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.

Learning about tide pools and all the fun animals was a great experience. Our kiddos 9 and 7 were very engaged the entire time. Matt is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

We had a great time exploring the tide pools with Matt! He was knowledgeable, and really taught us how to navigate the tide pools. It was fabulous to receive some pics of my family that Matt took for us.

Snorkel Matt was a fantastic tour guide. Not only was he very knowledgeable, but he was very patient and engaging with our five year old. He taught us all about the tide pools and marine life but he also inspired curiosity in science. He gave a safe, fun, educational tour and encouraged our young daughter to pursue science. Highly recommend Snorkel Matt for a tour of the beautiful La Jolla tide pools.
