Head south of San Francisco and you'll find one of the most picturesque spots in North America – the Monterey Peninsula. With its high cliffs, sparkling Pacific beaches and large, native forests, as well as the fairytale cottages of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California dreaming may have been invented here! Monterey County is a truly inspired California getaway, and you'll get to spend a few days getting lost in some of the world's finest scenery, historic sites, art galleries and boutiques, and opportunities to go whale watching or zipping around in a Sea Car!

Zip and zoom around Monterey in a whole new way! Your GPS-enabled two-seater Sea Car is the perfect way to explore Cannery Row and other attractions, before cruising to the coast to enjoy one of the country's most scenic drives! And there's no need for maps, because the talking scooter car navigates (and narrates!) itself! If you follow the preprogrammed tour, you'll head for Lake El Estero and Asilomar State Beach, then to the Monarch Grove butterfly sanctuary in Pacific Grove.

There's something so majestic about witnessing wildlife in its natural habitat, and you'll get to do just that on a whale watching adventure! Onboard one of the industry's most comfortable boats, you'll float out to a protected sanctuary where breathtaking wildlife thrives. You may see Humpback Whales, Killer Whales, Gray Whales, Blue Whales, Sperm Whales, Risso Dolphins, Long Beaked Common Dolphin, Bottlenose Dolphin, Dall's Porpoise, Mola Mola aka Ocean Sunfish, Jellyfish, Sea Turtles, Sea Lions, Pelicans, Sea Otters and so much more! Meanwhile, onboard naturalists and marine biologists will deepen your knowledge and enhance the experience!
