La Jolla Kayak & Snorkel Tour

The La Jolla Ecological Reserve is one of California’s premier snorkeling locations, and our Kayak & Snorkel Tour is an awesome way to see the marine life living in La Jolla. This tour is one of our favorites, so expect an experienced guide to give you a chance to swim with La Jolla’s best: sea lions, Garibaldi, bat rays, shovel nose guitar fish, even dolphins and sea turtles if you’re lucky!

You’ll kayak out into the reserve with your guides, who will lead the group to the best snorkeling spot on that day. One of your guides will drop anchor, secure your kayaks, and lead you snorkeling in the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, pointing out the marine life as you go. Guests must have a basic swimming ability, but no previous snorkeling experience is required.

Wetsuits are an additional cost.

  • It was a great experience!
    We saw leopard sharks, guitar fish, and rays. Some who went closer to the reef saw garibaldis and other fish. It was my first snorkeling experience in years and I think I'm addicted.

  • I would go back in a minute
    Our guide gave us an amazing snorkel tour of the La Jolla sea caves and nature preserve. We saw garibaldi, shovel nosed guitar fish and leopard sharks not to mention sea lions and incredible diving fish. Our guide gave us great info on the sea life as well as the history of the area.

  • The perfect place to book any kind of California experience!
    Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and fun! It was so nice to have someone so welcoming out on the water with us! We saw many leopard sharks and other sea creatures. We will definitely be back next visit!!

  • Had a blast!
    My 2 teenage boys and I are here from Richmond, VA on vacation. We booked the kayak and snorkel tour ahead of time and had a blast. We saw seals, dolphins and sea lions. The guides told stories and had a great sense of humor. Thank you for showing us beautiful La Jolla!

  • Such an incredible experience!
    My partner couldn’t make it, so I ended up sharing a kayak with my guide — such an incredible experience! It was so calming while also getting to learn about the history of La Jolla and the caves!
