Very fun experience. The process was very quick and then we were able to begin kayaking. The staff are all very kind and seem like they really enjoy what they do. While on the tour they’ll talk about La Jolla and its history . Overall would recommend this location and coming again . :)

Had been once before several years ago with my boys, wanted to take my wife this time. The waves were a little choppy following two days of rain, pushing through the break to start the tour was a little dicey (even the guide said so). Luckily nobody in our group tipped. It was an enjoyable experience, both guides were friendly and fun and informative. The views were great. Unfortunately we couldn’t risk going into the caves because of the conditions. Returning to shore and “surfing” the waves in was fun, but most everyone in our group flipped into the icy water. It was so cold (and I’ve experienced my fair share of cold water) that my legs were numb after walking from chest-deep water onto land. If we had tipped way out to sea, I would think hypothermia would be a possibility. They should provide mandatory wetsuits free-of-charge in the winter months, rather than charging extra for them (about half our group had purchased them, including my wife). Overall, a good experience and recommend doing it once.

First of all, the people/our guides were awesome. The checkin process was easy. BUT we don’t kayak! We only purchased this excursion to see the caves. On the way to the meet up place we heard EMS, fire trucks, etc with was more than an hour prior to our excursion. Once we were out in the ocean the guide announced that we were unable to go into the caves d/t whatever all the prior ruckus was about. They should have told us prior to going out, as we never would have done. Shame on them!!
