What you will visit:Monterey Bay Aquarium
Monterey Bay Aquarium, located in the Cannery Row district, is a gorgeous complex with 34 major galleries with 200 exhibits on 550 marine species. The structure of the aquarium rests directly on the Pacific coastline, offering an immersive and interactive experience made possible in part due to direct access to the waters of the ocean. Home to a wide array of sea life, it includes colorful fish hidden in kelp forests, sea horses, jellyfish, penguins, octopuses, rays, sharks and fan favorites: the giant sea otters. Huge tanks, touch pools, feeding shows and one of the world's largest marine tanks: you might feel as though you are actually under the sea. Binoculars and telescope stations, found on the outside decks, allow for sea lion, whale, dolphin and otter sightings directly in the Monterey Bay.
What you will see along the way:
Monterey
Captivating Monterey is one of California's most gorgeous coastal cities. Known for its spectacular shoreline, Monterey delights inland as well with a plethora of historic buildings, a world-class aquarium, wonderful museums and the iconic Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row with their salty charm straight out of a John Steinbeck's novel Cannery Row. Alvarado Street is the downtown most famous street, lined with unique shops, trendy restaurants dishing up the popular specialties, and lively bars serving wines from local vineyards. The Monterey Peninsula has the largest population of sea otters on the California coast plus additional marine life viewing of seals, sea lions and whales whose migratory paths bring them offshore in the spring and fall months.
