Snorkel La Jolla Shores
Animal experience hosted by Danielle
90 mins
Includes equipment
Up to 10 people
Hosted in English
What you'll do
Ranked top 10 places in the WORLD to snorkel. Snorkel with sea lions, seals, shovel-nose guitar fish, stingrays, Garibaldi's (CA state fish), crabs, countless different fish & maybe a pod of dolphins. During the warmer summer months swim with HARMLESS leopard sharks, the biggest gathering of leopard Sharks in the world. Guaranteed each guest has an educational yet fun filled and safe experience.
If visibility & water conditions are good there will never be a dull moment. Mother Ocean is unpredictable; I always check the city’s water & weather conditions before heading out. If water conditions aren’t the best I have other snorkeling options nearby, we could reschedule or I can issue a full refund.
More details under "Guest Requirements".
Other things to note
**If the time/date listed doesn't work for you I can be flexible with availability on most days.** Please plan on arriving at least 30 minutes before the tour to check in, rent wetsuits, fitted for gear, etc.

I am a San Diego native, yogi & marine science nerd. I have led countless kayaking, snorkeling & diving adventures all around San Diego. If I'm not in the ocean diving or snorkeling I'm near it weather it be exploring hidden sea caves at negative low tides, seeking tide pools, lobster hoop netting or educating myself all about it. I love sharing unique experiences with those who have similar adventurous souls. Not many know about all of the hidden & amazing marine life San Diego has. There's nothing like having a local be your guide in this beautiful paradise I call home.

This was such a great first time experience for me. Danielle made me feel comfortable and had a great sense of humor. Even though the water didn’t cooperate the way we hoped we still saw some exciting sea life and I really enjoyed being able to get out in the water!

Amazing experience, I swam over at least 10 leopard sharks, saw a turtle and many gorgeous fish. I can't believe how close I was able to get to the wildlife but I truly felt like Danielle and all the other people respected the animals, which was important to me! Danielle was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the ocean, she was an amazing tour guide and I felt very safe the whole time.

Loved Danielle! She was very understanding as we were from Chicago and not use to the ocean environment, so we didn't get to finish the whole tour but she was definitely understanding and made sure we were okay! Would totally come back and recommend Danielle to anyone wanting to see cool ocean life!!
