Description

Paddle to the sea caves of La Jolla and snorkel within the surrounding Ecological Reserve to observe local marine life up close, including Garibaldi, leopard sharks, rays, and other species.

During the calm summer months, snorkel two distinct habitats: the rocky reef between Goldfish Point and Emerald Cove, and the sandy flats outside the Marine Room. The reef and caves host fish such as Garibaldi, sheepshead, and blue moon. Nearby, sea lions, Brandt's cormorants, and brown pelicans are commonly seen. The sandy flats at La Jolla Shores harbor harmless leopard sharks, bat rays, and shovel-nosed guitarfish. These shallow waters are rich with life during the warm water season.

All snorkeling equipment and wetsuits are provided and can be kept for use throughout the day after the tour ends.
