Select participants and date
Gliding along the sun-soaked sidewalks of La Jolla, California, aboard a nimble Segway, travelers find themselves swept into a coastal rhythm that’s anything but ordinary. The crisp Pacific breeze dares you forward as you coast past Windansea Beach’s jagged cliffs, where waves punch the shore with relentless energy. Nearby, seals lounge arrogantly on the Children's Pool, their balmy kingdom protected by a man-made sea wall that tames the ocean’s pulse just enough to invite these marine residents. This two-hour tour offers more than just sights—it delivers a practical traversal of a neighborhood that balances natural spectacle with California’s upscale charm.

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early to Avoid Traffic
La Jolla is busy, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your tour to secure parking or opt for ride-shares for ease.
Wear Closed-Toe Shoes
Closed-toe footwear provides better grip and safety on the Segway and when negotiating stairs like those at Sunny Jim's Cave.
Bring Layers and Sun Protection
Coastal breezes can be cool, and sun exposure is strong; layer your clothing and apply sunscreen for comfort.
Prepare for Moderate Mobility
Though physically easy, the tour involves climbing stairs and standing on the Segway, so basic balance and fitness are necessary.
