Overview

Spend two days immersed in the beauty of the Pacific coastline, so inspiring to so many.

Been there and done it - and then returned to do it again! You can never get enough of this area.

You are about to find out why the California's Pacific coastline has drawn so many writers, artists, and plenty of hippies to this area looking for inspiration. This highway is a right of passage and you won't be bored. The scenery is unbelievable and thinking about the creation of this road will leave you gobsmacked! Though it is a drive of just a few hours, you will be crossing bridges, passing by bikers on the uphill roads, and visiting scenic stops and attractions as you go. This is a must-see drive, so dramatic that it is known around the world as Highway 1. In just a short time, you know you have moved far away from the city and you are witnessing small towns dotting the coastline, all with a very laid-back attitude. Stops are made along the way to see marine life in its natural habitat any time of the year. As you spend your time imagining life here, you might try to figure out what turned on many of the famous such as John Steinbeck, Henry Miller, and Jack Kerouac. If you have read any of their works, you will find a totally new understanding of their outlook on life and the influence this had on their stories.

The best thing about this adventure is that it is immersive. You will have two wonderful days exploring the terrain. Your guide is well-trained in the history of the area but has also experienced the activities available here, so you will be well-advised by your expert as you make your choices. You will have enough time to choose one of these optional activities if you wish - During that time you might find interest in taking a ride on an electric bike, or maybe an easy kayaking trip on a calm bay. These decisions are yours but facilitating them will be on your guide. There is even a well-known aquarium in Monterey Bay to visit.

During your evening you can explore the many seaside cafes alive with people in Cannery Row and visit some of the shops that reflect the talent in the area.

What you will find during your overnight stay at your seaside hotel is a lot of locals from Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and farther - cities that might have people in need of a spiritual injection, because this jaunt is unforgettable and will put you at peace.
