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 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.

5.00Matt was extremely knowledgable and taught about the tide pools in a manner that showed both his background as a marine biologist and as a teacher. The group consisted of people of all ages, from those with no background to people like our family, who work professionally with animals and in the sciences. We all learned a lot! Matt was funny, informative and made everyone feel included. Fascinating activity, and for very low cost, too. Just wish it could have lasted longer! Thanks, Matt!
You never know what you’ll find!

Tidepooling

5.00Tidepooling can be fun, especially if you know where to look. And Matt was a wonderful guide that helped to show and educate us on the tiny creatures living in these pools. Nice touch to provide pics as a reminder of our wonderful tour. For those not familiar with the area, walk a short distance to the Children’s Pool afterwards to see some larger marine life, including seals and sea lions
So much fun!

5.00So much fun and so informative! Matt helped us find so many cool critters! It did rain a little towards the end but he didn't let that rain on our parade. He even found us a huge snail and taught us how to properly and respectfully interact with ocean life.
