What a blast! Flynn and Ella were amazing and it was a educational ride. Seals were amazing to see and be so close. Thank you for a great time!

So much fun! The guides were great and we had a wonderful time! We would definitely do it again. My husband grew up in the area, but even he learned some new things about the area.

It was a really good day for us. You meet at their sister store a bit further down Avenida De La Playa to get outfitted with helmet and life vest. Donā€™t be confused by the street address given online. The sign on the door tells you where to go. Youā€™ll then walk a couple of blocks to the beach/put in point. It is sea kayaking so it has its unique qualities, and the guides will help you with that and everything else you want and need to know. Our guide Jackie was great! We saw sea lions, garibaldi fish and since the conditions were good we did enter the caves. Great education information is given along the way and you do get a bit of a workout. Several restaurants are literally right on Avenida De La Playa so it really is the one stop for everything you need. Spend the rest of your day at the beach. Iā€™ve read some dissatisfied reviews but I attribute those to unfavorable natural conditions and not the staff. The only thing I wish I had were photos of the trip. I didnā€™t want to risk my phone but you could if you have a waterproof case and I would suggest a tether. In the end I still say Visit here if you want a La Jolla Sea Caves experience!
