Impactful Experience 

Enjoy a private tour of the Discovery Campus and participate in a hands-on oyster wattle building experience using recycled shells collected from local restaurants. Your finished wattle will then be placed along a designated restoration area of the trail, directly contributing to shoreline stabilization and habitat renewal.



This experience allows you not only to learn about local conservation efforts but to leave a lasting environmental impact on the lagoon itself.

Immersive Experience

This curated package makes it easy to enjoy your trip while supporting local organizations and getting hands-on with nature. Savor a true Italian dinner at Vigilucci’s Seafood & Steakhouse, featuring locally sourced oysters and a glass of Moët Champagne (included).


After a restful night, head to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation’s Discovery Campus for a guided, hands-on conservation experience. Using recycled oyster shells from local restaurants, you’ll create oyster wattles that help stabilize the shoreline and restore lagoon habitat — leaving a lasting environmental impact.
