About the event

Summer low tides in San Diego happen in the wee hours of the morning. Though many of us need caffeine to come alive, the critters on the coast are super active at this time. Within 100 feet, you can discover a whole galaxy of tiny worlds among kelp-covered rocks—each pool is filled with amazing animals that thrive and survive at the edge of land and sea.


Join me for a quiet, peaceful morning in the pools — it's summer beach fun without the summer beach crowds. I'll bring the tea, you bring your travel mug!


‣ Perfect for morning people, animal lovers, and ocean fans


‣ Duration: 90 minutes


‣ Location: La Jolla


Adults are $15

Kids age 5 and up are $7.50

Space is limited so register today!

Meet Your Guide

Hi! My name is Cypress 

As a naturalist guide and science communicator, my goal is simple: connect people with nature.

​

So they might want to conserve it someday.

So they can lead happier, healthier lives.

So they can experience the deep satisfaction of understanding the world around us.

 

I do this through immersive tours, community events, custom experiences, and real, human conversations.

I look forward to exploring with you soon!
