Great tour - great guides.

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guides were fantastic. Did a good job of accommodating everyone's abilities and pointing out ocean life and providing some history of the area along the coast. We lucked out on weather and had perfect temps and water conditions. Got there early, parked a couple blocks of the Main Street (no parking time limit in the residential area a couple blocks away) and had a great breakfast at Shorehouse Kitchen up the street. Highly recommended!

Awesome Kyaking Adventure: La Jolla Sea Caves

Published on Jan, 2025

Ellie and Luca were superb, knowledgeable, and expert guides for this fantastic kayaking trip of a lifetime! Amazing to see so many peaceful, large Leopard Sharks, a Sea Turtle, Seals, and Sea Lions, as well as Pelicans. For novice ocean kyakers as we were, it is a good idea to bring a set of dry clothes :)

Best Day Ever!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our family had the best time!! Our tour guides Luca and Jonas were excellent at keeping the group together, spotting wildlife, fun facts/history about the area, and even a few jokes. We were so lucky to see dolphins multiple times during our tour! Definitely one of the highlights of our vacation!

Kayaking on the Pacific coast

Our tour guide Jonas was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable, funny, helpful, and made us all feel safe while directing us through the caves and over the water to look at all of the amazing geography and wildlife the area had to offer. The views of the leopard sharks, pelicans, cormorants, sea lions, and even a pair of dolphins made memories that will last a lifetime.

Great day!

We had a wonderful day out on the water with our guide, Chandler. The entire staff was so attentive and helpful. We saw sea lions and dolphins out on the water, it was a great experience. Definitely would recommend this company!
