Primarily trip was to Pacific Grove. Drove the 17 mile drive and another day we drove through Carmel Valley. Visit to the aquarium and some walking through Carmel. Location is great for a couple trip as well as family and friends. So much beautiful scenery!

Carlos was our driver for the day, and it was an incredible day from start to finish. He picked us up from the Inn we stayed at in Carmel and we were able to see everything Carmel, Monterey, and Big Sur had to offer. This was my 2nd trip to the area, but I was able to see and experience so much more with Carlos as our trusted guide. Having someone with local knowledge who ensured we have the best experience was PRICELESS, and he was friendly, personable and fun. This was my mom's first trip to the area, and she loves finding sea glass. Carlos was even able to recommend and take her to a beach where she walked away with some great finds! We both had an amazing time. FIVE-STAR-REVIEW for Carlos, Ben and others who helped make this trip a success. I would book again in the future and recommend to others.

We had an excellent day with Carlos touring the coast from Monterey to Big Sur. Carlos was patient, funny, and knowledgeable. This was a private tour so you can customize it as needed, or leave it to Carlos and everything will be fine. The following is our itinerary but if you want to be surprised and impressed then please stop reading. Stop #0: Carlos picked us up from our hotel (Hyatt Regency Monterey) at 9am (he can pick you up at whatever time you want). Stop #1: Drive through Carmel. We didn’t stop much in Carmel because most businesses weren’t yet open at 9am. Carlos offered to stop at a coffeeshop if we wanted to but I turned it down since we had just finished coffee at breakfast. Carlos drove through the famous streets of Carmel and pointed out many of the cool looking houses. One of them is the Clinton Walker House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. There is also the Butterfly House. The only stop we made here was for the Carmel Beach, but due to high tide, all of the staircases were blocked off for safety. Stop #2: Mission House. This is a big part of Carmel history. It costs $13 to go inside which we chose not to do. We are here for nature, with a small amount of history/culture. So outside is all we needed. Stop #3: Carmel Highlands Vista Point. Beautiful road side stop with views from all directions. Stop #4: Garrapata State Park. Here, Carlos parked at the Soberanes Point Trailhead and we hiked up to the Soberanes Point, then hiked back down and further down towards the ocean. The view was so grand that we spent a long time here. Stop #5: Kasler Point. Lovely view of the ocean here! Stop #6: Notley’s Landing Vista Point. Stop #7: Bixby Creek Bridge. This was so majestic and beautiful! Stop #8: Hurricane Point View. Hurricane Point has amazing views. Drive by: Point Sur Lighthouse. We did not stop at Point Sur State Park but Carlos told us about this park briefly. There are lots of hiking trails and a lot of history here as well. Stop #9: Big Sur River Inn General Store. Big Sur River Inn was a nice pit stop with clean bathrooms and a general store that sold some food, beer, and souvenirs. We each bought a can of hard kombucha and enjoyed them in our limo. Stop #10: Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Lots of beautiful redwoods and hiking trails here. We walked around the river and did a little hiking. Stop #11: Post Ranch Inn. Post Ranch Inn is a beautiful boutique hotel with gorgeous views. The rooms here are standalone little villas perched over the cliff side. Rooms start around $2000 a night. We made our lunch reservation here at Sierra Mar, a restaurant that’s breath taking as it sits at the corner with walls of windows of the ocean view. The restaurant is reservation only and they check to make sure your name is on the list before letting you into Post Ranch Inn. The lunch is on a prix fixe menu, with 3 courses, for $75 per person. The food was amazing, and with the view and excellent service, this was a must-do. Stop #12: Nepenthe. Nepenthe is a popular lunch spot. There is a shop and a full service bar as well. Of course, plenty of ocean view too. If you want to have lunch here, you would definitely want to get a reservation too because the wait time is an hour or longer. Since we already had lunch, we were just here for a drink. We decided to purchase a bottle of wine because they allow you to take the rest home and drink later. Stop #13: McWay Falls Road Side Overlook. McWay Falls has been on my bucket list since I was in high school. I don’t know why, but the idea of a waterfall falling from mountaintops directly into the ocean just fascinates me. There are only 2 waterfalls like this in the continental US, the other is near San Francisco, called Alamere Falls. Alamere Falls is a lot grander, but the simplicity of McWay Falls makes it more mysterious to me, and the fact that there is no way to go down to the bottom… (Well, there is a way, but it would require a private boat, and from what I hear, the view from down below isn’t as nice.) Caution: It is illegal to hike down to mcWay Falls. It is extremely dangerous, people have died, and if caught, the fine is serious. Stop #14: Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. During our visit, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park was closed for cars but open for foot traffic. We stopped here for a bathroom break and checked out the McWay Falls Trail to see what we could see. We know the trail was only half open due to recent heavy rain and rockslide. Turns out the trail closes right at the McWay Falls viewpoint so we got some nice pictures at the overlook here as well. Stop #15: Vista Point. Stop #16: Henry Miller Memorial Library. An eccentric little library that celebrates the life of Henry Miller. This was our last tour stop before being dropped off at our hotel. We had such a wonderful day. We did so much, yet never felt rushed.
