Guided Eco Tours

Paddle birding in the Chula Vista Wetlands.

Two hours through one of the most remote, serene corners of San Diego Bay — reachable only by kayak or paddle board.

Why paddle it

A hidden gem, accessible by water.

We believe getting out in nature is one of the best ways to connect with ourselves and our surroundings. Discover the abundant wildlife that calls this place home — look closely and you might spot endangered green sea turtles and least terns, and catch stingrays and bat rays gliding below.

A one-of-a-kind exploration, and a favorite for a unique way to get exercise, a family outing, a romantic date, student field trips and environmental education.
