    A must explore cool experience. Super friendly staff and guidance. On time and the overall experience is very new and engaging … More with great views. I did the electric assist so not that hard for two people.

    Such a great experience, especially during a sunny Sunday. Thank you for the brief history. Easy online reservation and check … More in. Would love to do this again and bring other friends.

    VERY friendly/personable family owned & run business. They have fairly high overhead w/ $30k+ cost per custom built power … More assist bike/peddle car and $10k per month site lease and they commute in every weekend from LA area and have only been in business a year, delayed opening by the pandemic... So keep these factors in mind when considering the slightly steep price starting at $150 per CART (not per person... 2 on peddle cars, 4 on hand carts. A single person could do the right side of peddle car solo).1.5 HR tour through beautiful ocean front State Park.Alternatively, Park is also bikable, hikable with what appeared to be well maintained bike/pedestrian paved trails running most parallel to railline. But the unique experience of Handcar tours is worth the price at least once... over a bike rental.Must make reservations in advance. (But on a September Friday after Labor Day, I was able to make a same day reservation, the morning of).

    Wow! If you are visiting the Monterey area, You NEED to do this! My wife and I did a Friday morning tour ($10 off on Fridays). … More What a great experience! We did the electric assist tour for two, and it was much easier than we expected it to be. All said we did about 45 minutes of actual biking and there is a small break in the middle which is when the track is closest to the ocean for a cool view. The business is family owned, the owner gave the welcome and safety brief. It's clear they are very passionate about this and it really helped to make the experience fun! We will be back in a few weeks to bring some visiting family. The only down fall is that children need to be five and older for the electric bikes and ten and older for the manual hand carts. It would be cool if they add a children seat in the back to allow little ones to enjoy it. All said, it was a very cool experience and we are glad we did it. Well worth the money!Edit: Came back a few weeks later with family to try the hand cars. We really enjoyed the hand cars, definitely better than the bike cars but it's a close call, so I recommend both. My mom, my sister and myself were able to do the hand car. The first hill was the hardest part and after that we were able to get cruising. It was a lot of fun and our calves and arms are sore the next day but we got the cart moving pretty fast. We really enjoy it and enjoy talking with the staff who are all family members and are quite passionate about what they do! We will be back with other family members and friends. Thank you!
