Took my wife and 4 kids on the kayak and snorkel tour. Our two tour guides were great to work with. They were helpful and made sure everyone was safe and enjoyed their trip. We had an 11, 14, 16, and 18 year old with us.

Elvira O., San Diego, CA
You are given kayaking instruction so that you’re comfortable being out on the water. It was my first time kayaking but I felt safe, confident, and just really excited to be out in the ocean. They want you to feel safe and they want you to have fun!

This was an incredible experience! The staff aids you getting in, out and through the water and they were so helpful, nice and attentive…I got to see some sea lions and seals up close…which was absolutely amazing!

La Jolla Kayak has been my favorite place for kayak tours and rentals since they opened about 20 years ago. We have taken probably dozens of family and friends, and everyone always loves it.
