Full description

Discover San Diego's Marine Protected Area, home to a variety of fish, birds, dolphins, turtles, sea-lions, and whales. With the help of an experienced guide, explore the famous Sea Caves of La Jolla and paddle inside Emerald Cave in a double kayak. Watch sea lions sunbathing on the rocks and swimming in the sanctuary. Marvel at the bright orange garibaldi as they stand out among the vibrant green sea grass and numerous other fish swimming around and delighting the eye. In the summer and fall months, tour groups will often see harmless leopard sharks, and you may also find grey whales in their migration during the winter. You might even see dolphins cruising alongside your kayak before you make your way back and prepare to surf your kayak back to shore.

Really fun and adventurous for our family. (Youngest is 9.) People should be aware that the actual cave portion of the tour is a small fraction of the time. And waves kicked up and some people in our group weren't able to go in the cave. Most of the time is spent kayaking on the ocean on your way to and from the cave. Really cool: saw dolphins super close to our kayaks. Some in our party even saw leopard sharks, though I didn't. I'd do this again.

My boyfriend and I have been on kayak tours before, but nothing like this one! It was a great experience. We had two awesome guides, Danielle and Devin. Danielle was very informative when it came to wild life, and she had a lot of fun facts to share with us. Devin was awesome and was always right there if we needed anything. Devin noticed I was having issues with my helmet and did not hesitate to come help me… was always right there if we had any questions/concerns…. 😊 I highly recommend renting a wetsuit, we didn’t think we were going to get as wet as we did… lol, silly right? They offer them for an additional $12 dollars, which is so worth it. Honestly, I was a little anxious when starting off, but once you get the hang of it, it’ll be ok! We didn’t get to go into the caves because of the low tides but seeing all of the dolphins was so great!! I did not experience any motion sickness nor did my boyfriend but this is something to consider when being on the water.

Had a really fun experience with my friend. It was both our first time kayaking and Danielle did an amazing job telling us fun facts about the beach/water/sea animals, etc. We both thought Danielle was really funny and you can tell how much she loves the water life with her enthusiasm! Highly recommend coming here, not just for kayaking.
