Rejseplan
Pacific Grove-delen af vores Monterey-turné er nu overstået; den berømte 17 Mile Drive-del er ved at begynde. Dette er Monterey mest berømte "attraktion" og en af de smukkeste kystkørsel i verden. Bemærk: Turen er over 16 miles lang, med mere end 35 lyd historier, og tager omkring 2 - 3 timer at fuldføre. Ny, livslang adgang, ingen udløb. Brug det når som helst, på enhver tur, så mange gange som du vil.
Vi begiver os ud på denne naturskønne køretur i downtown Monterey, nær den historiske Fisherman's Wharf.
Vores udforskninger langs Monterey's Pacific Grove bringer os til Cannery Row, udødeliggjort af John Steinbeck.
Vores køretur ned ad Cannery Row ender ved Montereys næstmest berømte attraktion: Monterey Bay Aquarium. Dette er et valgfrit stop for dem, der ønsker at komme helt tæt på et stort udvalg af havdyr.
Vores køretur gennem Monterey fortsætter langs Pacific Grove, på vej tættere på topattraktionen: 17 Mile Drive. Undervejs ser vi smukke ejendomme ved vandet, den naturskønne Lovers Point Park og den umiskendelige Kissing Rock.
Vores Monterey-tur fortsætter rundt om Point Pinos Bend, hvor vi lærer om det berømte fyrtårn.
Hold øje med vores næste syn: Kysserklippen! Dette er ikke rigtig en sten. Det er faktisk en naturlig dannelse af to granitklipper, der er smeltet sammen over tid. Da de ser ud til at kysse, blev dette sted officielt navngivet "The Kissing Rock" i april 1970.
Køreturen fører os derefter langs Asilomar Beach, kendt for sine tidevandsbassiner, som myldrer med liv.
Vores første udsigt langs 17 Mile Drive-delen af denne Monterey-tur er ved Spanish Bay. Vi vil udforske Montereys historie, mens vi kører.
Vores 17 Mile Drive-tur bringer os derefter til Point Joe. Her lærer vi historien om to velkendte skibsvrag... St. Paul og Celia. Vi vil også forstå, hvorfor dette hav er kendt som "The Restless Sea"!
Point Joe er berygtet som stedet for adskillige skibsvrag. Udefra ligner denne strandstrækning indsejlingen til Monterey Bay-havnen. I virkeligheden har stranden en stenet undervandsforing, som intetanende skibe ofte styrtede ned på. Og Montereys tågevejr hjalp bestemt ikke på tingene!
Næste stop på vores 17 Mile Drive-tur er ved China Rock. Dette var det nøjagtige sted for en lille fiskerby fra 1800-tallet. Vi vil forsøge at få øje på mærkerne fra 1800-tallets madlavningsrøg, der er kaget ind i klipperne!
Denne klippe er et populært tilholdssted for den lokale fauna, når de vil have lidt nedetid. Beliggende i en lille bugt ved et af de bedste udsigtspunkter i hele bugten, er det hjemsted for spættet sæler, søløver og selvfølgelig mange, mange fugle. Hvis du besøger mellem november og marts, kan du måske endda se de fjerntliggende tuder af migrerende gråhvaler! Sørg for, at dit kamera og din kikkert er praktisk.
Dette bringer os til Bird Rock og Seal Rock, som begge altid vrimler med liv. Vi lærer, hvordan man kan se forskellen mellem sæler og søløver, og identificere et par af de mest almindelige fugle i området.
Mens vi fortsætter med at køre langs den naturskønne 17 Mile Drive, vil vi også være i stand til at stoppe ved Fanshell Beach Overlook.
Når vi nærmer os 17 Mile Drives mest berømte attraktion, Lone Cypress, lærer vi alt om cypresser – og hvad der gør dem så modstandsdygtige!
Mens vi kører, passerer vi Crocker Grove, som ærer manden, der næsten egenhændigt byggede 17 Mile Drive. Crocker gjorde en stor indsats for at forskønne kystkørsel og samtidig bevare dens naturhistorie og terræn.
Endelig når vi Lone Cypres! Lone Cypress står dramatisk på kanten af en klippe, indhyllet i tåge. Dens rødder er indlejret i et groft udspring på en granitskråning, og den er indrammet af en baggrund af høje, brusende bølger.
Pescadero Point er legendarisk med fans af det paranormale. Vi vil høre alt om de uhyggelige historier om dette stop.
Vores naturskønne tur til Montereys 17 Mile Drive ender ved den verdensberømte Pebble Beach, et paradis med uberørt hvidt sand og sensationelle kystklipper.

It was a little gloomy where we were so this was a fun way to enjoy the town without getting out to much
Vanessa, thank you for taking my 17-Mile Drive GPS audio tour from Monterey and Carmel! I’m so glad it was a fun way to enjoy the area from the car, especially on a gloomy day when getting out too much wasn’t ideal. If you’re interested in more scenic drives, check out my California tours, including Joshua Tree and Lake Tahoe. Happy exploring!
