Monterey Bay is the premier destination for whale watching all year! We see whales every day here in Monterey. Our daily whale watch trips are narrated by a marine biologist or naturalist who provides educational and interesting information about whales, dolphins, and a wide variety of marine wildlife. In addition to teaching you about the wildlife, our marine biologists and naturalists will provide information about the natural history of the local area and talk about conservation. While out on the ocean, our marine biologists and naturalists are also collecting sighting data for scientific research. We are highly invested in learning about our local wildlife and serving as a data collection resource for other scientists who study our local wildlife as well.

Monterey Guided Wine Tours "We are dedicated to bringing our expertise and knowledge of each of the premier wine regions we visit, to help create the perfect wine tour experience for you and your guests" - Sammy Sammy's Facts & Bio My wine knowledge and wine making experience is well rounded. As a laboratory technician, during the 2010 harvest season, I helped evaluate grape juice, and followed up with laboratory testing through various stages of wine fermentation. I also was part of a 2 acre vineyard co-op in the Saratoga foothills where I helped produce 7 barrels of private stock wine each year. I have developed associations with local Monterey vintners and tasting rooms for the past decade, while creating close connections and friendships in order to create exclusive wine tour experience's for my guests. Our newest venture “Monterey Guided Wine Tours” and "Limo Monterey" are part of a plan that would tap into the growing popularity of the Monterey County wine region. With Wine Enthusiast magazine naming Monterey as a 2013 Top 10 Wine Destination in the world. Monterey will become one of the top wine producing and touring areas in the nation. We are now happy to offer Cannabis Farm Tours as part of your wine tour experience! I have lived in the Monterey County for over 20 years, living in the city of Monterey for the past 17 years. I'm passionate about living and doing business in this fabulous and dynamic part of the country.

Meanwhile, other boating trips consume huge amounts of fossil fuels. Also, sailing is quiet and does not disturb marine life communication. Professional and Safe Our captains are well trained, professional, and passionate about sailing. Most importantly, they put safety first and make sure that you are are comfortable.

Owned by Kyle and Liz Wareham, the company was founded in 1987 by the Knight family who grew the business for decades. Starting with six bikes on the back of a flatbed truck, Frank Knight delivered bikes around the peninsula so visitors could experience the beautiful coastline of the Monterey Peninsula. Bike rentals then evolved into bike tours and the location at Lovers Point in the quaint town of Pacific Grove was started with kayaking, surrey rentals, paddle boarding and beach activities. Later the main facility at 299 Cannery Row was started and followed by four more locations; downtown Monterey, another two location on Cannery Row and Stillwater Cove in Pebble Beach. In 2018 the business was sold to Kyle and Liz Wareham. The Wareham’s have been on the Monterey Peninsula since 2006 and have a love for the outdoors. Liz and Kyle both worked in hospitality industry for over a decade with Pebble Beach Resorts and got to know the Knight family well over those years. With continued enthusiasm for the outdoors, electric bicycles have been added to the fleet and have instantly became one of the most sought after activities allowing riders of all ability levels to experience the fabled coastline. In the fall of 2021, Adventures by the Sea expands again with opening their Family Super Center in the heart of Cannery Row at Steinbeck Plaza, poised to be one of the most family friendly locations for memories to be made for decades to come. Kyle and Liz are active in community affairs and in the ecological preservation of the Monterey Bay area. Both are avid paddle boarders, bikers and enjoy camping with their daughter Harper.

It’s time to Revive Your Adventure.
