Overview

This 90-minute kayak tour in La Jolla is designed for two travelers sharing one tandem kayak. A professional guide with expertise in natural history accompanies the group. After a safety briefing and paddle instruction, participants launch from La Jolla Shores beach. The route includes paddling along the coastline to explore the La Jolla Sea Caves and surrounding ecological reserve. The guide points out local wildlife such as sea lions, seals, dolphins, and occasionally gray whales. Paddlers may pass through kelp forests and rock formations, weather and ocean conditions permitting. The tour finishes with a kayak surf ride back to the beach. Life jackets are provided, and wetsuit rentals are available during fall, winter, and spring. Participants should expect to get wet and must be able to swim. The tour does not guarantee entry into the caves, as this depends on safety, ocean conditions, and ability as assessed by the guide. Children aged 6 and older can join but must share the kayak with an adult over 18.
