Big Sur Adventures, 17 Mile Drive

"This was our second time renting e-bikes for the 17 mile drive. Enjoyable. Only my seat gave me pain towards the end of our ride...next time I will ask for a better seat. Thank you"

"Excellent experience... It was obvious that our guide Flo really has a passion for what he does; warm personality, extremely knowledgeable, and customized our journey! He was interested in what we wanted to see and pointed out sea otters, whales, golf courses. The quality of the e-bikes were superb and pace was pleasant... such a beautiful way to experience 17 mile drive. We had wonderful weather and little vehicle traffic because it was the end of January. I was grateful to spend this memorable time with family on my 60th birthday, and Flo truly made it special. I would definitely recommend this ride to anyone visiting the Monterey-Carmel area... spectacular views!!"

"Our tour guide was Flo. He was full of information and shared history about the botanicals, sea life and the general living and lifestyle on the 17-mile drive coastline. Riding the electric bikes were so much fun. Big Sur Adventures provided gloves and helmets. Since I’m an occasional rider and very nervous driving alongside car traffic or near other cyclists, Flo made sure I was safe and comfortable with my bike. He used all safety precautions as we crossed the roads. It was an absolutely beautiful day — not cold or hot but just right. I could’ve stayed out all day with Flo. I learned how seals mate, how they were nearly extinct and how they multiplied. I have a greater respect for the Cypress trees and plant life. Standing at the 18th hole and shopping at Pebble Beach, even for a brief moment, was exciting. Thank you Flo. This was a memorable experience. We will back for sure!"

"We drew an absolutely beautiful sunny afternoon for our e-bike tour along 17-Mile Drive. It was just my wife and I, and then another couple on the tour. Our guide was Ben and he was outstanding, just so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about the tour. It is a great way to get back into 17-Mile Drive without having to pay the $10 just to drive on the road. You stop at a bunch of gorgeous lookout spots along the beach. If you are a golfer, like me, you also go by all but one of the great courses right there. They also stop and give you 30 minutes at the Pebble Beach clubhouse toward the end of the tour. You can wander through their golf shops, go down to behind the 18th green, etc. The e-bikes are a blast. Your guide will give you a lot of training, but when you take off with the throttle for the first time, it kind of catches you off-guard. It's real easy to pick up, however, and then it becomes a lot of fun. You can pedal some if you want, or just use the power. If you are at all considering doing this on a visit to the Monterey/Carmel/Pacific Grove area, definitely do it. It is so much fun, and the scenery is just incredible."
