Avoid Crowds and Major Parking Concerns with this Lovely Private Guided Hike Full of of Beauty & Stories - Monica is the perfect guide to this park that is rich in nature, beauty and history! So fun to view through her scope the basking seals & a mother otter and her baby! Worth it, including a private spot to park. Do NOT wear shorts, even if it’s hot out. You’ll learn why. We will be doing it again!

Point Lobos incredible views, fascinating history! - The Point Lobos Nature Walk was great! The vistas were amazing, the cypress trees impressive, and our guide, Monica, ideal. Monica is a local enthusiast and an expert, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended!

Excellent Tour Guide and Goregous Views on an Easy Hike - Monica was an outstanding guide! She shared her wealth of knowledge with us about the beautiful Point Lobos area. She made the hike enjoyable in every way. She brought her binoculars so we could see coastal wildlife (including Harbour seals and sea lions) and shared so much about the rich history of this special land and seascape. I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Breathtaking and insightful. - Monica was wonderful! She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We would definitely do other tours with her. Great experience!

Great guide! - This tour was incredibly fun and Monica is a wonderful guide! She is very friendly and welcoming and really engages with each person on her tour. It was a true hike, so there was a little bit of uneven terrain, but it wasn't too bad and mostly very easy to traverse. I highly recommend taking this walk!

educational family friendy - Family friendly hike. Efficient and educational way to explore Point Lobos. It was my first time here with my family and it was so nice to be be guided through a large part of the park. Our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kept the pace. I had 3 toddlers (4.5, 4.5 and 3 years old). They did well for their age and we understandably trailed the end. Very enjoyable and so fun! I would love to do this every year! You wont regret it

Excellent outdoor experience - This was an excellent hike filled with memorable descriptions of wildflower and tree ‘behavior’, so that the information could be easily recalled later. Monica’s history teaching and stories were also colorful and engaging so that the information was interesting and memorable. The ages of the group ranged from 3 years old to 78. To her great credit, Monica made the hike work well for everyone.

Point Lobos tour - Monica was a lovely tour guide and wonderful story teller. Her dog, Heidi, greeted all of us warmly before we left for the hike from their home across from the state park :) The hike was absolutely breath taking!! Fair warning it would be challenging for very young kids or seniors who are not able to walk off the beaten path or do stairs. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend it!
