Explore San Diego Tide Pools with a Marine Biologist

Explore San Diego Tide Pools with a Marine Biologist

Overview

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.

We had an awesome time on this experience with Matt! He was very organized and provided detailed instructions prior to the event. He is very knowledgeable about the fish and sharks we saw, and we felt very safe the whole time. Swimming with the sea lions was a once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend this experience with Matt!

Thank you very much Calli! [To clarify: this review is for a separate snorkel experience I host, and not the "Explore Marine Life in San Diego Tide Pools" experience.]

Our group had a great time with Snorkel Matt. He was informative and helpful, especially with my mom who was a little uncertain of her footing. He's a former teacher who is also good with kids' questions. I purchased this off of Airbnb since I have an account with them. Definitely bring some spare shoes for the car and most importantly give yourself an extra 10-15 mins to get parking if your time slot is past early morning. Your time slot is based off the tides, so Matt can try to be flexible with your schedule, but understand that it's all about the tidal charts!
