Activities are typically cheapest in January (around USD 94), roughly 32% below the priciest month in July, so visiting in January can mean lower activity prices — which also aligns with the quieter August seen on demand. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

How far ahead should you book?

Plan ahead so you don’t miss out

What to know before visiting Monterey

Monterey at a glance: coastal sights and outdoor tours

Monterey draws most demand for tours and outdoor experiences, with bookings peaking in early summer and a quieter stretch in late summer. The city's rhythm on Klook shows a strong spike in demand around June and much lower activity around August.

When to visit: seasons, crowds and how prices move

Klook booking data shows June as the peak month for demand, while August records the lowest demand. Prices on Klook tend to be highest around July and remain elevated into August, then fall through the autumn and reach their lowest typical level in January. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, visit around January or the shoulder months in autumn; if you want the full summer atmosphere, aim for June or July when demand and the lively vibe are strongest. Note that demand peaks in June while prices peak in July–August, so crowd levels and costs do not line up perfectly.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Plan ahead: travellers from the Philippines typically book about ten days in advance, with many locking reservations a few weeks out for peak travel. For flexible, shorter trips you can still secure activities close to travel—Klook shows many last-minute bookings—but during June and July it helps to book earlier to get preferred times and tours.
