Secrets of the tidepools are revealed by CEDO naturalists during this 2-hour excursion to the rocky inter-tidal zone. Learn about the formation of the rocky coquina reef, as well as the patterns of intertidal zonation, adaptions to microhabitats as seen in the great diversity of species in the tidepools. (Dependent on low tide.)

To all these ecotours you should bring: water, snacks, hat, sunscreen, binoculars, camera. On the Kayak Capers, Estero Excursion and Tidepool Explorations you can count on getting your feet wet - at the very least. So wear shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting wet. For the Dunes and Pinacate trips, good walking shoes are in order. The Dunes trip involves a long but not strenuous walk. The Pinacate trip requires more driving but in both excursions there will be ample time to explore on foot these spectacular natural settings.
