Highlights
- Kayak along the rocky coastline and sea caves of La Jolla
- Explore one of San Diego's most scenic shorelines
- Kayak lesson and all equipment provided and no experience needed
- Good chance of sighting California marine life in the wild
What to Expect
Meet your guide in central La Jolla before your scheduled departure. Begin with a lesson on paddling techniques and safety. Tandem or single kayaks can be selected at checkout.
Push off from the beach at La Jolla Shores and paddle along the rocky coastline, considered one of the most beautiful in Southern California. Follow your guide to the La Jolla Sea Caves, where you get up-close views of interesting rock formations and even paddle inside the caves (if conditions allow).
As you navigate above giant sea kelp forests, keep an eye out for local marine life including seabirds, seals, sea lions, and even dolphins and orca whales. Prepare to get wet during an exciting “surf ride” on the waves to get back to shore at the end of the tour.

Wonderful experience! The guides were so helpful, especially for a couple of rookies! We had fun, saw dolphins and a sea lion. Definitely recommend but be prepared to flip over the kayak a couple times.

Disclaimer: you don’t see the caves. I’ll start by saying our tour guides were awesome, super friendly, informative and great energy. However, this experience should not be marketed as a “cave tour” bc we didn’t even get close to the caves. Now of course, with anything outdoors…

Guides were nice but the tour was underwhelming. I doubt people ever get to go into the caves. If you have experience kayaking, you’d be better off to rent a kayak and go on your own.
