An unforgettable adventure
It was an AMAZING DRIVE full of beautiful scenery on BOTH sides of the road. Abundant wildlife and walks alongside the Pacific Coast were memories that won’t fade away soon. The narrator of the trip made reference to much of what we passed by and gave valuable insights, historical information and fun trivia that made the drive PERFECT! I would add that when you get close to Big Sur you begin an 80 +/- drive with no cell service (80 miles with 25-35 mph speed limits).

Enjoyable day. Pep was our tour guide and she kept everyone entertained throughout the trip to and from Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed a nice lunch, a sweet treat, and a stroll through Carmel before heading on to the Big Sur area.

Very much worth it, great information and the guide was very accurate. There were some stops we would’ve missed if we didn’t have this guide

Big Sur
Worked well with the mileage. Occasionally it seemed to miss a section so not sure if my fault or programs. Sometimes the last word was incomplete.

Great sightseeing tour
It was an exceptional tour. Our guide Tina was very accommodating and found hidden gems for us that helped us avoid the crowd. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the whole experience.

Lovely scenery all day!!
Began our journey with efficient, friendly, and informative staff at Big Sur Adventures. We rode down to Asilomar State Beach and then made our way slowly to Monterey’s fishermen’s wharf, making lots of stops. The bike path is especially nice in Monterey. Loved the fat tires—spoiled me for riding anything else again! An absolutely lovely day.

TOTALLY Amazing Experience
Amazing experience! We had the most delightful day with Tina our tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and helpful showing us the beautiful sites of Big Sur, Carmel and the surrounding areas! She asked about our interests and tailored the experience to what we wanted! My husband loved that he could experience the beautiful sites while Tina took care of all the driving! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE to anyone who is in the area! It is worth every penny!

When to visit

With few connecting roads, Highway 1 is prone to lengthy traffic backups, especially during the summer high season. Slow down and enjoy the views.
Perched on the coast, the road is vulnerable to rockslides, mudslides, and construction closures. Always check road conditions before departing for Big Sur.
There is no mobile phone service along much of the highway, due to its remoteness.
Those who suffer from car sickness may want to consider taking precautionary measures before a trip to Big Sur.
