I'm Natalie, founder of Niksen Travel and your travel agent. I recently visited Big Sur and was absolutely blown away by its dramatic beauty. It had been on my bucket list for a while, and when a close friend asked for a recommendation for her 40th birthday trip, we both knew this was the perfect choice. It’s easy to get to, yet feels completely removed from the everyday, offering the ideal mix of natural wonder and refined luxury.
Our highlights included strolling and savoring meals in a charming seaside village, hiking beneath towering ancient redwoods, watching orcas play while relaxing in an infinity pool, and soaking in breathtaking views around every turn.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply need a restorative escape, Big Sur delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
