Voyzo runs 3 private tours in Monterey, California, covering 5 top attractions — each with your own guide, driver, and vehicle, and an itinerary built around your group rather than a fixed bus schedule.
Monterey is a small city on the central California coast, built around one of the richest marine environments in North America — Monterey Bay, protected as a National Marine Sanctuary running along much of the coastline. The city's identity is tied to the sea: it was once the center of California's sardine canning industry, later immortalized in John Steinbeck's novel "Cannery Row," and today its waterfront still holds the historic canneries, now home to shops, restaurants, and the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Just outside the city, 17-Mile Drive winds through Pebble Beach's cypress-covered headlands and championship golf courses, and Point Lobos State Natural Reserve protects some of the richest near-shore marine habitat on the coast. The bay itself is one of the best places on the West Coast to see marine wildlife from the water — gray whales migrate past in winter and spring, humpback whales are more common in summer and fall, and sea otters and harbor seals are common sights year-round.
Private Tours
A small-boat wildlife cruise on Monterey Bay, inside the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, with a knowledgeable local captain searching out whales, dolphins, and sea otters — Voyzo books this as a private charter for your group only.
Private Tours
A private chauffeured tour along 17-Mile Drive and the Big Sur coastline — the Lone Cypress, Pacific Grove's Monarch Butterfly area, and a scenic pass by Bixby Bridge.
Private Tours
A private tour deep into Big Sur — Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park's redwoods, Bixby Bridge, and an optional visit to McWay Falls, one of California's most photographed waterfalls.
Every Monterey tour is matched to your party size — here's the fleet we draw from.
| Vehicle | Model | Capacity | Best For |

Cannery Row
Monterey
A historic waterfront street of former sardine canneries, made famous by John Steinbeck's novel of the same name, now lined with shops, restaurants, and views of Monterey Bay.
2

Fisherman's Wharf

Monterey's historic working wharf, lined with seafood restaurants and shops, and a common departure point for whale-watching and fishing boats on the bay.
5
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Monterey
A rugged protected reserve just south of Carmel with cypress-covered headlands, tide pools, and some of the richest near-shore marine habitat on the California coast.
Monterey Bay sees whale activity for much of the year — gray whales migrate past in winter and spring, and humpback whales are more common in summer and fall — so there's rarely a bad season for a boat trip on the bay, though sightings are never guaranteed.
Downtown Monterey, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf are walkable, but 17-Mile Drive and neighboring Santa Cruz — where some boat tours on the bay actually depart from — require a vehicle.
Coastal fog is common, especially on summer mornings, and the water is cold year-round — a warm layer and windbreaker are worth having even on a sunny day, especially out on the water.
The US dollar is used, and tipping 18–20% at restaurants and for tour guides or boat crews is standard.
Boat tours searching for whales on Monterey Bay sometimes depart from Santa Cruz Harbor rather than Monterey itself, since both cities sit on the same bay — check your meeting point carefully when booking.
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary protects one of the richest marine ecosystems in North America, home to a deep underwater canyon that draws whales, otters, and sea lions close to shore.
