Overview

The Original Sea Cave Kayak Tour (90 Minutes in Length) offers unforgettable guided tours through the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. Each tour is lead by experienced guide(s) who ensure participants safely navigate through the unique ecological habitats while seeing different types of marine life. This highly-protected and unique area boasts one of the highest concentrations of sea-life in the West Coast. Guests commonly encounter seals, sea lions, and a multitude of birds and fish, and lucky guests might even see dolphins or whales! Towards the southern end of the Ecological Reserve, La Jolla's Seven Sea Caves patiently await, allowing participants to witness their beauty. Weather permitting, participants can kayak through the large sea cave that goes from the ocean into the Emerald Cove. Entry into the Emerald Cave depends on the safety, and is not guaranteed. Participants must be five years or older to participate in the tour. Valid for up to two people to ride in a double kayak.

Kayaking Trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

Veronica and Thomas were great guides! They made it a great time, saw a lot of sea life and can’t wait to come back another time!

Highly recommended. Prepare to learn, be engaged and entertained and get wet!

Published on Jan, 2025

I’ve been sea kayaking before, but Everyday California truly took it to the next level with their guided tour. Tori and McKenna were fantastic guides—keeping us safe, engaged, and informed throughout the experience. The tour offered a fascinating look at the local ecology, and we were lucky enough to spot dolphins, swimming and sunning sea lions, leopard sharks, a stingray, as well as various birds and small fish. The guides also shared intriguing stories about the history of the cliffs, making the whole experience both fun and educational. The balance of kayaking, exploring, and learning was just right, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced kayakers. Kayaks are available for solo or tandem use. If you plan to bring your phone or camera, be sure to bring a waterproof bag. Otherwise, you’ll need to rent a locker or leave it in your car. Wetsuits are available for rent, but we opted not to wear them as we were in Lululemon gear. Be prepared to get wet, though! While there are no showers at the shop, there is a cold beach shower available if you want to rinse off afterward. Overall, it was a great tour and an excellent value for the price. Highly recommend!

Sea cave Kayak tour.

Excellent tour with Toumas and Veronika. We saw sea lions, leopard sharks, and many dolphins. It was chilly but the water was calm and the wet suits made a big difference. Highly recommend this tour.

This tour was incredible!...

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was incredible! I will caution you that if you are a person who experiences motion sickness- TAKE ALL THE DRUGS. They have things that you can purchase in the shop. Better safe than sorry. That being said- Christian and Veronika were wonderful tour guides. They did an amazing job preparing us and sharing all kinds of interesting facts about local wildlife and the biodiversity in the cove. We saw dolphins and sea lions that were very near us in the water. It was amazing. I only wish that seasickness hadn’t cut our experience slightly short. But that was my own fault. Even in that situation- Christian towed our kayak for a bit to give me a chance to recover and made me feel 1000% better about such an unfortunate and embarrassing situation. Would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone!

Beautiful scenery and awesome tour guides

Published on Dec, 2024

We made the choice to do this trip same day and Everyday California was very accommodating and called to follow up about reservation and advise of timing, arrival, etc. Once we arrived everyone was very nice and helpful. Guided us through the process of prepping and introducing us to our amazing tour guides Tuomas and Josh who were very friendly. Knowledgeable on the water and made everyone comfortable as many of us were beginners. Josh provided a lot of history about La Jolla, beach, coastal line, development, sea life, etc. We learned a lot about the area while also having calm waters beautiful scenery. I would definitely suggest this tour to anyone interested. If I lived in CA this would be a place i would definitely go again. Shout out to Tuomas and Josh for making this such a fun tour!
