Snorkel and Stand Up Paddle Board with Harmless Leopard Sharks in La Jolla!!

   At Hike Bike Kayak, we've been swimming and snorkeling along with the shy, sleek, spotted leopard sharks who come here to gestate in the warm and tranquil, shallow waters of La Jolla Shores. Our experienced naturalist guides have had much success capturing the congregating  leopard sharks on our La Jolla Shores Leopard Shark Snorkel Tour.  Here is a short clip of an unforgettable experience with the beautiful docile sharks. 

Prime viewing for the large leopard shark congregation in La Jolla Shores is July through September. These are the warmest water months in La Jolla. 

If you'd prefer another way to view the leopard sharks, we have a Stand Up Paddle Board and Leopard Shark Tour! We being with a quick lesson to make sure you are comfortable and balanced on the SUP. Then we cruise over to the La Jolla leopard shark breeding grounds while looking for bat rays, guitar fish, and of course, leopard sharks! The tranquil waters of La Jolla Shores in the summer offer the perfect paddle board setting.

Leopard Sharks Come Early This Year!

  Come late Spring, Early Summer, large groups of leopard sharks will congregate in La Jolla Shores. This local phenomenon happens just off the coast, among swimmers, kayakers, snorkelers and everyone enjoying this beautiful beach. Despite their ferocious name, Leopard Sharks are completely harmless and are more afraid of us than we are of them. Hike Bike Kayak is now offering our kayak snorkel tours here in La Jolla, which allows the opportunity to see these amazing, harmless creatures in their natural habitat. Of course, there is much more marine life to see, as well. These animals include, harbor seals, garibaldi fish (the California State fish), guitar fish, sheep head fish, moray eels, green sea turtles, spiny lobsters, and so much more! 

Book one of these unforgettable Kayak Snorkel Tours with Hike Bike Kayak to be sure to see these amazing creatures while they are swarming in our shores and cove!
