Goals Met

Published on Jan, 2025

We really enjoyed our bike tour. I told our guide we had two goals: to find spots where I could take great pictures and to learn more about E-bikes because we are thinking about purchasing them. Both goals met. The area is lovely and the weather was perfect for being outside and taking pictures.

1st on Electric Bikes

Published on Jan, 2025

We got lucky today! Zane was our guide and he was super kind! Teaching us how to ride electric bikes for the 1st time! Great trip and he was extremely knowledgeable about the marine life, sea otters, sea lions and California Grey Whales! We bike 1/2 of the 17 mile drive. Stopped at pebble beach where they were setting up for the PGA open next week!

Such a beautiful and fun...

Such a beautiful and fun excursion. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the guide offered interesting information

Great views on a cool afternoon

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a cold clear day and it was a fun experience. The guide, Jack, was very knowledgeable and the bikes were fun. You don’t need to be particularly fit to enjoy this.

The best!

Published on Dec, 2024

Really a unique and awesome experience. Rained in the morning so Bug Sur suggested we change our reservation to the afternoon. Katie was a great guide. A must do!
