Paddle a private guided sea kayak into La Jolla's illuminated sea caves, then snorkel alongside leopard sharks and California sea lions in a protected marine reserve.
What to expect
Launching from La Jolla Shores, your guide leads you by kayak along dramatic sandstone cliffs into sea caves accessible only by water. Afterward, snorkel gear goes on for a swim through the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, where harmless leopard sharks and curious sea lions are common sightings. The experience ends with a walk through the tide pools as your guide points out marine life underfoot.
