La Jolla Coast Bike Tour with Downhill Ride from Mt Soledad
2h30
About this activity
Meet your guide at the local bike tour office in La Jolla, where you’ll be fitted for a Bianchi hybrid bike. Then hop in the tour vehicle for the short drive to your starting point at the top of Mt Soledad, the highest coastal peak in the San Diego area.
Admire the 360-degree view of the city and coastline, and then strap on your provided helmet and take off, zooming down the mountain as fast (or as slow) as you want. Ride about 3.5 miles (5.5 km) toward the ocean, soaking up La Jolla’s quaint atmosphere and picturesque scenery.
When you get to the coast, stop at La Jolla sea caves, where you can hop off your bike and enter the only cave accessible by land, Sunny Jim’s, reached by a tunnel known as the Cave Store. Then head to the Children’s Pool and seal beach to check out the town’s famous harbor seals. Enjoy a stunning photo op from the 100-foot (30-meter) bluffs overlooking La Jolla Cove and Ecological Reserve, and take a look at the marine life in the tide pools.
Continue your bike tour by pedaling south to San Diego’s popular surf breaks at Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. Then head back to your starting point via quiet back roads, soaking up the laid-back ambience of San Diego’s beach communities.
Total biking distance is approximately 10 miles (16 km); the pace is not strenuous and the terrain is mostly downhill or flat, but you will pedal over a few short hills (you can get off and walk if needed).

What a blast!! Great ride, beautiful views and stops along the way. Helpful and fun staff. Would do it again.
On this typical, sunny and gorgeous San Diego day, we started at the top and wound our way down the side of the mountain on the coast. Nothing but pleasure and a good work out. Felt great! Our guide had story after story and comments galore that helped us appreciate this area. I highly recommend!
HIghly recommended. Easy bike ride down from Mt Soledad with an occasional hill Guide Nick was very informative about the beaches, geography and marine life
This is an awesome tour, and Garrett is a great tour guide! It's the perfect way to see the highlights of La Jolla. Well worth the cost.
Really enjoyable trip. Our guide Bree was fantastic. Highly recommended.
