5.00Great e-bike tour starting in Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach and back. Our expert guide Suzy navigated us along the way and shared many interesting tips and facts.
Good vibes and great energy

5.00I really enjoyed this three hour E-bike excursion into Pebble Beach. We were blessed with amazing weather — we were able to see all the way to Santa Cruz. Along the way Flo pointed out whale spouts, sea otters, sagebrush, and a whole lot of other things. More importantly he kept the vibe super chill and relaxed. Although they have bike helmets and gloves if you have your own, bring them, they’ll probably be more comfortable.

5.00Great experience. Gorgeous scenery. So much better to see 17 mile drive on a bike than in a car! Fun thing to do with the family. Our tour guide, Flo, was awesome. Dress warm.
Suzy from Big Sur adventures went above and beyond. She is the best guide I could have ever hoped for.
