Overview

Leopard Sharks Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour!

Every summer, the magnificent Leopard Sharks return to the shallow waters off La Jolla Shores (around July & August). We are lucky to be able to kayak a short distance, grab our snorkel gear and be mesmerized watching these graceful creatures swim among us.

These are true sharks, about 4 to 7 feet in length, though they have teeny-tiny mouths and are not a threat to humans. Kids are fascinated watching the sharks swim and feed, and will be snorkeling in no time with help from our guides.

After taking in the sharks we kayak over to the La Jolla Sea Caves and watch for more wildlife. We usually see seals, sea lions and the brilliant orange state fish - the Garibaldi!

We Kayak to the La Jolla Sea Caves. We finish up with a trip through the Giant Kelp forest and return through the gentle surf at La Jolla Shores.

Tour Details:

These magnificent creatures return every year to the shallow waters off La Jolla Shores, which is just perfect for viewing with a mask and snorkel. We paddle over and hop in for a great session of snorkeling lessons and shark watching. Don't worry, though they are true sharks, they are harmless as their mouths are to tiny to grab anything! After we get enough of the Leopard Sharks, we paddle over to the La Jolla Sea Caves. This approximately 2.5 hour tour has everything! Held daily during July through September.

What is Provided: Snorkeling equipment, kayaks (single or tandems), paddle, life jacket, and guide. Wet suit rentals are offered as necessary. We paddle stable, open-top (also called sit-on-top) kayaks, no experience is required.

What to Bring: Expect to get wet. Bring: shoes that can get wet (Tevas, tennis shoes, 'river shoes' or flip flops), bathing suit and or drip dry shorts/shirt, hat, sun screen. Bring (or buy from us) a 'leash' for valuable glasses. Optional: a surfing rash guard for snorkeling. You can leave a towel and dry clothes at our shop or in your vehicle.

After a brief paddle instruction and safety talk you will walk down to the end of the street with your guide.
