The Experience

The tour kicks off at Coronado Tidelands Park, where you meet your guide in a free lot and get fitted for a helmet. After a few minutes getting comfortable on the electric scooter in a stress-free setting, you're ready to move. From there, the route takes you through the park itself, where you'll see views of downtown San Diego across the water before heading toward Ferry Landing. You stop to take pictures along the way—all photos are included in the tour.

At Ferry Landing, you pause to explore the shops and waterfront on foot, taking in views of the bay and skyline. Then the guide leads you through quiet residential streets and neighborhoods as you cross to the other side of the island, where Coronado Beach and the Hotel Del Coronado come into view. You stop here to explore the 1890s hotel and its grounds, learning about its history while the guide takes more pictures. This is the highlight of the route—time to walk the property and see why the hotel matters to the island.

The final stretch follows the shoreline toward the Coronado Bridge, an impressive span you'll see up close before heading back to where you started. The whole loop runs 90 minutes, and since you're on scooters the entire time, there's no walking required to cover the island's major sites.

Do I need to know how to ride a scooter before I book?

No prior experience is necessary. The guide meets you at Tidelands Park and goes over the basic operations of the electric scooters, then gives you a few minutes to get comfortable in a quiet setting before the tour begins.

What happens at Ferry Landing?

Ferry Landing is a quick stop where you get off the scooters and explore the shops and waterfront area on foot. It's known for incredible views of the bay and downtown San Diego skyline.

Are photos really included, or is that just the main stops?

Photos are included at multiple locations throughout the tour, so the guide captures your adventure across several spots on the island, not just one or two.

Can I ride if I've never ridden a bicycle?

The tour is not recommended for people who cannot ride a bicycle, since the scooter requires similar balance and coordination. If you're unsure about your ability, contact the operator before booking.

Bring sunscreen and drinks, which the tour does not provide. The guide supplies helmets, and a backpack is included so you can carry your belongings while riding.
