Beautiful memories of La Jolla! - It was great to learn so much about the biodiversity around the La Jolla beach! Our guide, Tylor was extremely well prepared and was an expert for this tour. Although some parts of the water were brown because of algae, Tylor was able to find a good spot for snorkeling. Kayaking was challenging than I thought (mainly because I lack arm muscle) but it was totally worth it! I would like to try this again when I visit San Diego and would recommend this tour to my friends.

Stunning caves and the area was full of marine life. - Tour guides were full of fun facts about the area and took us inside one of the caves. We will come back sometime and try the stand up paddle boards next time.

10/10! - Everything was amazing! I was nervous because it was a chilly/cloudy morning but ended up a beautiful day! We really enjoyed our tour guides (Michael & Georgio) who were very friendly & knowledgeable and catered to our specific group needs. Would definitely recommend!

Ocean adventures - We had an amazing time. The guides were great with enough information to make it informative and interesting with a lil bit of comedy thrown in. Thank you again for changing my day when I unexpectedly broke down. This was definitely a highlight of our trip thank you again. 😎

Solid tour, bit rough waters, great views! - We went on a slightly cloudy day, but it was a great tour! Solid workout, beautiful views, knowledgeable tour guide, and a great location in a cute part of town. I would do 5 stars, but I didn’t realize how seasick I would feel, so keep in mind if that is something you struggle with. Otherwise, great tour and beautiful views! Wish we saw more wildlife, but you can’t control the weather. Recommend this to see the ocean and La Jolla from a different view.

Kayak and snorkel adventure! - We enjoyed our tour with Josh! Very knowledgeable, flexible and helpful as was the whole team! It was the first time to snorkel and kayak for some of our group and they are excited for more! I would recommend bringing one’s own wetsuit however as it was tough to get one that fit well for all six of us and snorkeling could get a bit cold otherwise.

Fun Time Kayaking - The day that we did this excursion, the weather and waves did not cooperate. We could not kayak in the caves and the snorkeling was uneventful. What WAS fun were the two guides and that made the adventure worth it! kUDOS to the staff and thanks for the history and jokes along the way!! :-) :-)

Nice experience with the family - Nice experience with the family. We did however have to wait for a long time. They made us come 1h earlier and then they were late to start, so we end up waiting for 1h30mins.
Kayaks and masks were nice. My wet suit was a little worn off and didn’t keep me too warm. So if you have your own -bring it.
We saw seals and birds. The visibility of the water that day wasn’t great so we didn’t see much under water.
The guide was funny and friendly.
