La Jolla Shark Snorkel Tour

Explore the sandy flats and sand dollar beds, and swim over the kelp reefs to look for lobster, rays, the occasional sea turtle, and the unique 5-foot shovel nose guitar fish. Swim amongst dozens of harmless leopard sharks congregated in the shallows at La Jolla Shores, and enjoy an up-close experience you won’t soon forget. Tour is approximately 1.5 hours. Participants must be 8 years or older and must be able to swim. No experience necessary, but tour requires moderate swimming ability.
