Snorkel Tour
A great way to get up close and personal with the abundance of marine life in the cove is by snorkeling. Swim with turtles, watch bat rays scurry across the sandy bottom and even watch the leopard sharks come out and search the bottom for food (dont worry, they only eat plants).
La Jolla Seven Sea Cave Tour
Come experience the World Famous La Jolla Sea Caves via our 1 or 2 seat ocean kayaks. There is no better view of the caves than from the water looking up and out at the beautiful scenery. Come check out the caves of La Jolla today and have a great story to tell your friends.
Paddle Boarding
Stand up paddleboards are basically long and buoyant surfboards that you use a single blade paddle to propel forward. Paddling around La Jolla is great exercise and the high vantage point allows you great views of all La Jolla’s abundant Sea Life.
