The La Jolla Ecological Reserve is a beautiful and internationally renowned snorkeling destination located in downtown La Jolla. Teeming with marine life both above and below the surface, we will introduce you and your family to its many wondrous and beautiful species.

Our guides will lead your family and children on an incredible adventure that starts at Scripps Park. Snorkelers will get to swim right over groups of schooling Garibaldi and Top Smelt, be up close with the Sand Bass and Surf Perch, and explore the many inhabitants of the local tide pools along the coastline.

Along the edges of the coastline are many tide pools where many other species can be found. Tide pools are rocky areas on the edge of an ocean that are filled with sea water. Many plants and creatures live there. For example, you might see starfish, anemones, urchins, barnacles, crabs, kelp and other sea plants in a tide pool.

Then relax in the park, while overlooking the the Pacific Ocean, with a healthy & delicious box lunch and water (provided as part of your adventure) and feel free to ask your guide any questions about some of the marine life you just saw.  Waterproof cameras are available for you to purchase.
