Fantastic kayaking experience!

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. The company owner and guides were very friendly and professional. They treated all of the guests so well and answered everyone’s questions. They were very knowledgeable about local history, as well as the wildlife we saw. I felt very safe, and had so much fun! I plan on returning next time I visit Laguna Beach.

Dolphins, Pelicans & Sharks, Oh My!

Justin was a fantastic host and guide, getting us well informed and prepared at any experience level prior to launching. We saw a lot of wildlife including 3 dolphins surfacing nearby, multitudes of cormorants, pelicans, gulls and terns, garibaldis, calico bass and baby leopard sharks swimming beneath us in the shallows. Justin was very knowledgeable about the local history of the coastline and shared interesting stories about the coastal estates and their owners. The trip was eye opening and well worth the price. I highly recommend Laguna Ethos and Justin for tourists and residents alike.
