MONTEREY STATE HISTORIC PARK

Natural site to discover
3/5
1 review

In addition to the gardens, the main attraction is Louis Stevenson House. It is in this Victorian house that Robert Louis Stevenson dropped anchor time to find the inspiration for its L'Ile masterpiece with the Treasury. He spent there a few months during 1879, still unknown. A stroll in the peninsula of Monterey inspired the design of its imaginary island.

Caution: take care to call before your visit to check the opening of Louis Stevenson's House. The house has been closed to the public due to budgetary restrictions, and does not open longer in summer, thanks to the help of volunteers of the region.

MONTEREY BAY WHALE WATCH

Water tours and activities

Whale-watching tours led by marine biologists in Monterey Bay. For over 30 years, this company has filmed documentaries for Nat Geo and the BBC, among others. During orca and humpback whale season, easy online booking is recommended. The minimum tour is 3 to 4 hours to see the whales in high season, but you'll need to take the 8-hour tour to see the whales and orcas in April-May when they're in the bay. A tour we recommend if you're here in spring.
