Explore San Diego Tide Pools with a Marine Biologist
Overview
Available languages
1 hour
Mobile ticket
Adventure with a marine biology educator along the coast and learn more about wildlife living in the intertidal zone of San Diego. Great for all ages and skill levels. There are some stairs and lots of uneven terrain we will walk on, so this is not a wheelchair-friendly activity.
I taught middle and high school marine biology for more than a decade before committing to environmental tourism! With fifteen years of teaching youth and adults in outdoor education settings, plus my background in conservation biology, provides guests with in-depth (pun intended) knowledge of marine life during our tide pool exploration.
Groups are kept small (10 people maximum, with exceptions for private groups/families) which makes this a more intimate and personal experience.

5.00This was a fantastic experience! My little amateur marine biologist was infatuated with the tide pools and having an expert really helped make it into a learning opportunity. But it was also fun and entertaining for our whole group of different ages.
Great family friendly tour
