At night, La Jolla Cove belongs to the sea lions and the surf, and the village above it goes quiet. That's the setting for this self-guided ghost hunt, played on the Questo app from Ellen Browning Scripps Park, past the Sunny Jim Cave and up through Prospect Street, Wall Street and Girard Avenue. Ten spirits are trapped along the route, all of them original characters, each stuck on the mystery that ended its life. You'll catch them by cracking their puzzles: an evacuation plan for a hotel on fire, four years of class registers with a phantom pupil, a museum's artifacts out of order. Every ghost you catch gives something away about the one that's been lying, and the last puzzle asks you to name it. Plan for about 90 minutes and 1.4 miles. Play whenever you like, alone or with your crew. If a puzzle stalls you, there are hints in the app and a support team who can help 24/7.

What are people saying about La Jolla

Yvonne_R, Oct 2026

Exploration for 2

This was an enjoyable, relaxing kayak trip. I liked the independence of going and hanging out where we wanted to. I was under the impression that this was a tour, but it wasn’t. It was for us explorer on our own, which was still fine. The employees were all very friendly and helpful..

The best experience!

This was an incredible experience! My wife and I were in San Diego for our anniversary. It was our first time there and wanted to try something different and this was everything we thought it would be. Our captain, Ryan, was the absolute best. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell he's passionate about sailing! We would recommend this to anyone!

Cali Dreaming Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla and Pacific Beach

Dianne_R, Sept 2026

5 Stars isn't enough!

Five of us had an amazing e-bike tour of La Jolla with James and Sam. We learned about wild life, history of the area, cultural facts, food of the area, and more as we were safely guided all around the area for over 2 hours. James & Sam were patient with those of us that were less experienced with e-bikes, and were consistently checking that the entire group was enjoying the afternoon. I can't say enough great things about both James and Sam and the tour of beautiful La Jolla.

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Devika_M, Sept 2026

Amazing experience

Was a great experience! Maddy was a fantastic tour guide; experienced, and very helpful for a newbie to sea kayaking like myself, helping to navigate waves, etc. I appreciated her dad jokes 😃. We saw sea lions in the water and up on the rocks and took a trip through the caves. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

Snorkeling Adventure in La Jolla

Alissa_D, Aug 2026

Roxanna was the tour...

Roxanna was the tour guide and she did a wonderful job she was very patient in helping with all aspects of the tour. I would recommend going earlier in the morning as the water is a little bit clearer first thing in the morning and starts to get a little murkier later in the day so the earlier you go the better for sure. But there were a lot of wonderful sea creatures to be seen. So be sure to bring the waterproof cameras so you can take pictures and videos of all the sea life you will see from your tour.

Original La Jolla Sea Cave Kayak Tour for Two

Dana_P, July 2026

Amazing experience!!!

We had an amazing ocean kayaking experience thanks to Garrett and Molly! They were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. Their passion for the ocean and marine life really showed, and they shared interesting facts throughout the tour that made the experience even more memorable. They kept the group engaged, made the trip fun with their great personalities, and ensured everyone felt confident on the water. We saw beautiful scenery and wildlife, and it was an unforgettable adventure. If you’re looking for a fun, safe, and informative kayaking tour, I highly recommend Garrett and Molly. They truly made this experience one we’ll never forget!

La Jolla Sea Cave Tandem Kayak Tour

Marissa_M, July 2026

So exciting!!

It was great. We came 30 minutes in advance and rented a locker for $7 and they provided us a helmet and life vest. We waited down by the beach until our tour guides came and they gave us a quick demonstration on directing your kayak and how to get out and back from shore, which was such a relief because it was a first time. We had a blast, it was definitely a good team workout lol and a wonderful date idea overall! ☺️ we did get sunburnt lol, make sure to apply before your trip!! You are out longer than your sunblock lasts

Behind-the-Scenes at Petco Park Tour

Marcy_B, June 2026

An Unforgettable Petco Park Tour Thanks to Ismael

Our family of five had an outstanding experience touring Petco Park, thanks to our incredible guide, Ismael. From the very beginning, his energy, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the tour engaging for every one of us. He had a great way of connecting with both adults and kids, sharing stories, fun facts, and behind‑the‑scenes details that made each stop feel meaningful. Whether we were in the dugout, the locker room, the press box, or taking in the views from the upper levels, Ismael made sure we understood what made each area special. What impressed us most was how personal he made the experience. He learned our names, encouraged questions, and made sure no one felt rushed. It genuinely felt like he cared about giving our family a memorable visit. Petco Park is already a beautiful stadium, but having someone as passionate and knowledgeable as Ismael guiding us made the tour exceptional. We left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for the ballpark. If you’re visiting San Diego, we highly recommend this tour — and if you’re lucky enough to get Ismael, you’re in for something truly special.
