Top-Rated Adventures in Monterey
We rode the peninsula and the 17 Mile Drive. We had so much fun, and the bikes were amazing! We are going to do it, again, in a few months can't wait. Adventures By The Sea were great in terms of customer service. They helped us determine what was best for a day excursion. Thank you!

We had a blast! A few of us had ever kayaked before and they were helpful and made us excited. The best part is that there’s no time limit for the price so we spent lots of time seeing otters and seeks in person.

My husband and I and our 3 boys biked with Anne and then kayaked in the kelp beds with Jan the next day. Both experiences were fantastic. We especially loved the kayaking. The staff at Adventures by Sea is kind and patient and great with kids.

My two sons rented kayaks and has a fantastic time exploring the ocean! They saw loads of sealife including sealions and sea otters - and lots of big birds apparently! The staff were really friendly and chatty and helped them sort out everything they needed. A great experience.
