Fun to see all the wildlife in the ocean. More fun than I expected, tour guides had great sense of humor and the location is beautiful.
Great adventure- we got to see lots of wildlife and learn a little bit about the coastline. I was a little nervous because I had never kayaked on the ocean before, but everything went really well. Our guides were great! Note to self : don’t forget to put sunscreen on the tops of your feet!
We loved our experience here! They were very flexible to help us reschedule our tour time so that we could still go and the tour guides were awesome! We felt very safe the whole time, and they led us to such cool spots! Thank you !
Addison and Analee(?) were fantastic guides; they were funny and informative about the native sealife/habitats and the local history. had a great time out on the water-got to see the sealions at the caves, waters were clear and cool. Would recommend :)
I had a very good experience and the guides are very informative.
Bring clothes that you’re comfortable getting wet in, in case your kayak flips over. I went in just a swim suit and my partner went in his swim trunks. We got to see seals super close, about 2-4 feet away and see a bunch of different fish under us.
This is the second time I’ve done this tour - once with my husband a few years ago and now this time with extended family members. Both times I found this place to be well-organized with good communication. Our guide was Cody and sorry don’t remember the other one’s name. But they were fantastic and took good care of us.
We enjoyed our 2 hour afternoon kayak trip. Parking near the shop and La Jolla in general, is difficult. Give yourself plenty of time to find somewhere to park or Uber there. Yasin and Kyle were good guides. We paddled near the caves, but didn't actually go in due to lifeguards denying access. We saw a lot of sea lions. No complaints. Great way to spend an afternoon in La Jolla.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip. The guides were fun, helpful, and friendly and the sights were all incredible. Would recommend this to anyone who is physically able.
I visited the resort a few weeks ago to attend a wedding. I could not believe how beautiful it was. The grounds are well maintained and the best part of the hotel is the staff. I was greeted upon arrival by Issac, he was kind enough to escort me inside to the front desk. Great Professionalism! Isabel checked me in and gave me a great room facing the golf course! I really enjoyed the live music from Veranda as the atmosphere was welcoming. I can’t wait to go back again!
