Morro Bay Whale Watching & Hearst Castle California Coast Tour

The Easiest Way to Experience California's Central Coast

This tour is ideal for visitors staying in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, or Pismo Beach who want to experience California’s spectacular coastline without the hassle of driving. Toast Tours provides private transportation, itinerary planning, local recommendations, and a seamless day combining whale watching, Hearst Castle, and optional stops such as Morro Bay or the elephant seals.

Experience the best of California’s Central Coast and do something other than wine tasting on a fully customizable private day with your own local guide. We’ll pick you up from Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, or Pismo Beach and take you wherever you want to go, from the rugged coastline to charming towns and scenic lookout points.

Start your day with a whale watching adventure in Morro Bay, where you might see breaching whales, playful sea lions and dolphins, or drifting sea otters. Relax over an ocean-view lunch, or explore the artistic town of Cambria.

After lunch, head up the coast to the legendary Hearst Castle to enjoy its art, architecture, and history, imagine Hollywood royalty gathering amid opulent rooms, sparkling pools, and sweeping views. You may even spot wild zebras, and if you’re up for it, we can check out the elephant seals.

This fully customizable California Coast tour puts you in charge, whether you want whale watching, Hearst Castle, coastal hikes, scenic spots, wine tasting or more.
