Paddle toward La Jolla’s sea caves, then snorkel in the Ecological Reserve and look for Garibaldi, leopard sharks, and rays.

About this tour

Paddle along the La Jolla coast and explore the waters of its Ecological Reserve on a guided kayak and snorkel tour. The outing pairs time on the water with a chance to spot local marine life, including Garibaldi, leopard sharks, and rays.

Your guide leads the way toward La Jolla’s sea caves, while provided kayaking equipment and snorkeling gear make it easy to switch from paddling to exploring underwater. A wetsuit is included, too. The tour lasts 150 minutes, and ocean and safety conditions determine the route. Entry into a sea cave is not guaranteed, and water visibility can vary. Participants must be able to swim and should have a moderate level of physical fitness; the minimum age is 8.

Arrive 30 minutes early and wear swimwear beneath your wetsuit. Set out to discover La Jolla from both above and below the water on this La Jolla Kayak and Snorkel Tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.20 from 137 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 4.5.
