Chose the 9 am guided tour per recommendation when we called in to reserve, told it was the best time to go & it did not disappoint! Our Guides were Meg & Chelsea , they nailed it as our favorite tour guides of our week long trip to San Diego with all their area information & jokes. The water was so clear & relatively calm, they said it was the calmest day they had in over a week. I can't pick just one favorite of this tour, seeing the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, several sea lions, garibaldi, going in a actual cave & seeing several others up close from the water was beyond amazing.
