MONTEREY & CARMEL
Monterey is a scenic California coastal city that rises from the pristine Monterey Bay to pine forested hillsides with sweeping bay views. The city’s natural beauty and historic sites make it a quality residential community and premier tourist destination. A small, liveable city that prides itself on being a clean and safe place to live, Monterey is known for its sense of community and hospitality. Monterey’s residents are culturally diverse, and the City’s designation as the “language capital of the world” reflects the language skills of its residents. WCD is proud to offer the best of the best when it comes to event planning in Monterey & Carmel.

Ocean Kayaking in Monterey Bay
Along Cannery Row is the kelp forest canopy of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Kayakers get an up close look at this wonder of nature teeming with wildlife.
You may be greeted by harbor seals swimming alongside you or resting sleepily on the rocks along the shore. Or you may be presented with a show by diving pelicans. Or you may see a raft of otters rolling and playing in the kelp. Each experience is unique and different!
Edible Excursion
Edible Excursions’ explorations take place in neighborhoods where small business owners, artisans, purveyors, farmers, and restaurant chefs share their personal food stories and their passion for local, seasonal, sustainable eats.
And, of course, along with learning about each area’s culinary and cultural background, guests are treated to signature tastes from seven to nine different stops along the way.
Cycling & Electric Bike Tours
Explore the Monterey Peninsula, from Del Monte Beach to Pebble Beach on your choice of a beach cruiser, road bike or even an electric powered bicycle.
Monterey & Pebble Beach are amazing areas for biking adventures. “These long beaches are enticing to the idle man. It would be hard to find a walk more solitary and at the same time more exciting to the mind.” R.L. Stevenson.
Sail Monterey Bay
Guests will greet for departure at the docks where guests will have a hand’s on lesson on sailing in the Pacific Ocean with professional guidance. All equipment is included. This will include a picnic luncheon on board the sail-boat, bottled waters, soft drinks, beer and wine for the adults if requested.
Each guest will receive a sailing certificate of completion on the lesson of the day. Return to the hotel in the afternoon.
Private Cooking Instruction
Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane you may ask? Because it’s one of the most thrilling experience of your life. After about an hour orientation, you and your instructor are strapped together as you rise to 15 or 18 thousand feet and jump into the big blue.
Monterey is an extra special place to embark on this adventure of human free (falling) flight as the scenery is truly beautiful. Also, since you are based at sea level, you have the opportunity to jump from 18 thousand feet which is rare for most facilities due to regulations.
