The waves were big, making it a little dicey getting through the surf during takeoff. And we got flipped into the cold water when returning to shore at the end. But all part of the adventure! Both tour guides were great, our second time doing this excursion, it is definitely a good time. Only recommendation would be them providing mandatory wet suits (free-of-charge) in the winter time for safety reasons.

We had a great time tandem kayaking in La Jolla Ecological Reserve. The guides were very informative and humorous. Disclaimer, you will end up soaked. šŸ˜‚ The waves were a little crazy yesterday, but the guides helped us get in safely. This does take some strength to paddle, and coordination if you are going tandem.

Mya & Brody were so great. Both were super friendly, fun and full of experience/knowledge. We will be back with friends. Thanks again for the awesome adventure.
