Family-friendly experience! Explore the fascinating world of tide pools and discover the incredible variety of animal and plant life that inhabit these unique ecosystems. With guided tours appropriate for all ages, you'll learn about different species that live in the tide pools, their adaptations to survive in this environment, and what you can do to protect them. So come join us and experience the wonders of the tide pools! Tide pools, or rocky intertidal zones, are small collections of ocean water trapped by rocks as the ocean level recedes. This area is covered by the ocean half of the day- during high tide- and the pools are exposed at low tide, which creates a unique, yet fragile, habitat for lots of small invertebrates and fish. At our meeting spot, you will receive a brief talk on safety and tide pool rules, as all San Diego tide pools have a strict "no collection" policy. Once we understand how to tide pool safely and respectfully, the adventure begins! 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.

Meeting point

Please meet me at the green gazebo / large open sidewalk (ocean side of the street) across from 333 Coast Boulevard. The curb is painted red, so if you don't see a red curb you are not at the meeting location! I will be wearing a blue backpack with a blue flag.
