How's the snorkeling in La Jolla?Updated 2 hours ago

Snorkeling in the La Jolla Cove and Sea Caves is consistently rated as one of the top snorkeling spots in California! We’re thrilled to share this incredible underwater world with visitors and locals all year round on our snorkeling tours.

What to Expect

The area is part of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, meaning it's teeming with marine life. On a typical day, you can expect to see:

• Bright Orange Garibaldi: California's state marine fish.

• Playful Sea Lions: Often found lounging on the rocks or swimming nearby.

• Unique Sea Caves: Exploring these from the water is a highlight. 

• Pro Tip: Because the water is still on the refreshing side, we highly recommend renting a wetsuit for $15 to stay comfortable while you explore.

The morning usually offers the calmest surface conditions and the best clarity, so it's a great time to head out!
