Excursion à Monterey et Carmel avec l'aquarium en option

1 jour
A propos de cette activités
L'excursion à Monterey et Carmel vous emmènera le long de la côte Pacifique de la Californie vers le quartier historique de Monterey et la ville pittoresque de Carmel by the Sea, avec un trajet à travers Pacific Grove entre les deux. L'aquarium de Monterey Bay possède une importance géologique et biologique : il dispose d'une incroyable abondance d'animaux marins juste au large du sanctuaire national marin de Monterey Bay, qui longe le spectaculaire littoral californien sur 444 kilomètres. Monterey Bay fut l'endroit où les premiers Européens ont visité la terre, devenue ensuite la Californie. Plusieurs vagues d'industries baleinières et de pêche exploitaient au large les richesses naturelles de l'immense fosse sous-marine. John Steinbeck (Les Raisins de la colère) a grandi à Salinas et a consacré une grande partie de ses efforts créatifs à écrire sur la région de Monterey. Parmi ses livres, deux d'entre eux sont Tortilla Flat et Cannery Row.
Vous commencerez la journée en voyageant vers le sud sur la célèbre Pacific Coast Highway, California Highway 1 (si le brouillard le permet). Après un arrêt facultatif à Santa Cruz, une pause détente et les arrêts photo facultatifs durant le trajet, vous mettrez le pied sur la célèbre Cannery Row de Monterey pour avoir une chance de vous promener parmi les boutiques et de prendre un déjeuner de fruits de mer frais. Si vous apportez votre propre déjeuner, vous pourriez être en mesure de faire un court voyage au sein de l'aquarium de Monterey mondialement connu (entrée non incluse). Après le déjeuner, vous pourrez suivre la côte à travers la magnifique petite ville de Pacific Grove durant le trajet vers la 17 Mile Drive. Cette route célèbre se faufile entre les magnifiques villas et le littoral spectaculaire, entre les greens et tees des parcours de golf mondialement connus comme Spyglass Hill, et parmi les dernières forêts d'une espèce d'arbres rare, le cyprès de Monterey, sculpté continuellement par des brises marines dans des formes fantaisistes. Le Lone Cypress est un exemple très poignant de l'un de ces arbres robustes qui s'accrochent à la vie (avec l'aide de l'ingénierie humaine) dans un emplacement apparemment impossible.
Le trajet se terminera à la communauté de Pebble Beach, où vous pourrez visiter leur boutique Pro Shop et découvrir le célèbre 18e green. Lorsque vous avez payé aussi chère l'entrée aux greens, vous n'arrêtez pas au coucher du soleil et ne partez pas au 16e trou ! À votre arrivée dans la ville enchantée de Carmel by the Sea, vous pourrez explorer les boutiques d'Ocean Avenue ou vous laisser émerveiller par la plage de sable blanc. Si vous disposez de temps et si cela vous intéresse, vous aurez la possibilité de visiter un dernier lieu, à savoir l'historique Carmel Mission. Cette excursion permet également de faire des arrêts facultatifs à Half Moon Bay ou Santa Cruz. N'oubliez pas qu'il s'agit d'une visite semi-privée, ce qui signifie que l'itinéraire peut être personnalisé selon vos centres d'intérêt. Venez et participez à notre excursion de Monterey et Carmel dès maintenant pour une expérience magnifique.

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.
