Family-friendly experience where you can both see and learn about life in our bays and oceans from a marine biologist with over 20 years of combined science, education, and museum experience.
Explore San Diego's hidden gem of snorkeling! Everyone who visits San Diego knows about La Jolla, but did you know there's an even better snorkeling spot? Avoid the big waves and crowds with this more relaxed snorkel experience geared for all skill levels.
Groups are small (maximum of 5 participants, with exceptions for private groups/families) which makes a more intimate and personal experience.

What to expect
*Swimming is an expected skill for this experience*
Mission Bay is a great spot for snorkelers of all skill levels! We will be snorkeling in a calm, flat body of water that feeds into the Pacific Ocean. Being in the bay, we typically encounter lots of invertebrates - including sea slugs, octopus, urchins - in addition to a variety of fish and interesting algae!
After a brief safety and snorkel etiquette talk, we will explore the area for one hour (60 minutes). I will point out and provide detailed information on the flora and fauna we encounter during the experience!
*Wetsuits are NOT provided and must be rented separately*
Any living animals found will be left on their own; we do not interfere, touch, or handle any living marine life, following Viator's Animal Welfare Policy.
If you cannot find a date/time that works for you, please contact me. I will do my best to accommodate you!
After booking you will receive more details within 48 hours, including wetsuit rental and meeting location information. Be sure to have notifications and/or emails from your booking platform turned on!
