  • 5Great tour sea lion viewing

    We did a private tour for our family of 4 with Zane. The tour was great, well organised and Zane was fun and informative. We liked swimming into the caves and snorkelling around. We loved our tour and the close up time we had with the sea lion while he ate his lunch in the water.

  • 1Worst communication! Dont recommend this company at all!

    Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We arrived very early, checked in, and were told to go down to the beach and wait for our kayak tour. We followed the instructions and waited there. The guide eventually showed and was there for a while so we were just waiting for instructions. She suddenly left without saying anything so we were asked by other people what time our tour was, and when we told them, we were informed that our tour had already left. We were told to go back, meaning we never got to take the tour at all. What was especially frustrating was that we had arrived early and followed the instructions we were given, so this could have easily been avoided with better communication from the staff. We also paid $8 for a locker that we only needed for the tour.

  • 5Awesome way to explore La Jolla's waters

    My husband and I have recently moved to San Diego and wanted a guided tour to more comfortably explore La Jolla before getting around ourselves. We took the 2PM tour and got a solid 2hrs of kayaking and snorkeling at 2 spots. Snorkeling will always depend on visibility, but even without the best on the day, our guides Zac and Bryan did their best to find good spots for us -- and we were lucky enough to see some sharks! Overall, good value for money, very kind and thoughtful service. Highly recommend!

  • 4My family and I had a...

    My family and I had a wonderful experience. The kayaking part was somewhat strenuous but doable. We all were divided among double kayaks. Our tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The snorkeling experience was enjoyable. We did not get to see any leopard sharks, but were able to see a lot of garibaldi. Snorkeling right by the sea lions made for a memorable adventure. The water was cold at first even with the wetsuits, but we acclimated not long after. Overall, I would recommend this excursion.
