Breathtaking and exhilarating coastal ride!

The ride along the coastal trail was breathtaking! Loved heading towards Miramar! Rob was an amazing tour guide with lots of local information. He was extremely safety conscious of our group and gave great instruction on how to properly use the bikes and traffic patterns. Watch out for the “bollards”!

Half Moon Bay

overall it was pretty fun. two of the places no longer existed so it was frustrating searching for something that was no longer there. Might be a little easier if instead of looking for a specific store if you said for instance find an art piece, that way we're not looking for an exact gallery, and Half Moon Bay there are a dozen galleries so we could have wandered into anyone and made that happen. Just an idea. One fun experience was when we were looking for the old building with the turret and then we turned the corner and it was right in front of us! It was also fun getting a video of a local and why they like living there.

Fantastic Coastal Ride!

From booking online to meeting our guide to biking the coast, this tour was everything we hoped for and more! Rob was an excellent leader, with clear directions and hand signals, and his history of the area and landscape offered great insight into the region. It was a beautiful clear day of 65 degrees, and we appreciated Rob suggesting we bring jackets because the fog rolled in at one point that really brought the temp down. Once we left the area, it was back to sunny and mild. A cool highlight was witnessing sea lions play and bark in the marina. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the coast, breathe the ocean air and get a little exercise!
