Explore La Jolla’s beaches, wildlife, and coastal viewpoints on an open-air golf cart tour with a local guide and scenic photo stops.
About this tour
Feel the Pacific breeze as La Jolla unfolds from the open-air seat of a custom electric golf cart. This guided La Jolla Coastal Golf Cart Tour pairs dramatic ocean scenery with local stories, wildlife, and tucked-away corners that are easy to miss on your own.
Begin with pickup at a La Jolla hotel or meet your guide at 1111 Prospect Street. Visit La Jolla Cove to look for sea lions, then continue to Children’s Pool, where harbor seals gather, and explore tide pools when conditions allow. The route takes in Marine Street Beach and Windansea Beach, known for its surf and historic Surf Shack, before climbing to Mount Soledad for sweeping coastal views. Finish at La Jolla Shores, with scenic stops and photo opportunities along the way. Bottled water and snacks are provided for the ride.
The cart makes it easier to cover La Jolla’s varied coastline without navigating between stops yourself, while a local guide adds context to the beaches, landmarks, and neighborhood. Tour timing and access to tide pools or hidden beaches can vary with traffic, tides, and ocean conditions. Book your La Jolla Coastal Golf Cart Tour for a breezy introduction to the coast and its hidden gems.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in La Jolla
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
