We had a blast!! Double kayak riders 😎 The entire process couldn’t have been more simple. Everybody working was so friendly and helpful too. And what a deal / great price for the experience. We’ll be doing it again next time we’re in town

Super fun experience to...

Amy_A, July 2026
Super fun experience to do with your partner, family, or friends. It was a beautiful overcast day when we went and we did the kayak for 2 so it wasn’t as tiring like solo kayaking.

Fabulous Experience!

Yesterday was my first...

Lily_T, July 2026
Yesterday was my first time kayaking, and it was such an amazing experience! We spent two hours on the ocean, and every minute was so much fun. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. A special thank you to our instructor, who was so kind, patient, and enthusiastic. He guided us all the way out to the ocean, explained everything clearly, and made me feel safe and confident even though it was my first time. He also had such a great personality and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I truly appreciate how much effort he put into making sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable kayaking adventure. I will definitely come back!

There was a discrepancy...

Marcus_W, June 2026
There was a discrepancy with the correct kayak rental place because of the name but once I got the right one it was awesome time. Very helpful staff, and made the adventure easy

Great experience

Thu_N, June 2026
The staff was so friendly. We were so late for the schedule, but they were flexible and let us rent the kayak in 90 minutes

So much fun 😃

Easy and fun

Christina_N, Apr 2026
Checking in and out was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rental location had small lockers to secure our phones and small items (for a fee) and changing rooms. We definitely got very wet and appreciated the changing rooms. Our booking was 90 min and we found that was plenty of time to spend on the water.

Friendly Staff, kayaking...

Jun_Z, Apr 2026
Friendly Staff, kayaking @ La Jolla is hard to beat with nice water & scenic beaches. Spring time is cool & breezy, wear sunscreen though

Great tour !!

Great rental, well coordinated. Easy to find and walk was short. Highly recommend it to anyone! Lots of fun

Wonderful experience!

Traci_C, Feb 2026
Great experience and wonderful staff. I’ve kayaked in that location before and really appreciated the assistance getting through the surf.

A fun afternoon!

Vanessa_C, Nov 2025
Be prepared to get wet! The tour guides Hannah and Devon were so knowledgeable and kept everyone safe. It was a fantastic afternoon! Even saw two leopard sharks while kayaking. 10/10 will come again!

Blast!!!

Sandra_P, Sept 2025
This was our first time kayaking. What a great experience. We had such a fun time. Our tour guide was amazing and fun.

Nice area

Sage_H, Aug 2025
No parking, have to park in surrounding neighborhoods & walk. $6 Viator fee that I wasn’t expecting and they hold a card while you’re out there. Rental lockers are available. The life vest were sandy and we were rushed out the water before out time was up.

Misleading misinformation

Luisana_Y, July 2024
I booked this experience specifically asking for a tour and the person on the phone secured me that it was included with one and he was wrong they were completely booked so we didn’t get to have the experience we wanted

Tranquility like none before!

Rochelle_B, July 2024
The kayak adventure was so much fun!! We were celebrating life. It was so great to be out in the ocean, bobbing on the calm waves - such tranquility! It was amazing!!!!

Great fun for all ages, I...
