Cypress has a wealth of knowledge about the tidepools. Her communication style makes the experience interesting and accessible to beginners. We saw nudibranches, an octopus, Garabaldi fish, and so much more. I highly recommend this activity with Cypress.

Cypress was so sweet and really knowledgeable. She taught us so much and we really loved our tidepool visit. We would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning about the tidepools in La Jolla.

Cypress and the tide pools were one of the favorites of our trip - our whole family agreed. She makes learning and exploring fun and memorable. She made us all love tide pools and their amazing creatures.

This was a great experience. Cypress is extremely knowledgeable about marine wildlife and the ocean. She was a great host and she had lots of fun facts. She even gave us other suggestions of things to do the rest of the day.
This is a very cool and unique experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes to see nature up close.

I was crazy and we showed up a day early to the reservation. Cypress was so apologetic even though it wasn't her fault at all and worked really hard to try to get the next day to still work for us. In the end, we ended up passing on coming back. But the location was beautiful and she was so helpful, even being willing to move the time to make it work. I am kicking myself for messing up bc I know it would've been great. I hope we can come back and enjoy someday!

Cypress was a fantastic guide - warm, knowledgeable, and great with our kids (ages 14 and 12). We all learned a lot and had a wonderful time in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend! Thanks, Cypress!
