    Two to three hours of snorkeling in La Jolla Cove — swim with sea lions and explore ancient sea caves with expert guides.

    I highly suggest this experience for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and thorough about safety before we entered the water. He gave individual attention to people of varying skill levels, though basic swimming ability is recommended. We encountered plenty of marine life, including small horn sharks. While the seals and sea lions maintained their distance, they were still present nearby, and the ocean landscape was stunning.Andrea_M on the Guided snorkeling tour at La Jolla Cove with sea lions and sea caves tour
