Slow Adventure |

Signature Walk

Our signature SLOW ADVENTURE is called Walk the Bay, an unforgettable journey along the entire coastline of the Monterey Bay, from Santa Cruz to Monterey, done entirely on foot and almost entirely on the beach.

Explore the Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay has many amazing activities that you may also wish to include in your vacation. We help arrange excursions along the way including, surf lessons, whale watching, bird watching, kayaking, cycling, wine tasting, and horseback riding on the beach.

Bird watching

The Monterey Bay region has long been regarded as one of the greatest birding areas in the world. A wide variety of habitats- including mountains, shoreline, chaparral, sloughs, grasslands, and pelagic waters- a moderate climate, and the scenic geographic location guarantee a long and interesting bird list.

What is Inn-to-Inn walking?

Inn-to-inn walking means you walk the entire distance between lodging while your luggage is moved for you each day. Walk unencumbered all day. Enjoy all your creature comforts each evening.

Who are we?

Slow Adventure was born out of a desire to create a walking experience on the Monterey Bay to equal any of the great walks around the world.
