Trip Descriptions:
Join us on a tour of La Jolla - one of the most famous and beautiful parts of San Diego! There’s so much to do in La Jolla: hiking, tidepooling, surfing, diving, kayaking, snorkelling, wildlife spotting, whale watching, paragliding, golfing, you name it! This is a blessing and a curse: we don’t have enough time to do everything, and a lot of activities are highly dependent on conditions.
On this trip, there are a few things we’ll guarantee:
1) We will do a short hike
2) We will spend time at the beach
3) You will see a sea lion
4) We will stop for local snacks
Outside of that, we will make game time decisions based on weather and water conditions
We could potentially:
snorkel with leopard sharks
tidepool
explore other San Diego beaches
bodysurf
visit a nude beach
find the lost city of Atlantis
dig a hole to China
save Shamu from Seaworld
ride a shark
listen to Adam yap
