A well-supplied leisurely mountain hike with gorgeous views, great conversation, and relaxing meditation.
This was a lovely hike. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to our physical capabilities along the mountain trail. It was such a nice convenience to be supplied with a small backpack with a water bottle, maps, and hand sanitizer. The meditation at the top of the trail was so relaxing and peaceful, and the views were simply stunning.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you enjoyed the hike and the meditation. I'm glad you appreciated the small backpack. You two were an amazing couple to spend the morning with. Sunni

Only ONE Sister Had Fun, But it Was Awesome!!!
Great guide. Beautiful views. The guide offered the opportunity to meditate and clear your head or carry on a conversation... Your choice! It was great!
Response from the operator: Hi Cynthia! I'm so happy you enjoyed yourself on the tour. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with you. If you're ever in San Diego visit us again! Much love to you both. Sunni.

Relaxing, informative, spiritual
Sunni was amazing!!! She is so knowledgeable about the land and the area we hiked. She took time for a guided meditation and that was amazing. Great conversationalist and such a dope personality! 10/10 experience
Response from the operator: Hi Jordan! Thanks for leaving a review🤗 We had an amazing time on our tour. I wish you much success on your journey. Namaste.

Should be more of ‘scrabbling up a mountain’ with meditation at the top. And you’re gonna get dirty.
It wasn’t easy…Must have endurance! We went on a very warm morning (80’s). Wasn’t prepared for the amount of ‘scrambling’ up rocks that was needed to get to the top of the mountain. Temps were hot towards the end of the climb. Make sure you stay hydrated and go when it is cooler temperatures! Not for beginners.
Response from the operator: Hi Noelle! It saddens us that you didn't enjoy your experience. 🥲Most of the mountain hike going up has a clear path with steps provided, which classifies the hike as easy. I know sometimes going up can feel difficult with the sun. Gear, rope or experience is not required to hike this mountain, which makes it beginner-friendly. The weather is totally out of our control, us San Diegans wish for cooler days sometimes as well. We offer 8:00 am tour times to beat the sun, however you booked a later slot. San Diego was a bit warm around the time you visited. Unfortunately, mountains have dust, dirt and debris and can be dirty. All of your concerns are noted but they are things of nature that we can not prevent. We did however provide a safe hike, water, a calming meditation, kindness and respect. Ratings mean a lot to us and we worked hard to build our reputation and a very unique experience. We wish you well on your future endeavors. Much love, Frequency Tours.

Had a great experience! You get a little bit of a workout hiking the mountain, enjoy the views, and the meditation is peaceful as you learn to live in the moment and take in the beauty of the experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review! I'm happy you enjoyed the tour and were able to live in the moment while meditating. Namaste.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Diego.
How much does San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Diego usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Diego is not rushed.
Is San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Diego, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Diego can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Diego and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Diego within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Diego?
+
San Diego is an outdoor-first city: whale watching from December through April, La Jolla kayak and snorkel runs year round, harbour cruises and the USS Midway, plus Balboa Park museums when the marine layer sits low. We rank water operators on group ratios and gear quality, which is where the cheap La Jolla trips fall down. On Outty we rank every San Diego experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include USS Midway Museum Admission: Valid Any Date, Taste of Little Italy in San Diego, San Diego Whale Watching Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Diego?
+
March to May and September to November, either side of the June overcast. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Diego?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; Each participant will receive a thoughtfully equipped light backpack filled with all the e; Guide (English); Hand Sanitizer; and Blank Notepad and Pen. Not included: Breakfast; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour?
+
Your tour guide will have on a white sweatshirt and she will be standing at the Visitor’s center ENTRANCE (not at the actual visitor center). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is San Diego Mountain Hike and Meditation Tour offered in?
+
