Highlights

La Jolla Outpost is committed to clean and functional equipment. I’m an avid snorkeler myself and I thought to myself, “ If I was on vacation why would I spend money on a mediocre snorkel set that I have to pack into my suitcase after only using for a couple hours and never use it again. Why isn’t there somewhere I can rent quality snorkels at…

Great customer service - We had a great experience. The staff were professional and helpful. We did not get to snorkel in La Jolla cove because the lifeguards told us not to go out due to the waves coming into the cove. We returned to the rental office and they offered to refund the rental fees even though we had already taken the equipment down to the cove. If I could give them more stars I would. They are a great business. We also found the most reasonable prices on souvenir shirts in their shop. I highly recommend this company and I recommend checking the surf report on the day you plan to snorkel.

It was a seamless process... - It was a seamless process from start to finish. The hardest part was finding parking because it was a holiday. The employees were wonderful and helped fit us for wetsuits and flippers. We were able to keep them all day and there were multiple places that we could snorkel throughout La Jolla. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but there’s nothing to be done about that. Would definitely recommend!

Caves - Seeing the caves and the sea animals was amazing . An unforgettable experience. We spent 3 hours out in the ocean exploring due to the convenience of the all day snorkeling package. It was practical and affordable.

So much fun ! - Definitely recommend this if you’re going to San Diego, especially to see the sea lions! I didn’t see any in the water because they were all sunbathing, but lots of girabaldi and seaweed, keep your eyes peeled for any other creatures! 10/10 will be coming back.

Truly Memorable - The customer service was great and very informative for our first time in San Diego. They made sure we had equipment that fit well and guided us through the process. Some of our party saw sharks and interacted with a sea lion in the ocean.Super cool experience for everyone! Definitely worth it!

Not the best snorkeling place - The snorkeling was horrible. I don’t know if it was the weather but you could not see any sea life. The sea lions were a nice surprise but it was crowded and we were disappointed with our experience.