The experience was absolutely amazing!! I'd recommend it to anyone!! It was great seeing all the different little things I would've missed on my own!
Julia, I’m so glad to hear you had such an amazing experience with my 17-Mile Drive GPS Audio Tour from Monterey & Carmel! It’s wonderful to know the tour helped you discover all the little details and hidden highlights you might otherwise have missed during the drive. If you’re interested in more scenic drives, check out my California tours, including Joshua Tree and Lake Tahoe. Happy exploring!
I could not get the app to recognize my movement so it was basically useless. I ended up using Google Maps and went solo
Anthony, can you confirm that you hit “allow” for location permissions? That’s a necessary function for the tour and without it, the app won’t recognize your movements as you mentioned. Since you weren’t really able to take this tour, I’d be happy to exchange it for you.
Couldn't get app to work properly. Very confusing. Ended up turning it off and just following the signs beside the road.
Holly, I’m really sorry to hear that my 17-Mile Drive GPS Audio Tour didn’t work properly for you. I’d love to understand what went wrong. Was the issue during setup, during tour download, or with the GPS audio not triggering? Starting from the recommended point and having the tour fully downloaded usually helps everything run smoothly. My team is always available to walk you through the setup step by step so you can have a seamless experience. Please feel free to reach out—I’m available daily from 9 AM to 6 PM EST and happy to help.
Directions were great. Description of each attraction was very good. Took you to see guided and other sites along trail. Pleasant narration voice during tour.
James, great to hear you enjoyed my 17-Mile Drive self-guided audio tour. I’m glad the directions were clear, the attraction descriptions were helpful, and the tour led you to both well-known highlights and lesser-seen spots along the route. Happy to hear the narration voice worked well for you, too. If you’re interested in more scenic drives, check out my California tours, including Joshua Tree and Lake Tahoe. Happy exploring!
Easy to use app. We started in Monterey. Very detailed info to drive to Starting point and each stop. Clear instructions where to turn etc Highly recommend to use
I’m so glad you had a smooth experience with the 17-Mile Drive Self-Guided Audio Tour. I’m so happy the app made it easy to reach the Monterey starting point, and that the turn-by-turn directions and detailed stop guidance were helpful throughout your drive.

The system was always lagging behind the car.. became annoying, turned it off halfway. The route itself was nothing special, compared to what is available outside ‘the gates.’
I’m sorry to hear that your experience with my 17-Mile Drive Self-Guided Audio Tour didn’t meet expectations, Scott. Could you tell me more about the lag you experienced? Sometimes the audio can fall out of sync if the speed limit isn’t followed or if a detour is taken. Please also note that there are two versions of this tour, so choosing the correct one based on your starting location will provide the best experience. I’d love to learn more so I can pass your feedback to my team and make improvements. Feel free to reach out if you’d like me to process a refund or offer a replacement — I’m available daily from 9 to 6 EST and happy to help.
Don't bother. Just pay $12 at the gate and get the map. Inadvertently paid the money thinking that it included the entrance fee. Silly me.
Alexander, thank you for your feedback. I want to clarify that, as stated in our Viator listing, the tour only includes the self-guided audio tour and does not cover the entrance fee, which must be purchased separately. I've checked, and it appears that you've successfully used the provided password. My app works offline, allowing you to download the tour ahead of time. Our audio tours are valid for a whole year, providing you with ample time to utilize them. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out—I'm available daily from 9-6. If you'd prefer, I can assist with a replacement.
The app was hard to use and when it did play audio, it was a quarter mile behind us. It would tell us about points of interest we had passed 5 to 10 min prior
Scott, I’m sorry to hear that the audio on my 17-Mile Drive Self-Guided Tour didn’t stay in sync during your drive. The narration usually plays on time when the route and speed limit are followed correctly, as the app triggers stories based on your GPS location. Did you happen to take any detours or drive at a higher speed? That can sometimes cause delays in playback. I’ll share this with my team for review. Please reach out — I’m available daily from 9 to 6 EST and would be happy to help you troubleshoot or provide a replacement so you can enjoy the full experience.
The narration for the stops were a little delayed, however the information was helpful. This audio tour was for Monterey also but we did not make it to that part of the tour. We will use it if there is a return trip.
Dennis, I’m glad you found my 17-Mile Drive audio tour informative and enjoyed the beautiful drive! The narration delay can sometimes happen if the speed limit isn’t followed, so I always recommend staying within the speed limits shown on the app to keep the audio in sync. I’m happy to hear you plan to revisit the Monterey portion next time. If you’re planning more California adventures, don’t miss my All-In-One California Self-Guided Driving & Walking Bundle, which includes Pacific Coast Highway, Big Sur, Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Napa Valley, San Francisco, and many more.
