Highlights
  • 2800 Torrey Pines Scenic Dr - This incredible experience will start and end at the same location and has FREE parking. I am an expert guide and amatuer photographer. I will guide you into the most spectacular and hard to reach areas where others have never even heard about! We will descend into an incredible slot canyon with opportunities for one of a kind photos and breathtaking views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean. We will hike the sands of a secluded beach until we reach the mouth of our canyon where we will climb a short rope into a majestic green Grotto with a waterfall. We will visit amazing sandstone slot canyons and wind caves on our trek. The hike up is strenuous at times but you will be rewarded with a 20 million dollar view as we summit magnificent cliffs. The experience will leave you with memories and pictures that will last a lifetime! If you are wanting a more intimate experience with your group you can reserve the experience by contacting us and requesting a “private tour”.
    I can also add custom times for your group if you like…..just ask! It is not uncommon for groups to request Sunrise tours or full moon tours. I am happy to oblige!

Best hike in La Jolla! - Amazing tour and guide! My 13 year old girls had a blast! It was challenging at parts and you will have a cardio workout but worth it!!! The views and things we saw are exactly what we wanted out of this hike! My girls loved the adventure and were totally into it! 2 hours went by so fast! Victor, our guide also took the best pictures!

Fun hike with beautiful views! - Had such a great time with my family on this hike!. My kids are 18, 20, 23 and they all had a great time although one of them asked if I was trying to go home kidless😂 It is considered a moderate hike but some parts are a little hard. Be prepared to get dirty, and I strongly recommend your hands are free of anything. If it doesn’t fit in your pocket, don’t take it. We will definitely be doing it again!

Wonderful Experience! - A great adventure with a fantastic tour guide. He gauges the obstacles to the level of the group and ensures everyone is comfortable. Loved that he takes pictures of the group (there are amazing views too!) and shares them at the end. Definitely recommend wearing hiking boots and wearing old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty/damaged on the “sand slide”. Would recommend!!!

WOW! This is a MUST if you're in good shape, have decent balance and not afraid of heights! - WOW! What a fantastic opportunity that would have been impossible if not for our expert guide, Victor. Victor took great care of our group - providing excellent instructions, tips, cautions and encouragements! Full disclosure, this trail was a bit beyond my physical ability (I have short legs and I'm not physically strong), but with a helping hand here and there I did it and it was so worth it! If you are afraid of heights, have trouble with balance, or are really out of shape, this trail may not be for you. That said, this was a morning very well spent. I'm so glad I did this even though it intimidated me in a few places! The views are AMAZING - the photos don't do them justice! The cost of the tour is a bargain, so please tip generously! EXCELLENT!

Amazing hike with awesome views - What an amazing experience. Victor, our guide, was awesome. He was very skilled at hiking this canyon and we all felt very safe with him as our guide. Explained everything in advance and made sure the whole group had the same great experience. It was very challenging for me as a 62 yr old non hiker in good health who exercises regularly but Victor paid extra attention to me insuring my safety. Highly recommend this adventure!

An Excellent Adventure! - Victor was a fantastic guide. He knows the challenging parts of the trek & positioned himself to ensure all went well. And he took great pictures! Not an ordinary hike, but if you’re up for pushing yourself a bit, highly recommend!

Great Experience (for ACTIVE individuals) - Amazing experience with wonderful views. I would stress that you need to be in reasonably good shape and it will test both your strength, endurance, and balance. If you have a fear of heights, this is not for you. Victor, the guide, does his best to ensure everyone’s safety but even with that, a slip, a tumble, or a fall is a possibility. I would definitely recommend this experience for ACTIVE individuals.
