for the Chinese man or if the man was named after the location. A great place to look out for everyones favorite marine mammal the Souther Sea Otter.

  • China Rock - See the place where an old, Chinese fishing village used to sit.

  • Bird Rock Vista Point - We take a restroom break here and watch sea lions play in the water. Your guide will help you identify the wildlife that you see and share some fun facts…both about the animals and the rock.

  • Seal Rock Creek beach - Enjoy the beautiful view.

  • Fanshell Overlook - Stop to look for sea otters at this beautiful lookout. Learn a bit about the Cypress Point Country Club from your guide. Note: in the Spring this stop is closed to protect the Harbor Seals pupping on the nearby beach.

  • Cypress Point Lookout - Stop to look for sea otters at this beautiful lookout. Learn a bit about the Cypress Point Country Club from your guide. On a clear day you can see the Point Sur Lighthouse in Big Sur.

  • Crocker Grove - Home to the oldest and largest of our Monterey Cypress trees, we will cover some of the issues facing this environment.

  • Lone Cypress - This tree is famous for historically being the half way mark along 17-mile drive. In 1919 it became the logo for Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Best tour in Carmel - Leslie was the best tour guide. I had never been on an e-bike or seen the 17 mile drive. She helped me ease into the bike, which I now love and want. The route was beautiful and Leslie was very knowledgeable and kind. She had a Mary poppins bag and saved me multiple times. I highly recommend this tour and Leslie.

Great local insights, no dog tour - We learned when we arrived there is a tour for people to bring their dogs along and one without dogs. We did not have a dog, but some confusion at first seemed we would be on the dog tour. That tour is a little different to stop and let dogs walk, bathroom, etc. Not what we signed up for. Thankfully, it worked out and we did not have to go in the dog group. Noah, our guide was excellent- knowledgeable of the area and shared local insight. He made sure all were included and enjoyed the ride. I think we would have switched to self guided if we had been merged into the dog bike tour- it’s a good option if you do want to bring your fury family member.

Go Elsewhere! - Very disappointed in this company. Left a voicemail followed up by an email about a tour on a specific upcoming date. No response. Not sure how they do business but would only recommend a competitor in Pacific Grove.
