Join us as we uncover La Jolla's hidden treasures, where every step reveals a new story in this iconic coastal paradise. From secret sea caves to famous residents, this adventure offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and excitement. The tour starts along La Jolla's Coast Walk Trail, takes you past the iconic La Jolla Cove and Children's Pool, and then up into the village for a sampling of some of La Jolla's art galleries. And, because La Jolla offers more than we could include on this walking tour, we also provide an interactive map that allows you to discover even more points of interest should you have the time.

Great little walking tour

Published on Dec, 2024

This little walking tour was affordable and perfect. Informative and clear. The views were incredible. Would definitely recommend it.

Informative and fun!

This was a really fun tour I did with my children. Of course the most memorable moment was seeing the seals and sea lions. It was nice to hear the tour guide mention the difference between the two. I also would have never known why it was originally called “children’s pool”. I’m so glad we did this tour. It took us to some incredible places and the information was so interesting.

Feels like a local's guide to La Jolla

Published on Apr, 2024

This walking tour hit all the top spots around La Jolla Village. It was nice learning more about all the beaches and coastal parks. Restaurant recommendations were great. Also had so many hidden facts about the area. Who knew there was an actual smugglers cove in La Jolla? Highly recommended!

Beautiful. Suprisingly Breathtaking.

The tour’s local insights brought La Jolla’s history to life, while the picturesque views of cliffs and marine life added a touch of natural beauty. A perfect blend of culture and scenery for an immersive experience. The interactive map also enhanced my exploration, it was very user-friendly.
