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!

I did it! - This was the perfect adventure for my family! My two sons 12 and 15 loved it and it’s hard to impress them these days! I was scared going in but the guide Victor was reassuring and I was able to do everything which made me very proud of myself. We really loved this experience and would never have experienced Torrey Pines like this without a guide!

Amazing experience! - This is more than a hike. It’s an adventure. The views are stunning! You will get a little dirty. Wear pants! Hiking shoes are definitely recommended. Our tour guide was great. Be sure to follow directions and you will have an amazing experience. My 16 year old wants to do the hike again. We did the steep side of potato chip rock yesterday. This hike was less strenuous and more enjoyable.

What an adventure! - We were on a girl's trip. It was great fun. Our ages ranged from 52 to 64. It was not a walk in the park, but super fun and exciting. I'm a little scared of heights and I was a little scared on this hike, but it was worth it . The guide was great and the views spectacular.
I would recommend this if you are the adventurous type.

Great adventure! - Really fun adventure with incredible scenery and perfect for my college age kids. I would highly recommend good hiking shoes that can handle some slipping and sandy/muddy conditions. Our guide was amazing and was there to help and encourage every step of the way.

Great Hike and Views - Victor was a great guide and the hike had great views and was interesting to explore the slotted canyon area of Torrey Pines.
