Your Itinerary

17-Mile Drive

Explore one of the most famous and prominent golf resorts in North America.

Admission Included

Spanish Bay

Home to many restaurants, beautiful views, and a world famous golf course.

Point Joe

Point Joe is the 5th point on 17-Mile Drive. Its coastline is made of Granite rocks formed 65 million years back and it gives this coastline a rugged look. The place had several shipwrecks in history due to its rocky shares and its location near to Monterey Bay. The place has ample parking and sitting benches to relax. There are several information boards to read about the place. About the origin of the name Point Joe, there is debate over that for years now. Some historians believe that there was a Chinese man who lived in a driftwood structure here in the early 1900's that sold goods to explorers. It is unclear whether Point Joe was named for the Chinese man or if the man was named after the location. A great place to look out for everyones favorite marine mammal the Souther Sea Otter.

China Rock

See the place where an old, Chinese fishing village used to sit.

Bird Rock Vista Point

Leslie was an excellent guide. The bike ride was very pleasurable. We saw things that I never realize were there, Leslie provided great historical descriptions, and fun facts about the area. I never would’ve done a trail like that on my own, her knowledge of the area and what to expect, provided a safe and highly enjoyable experience.

Leslie was a wonderful guide and shared many facts and stories about the area. The bikes really allow for all ability levels to have a great time. Highly recommend!

We loved our electric bike guided tour. Emily was our excellent guide. She was patient and attentive to the group and made a special effort to accommodate requests. While one can rent an electric-assist bike (which are fun indeed to ride and very helpful on our 20 mile ride) but we would have missed so many sights and interesting places not having a guide. We decided to depart out of the MDE bike shop in Monterrey rather than downtown Carmel because more of the ride is via a bike path versus having to share the road with cars. We had a great afternoon and would love to do another guided bike ride with this company on a return trip to Carmel.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Shels! The e-bike was easy to ride and had plenty of stops to see all the view points. I highly recommend experiencing 17 Mile Drive with Mad Dog!!

Tour leader was pleasant but not very engaging. For couples that might not be adept at biking, she went too fast. Roads were narrow, curved, and had a significant amount of traffic. This made it problematic to look around at what were many beautiful sites. Tour was a bit misrepresented on your website-we expected it to be on trails or paved bike paths.

This was a lot of fu! Be prepared as you are on a road with often no bike lane and with cars trying to pass can get quite close as they try to get by. Leslie was great guide! If the sun had come out the views would have been so much more spectacular but it was still a great way to experience the 17 mile drive.

Let's me start by saying we had high hopes for this activity based on reviews and the appearance of the shop. Everything looked so nice and it seemed like they knew what they were doing until we arrived and chaos ensued. Nobody greeted us as we entered and then it took forever for us to get checked in. The blonde older woman who we talked to first was very rude to her staff and then wasn't the most friendly with us. We then proceeded to hear her talk badly about who we would later find out is our guide. After some lengthy talks and walk throughs we hit the road. The route was okay the first portion wasn't very scenic but the second half along the coast made up for it. The guide seemed new and struggled with questions about the local wildlife or didn't have answers which was a bit disappointing. Overall I felt like this was a bike shop who just decided to star to doing tours so hopefully they will figure it out or were just having a off day. But not a very enjoyable experience for myself or my partner.

We had a great time. Isabelle was amazing guide. We spent just the right amount of time stopping for photos and looking around. This was our first time on electric bikes and she show us how to operate and were easy to use and made going up hills every easy.

Greatly enjoyed the tour. Lesley was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. E bikes in good condition, we had clear instructions and picked it up right away. We saw so much that you would have missed from a car, the wildlife was amazing.
