Monterey Cruiser Tour, Carmel, 17-Mile Drive, Cannery Row

Enjoy California's rugged coastline on the Pacific Ocean drive to Monterey through agricultural areas, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay and Moss Landing with a photo stop at Pigeon Point Lighthouse.

In addition to the guided short walks you will also have time on your own for lunch and shopping in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Option

Fast entry Monterey Bay Aquarium option—no long lines. (Guests who visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium may wish to skip Historic District and Cannery Row walks).
