I loved that it was a small group. Our guide was fun and they were helpful as your were going out through the waves. He took rests so you didn't get fatigued. Beautiful area.

Guide seamed not to cared about the group she was way ahead of us all the time . We had to always rushed to catch up, she never looked back to check on us . We did another tour like this one at Lake Tahoe and it was great , our guides were amazing ( we had 2 guides one in the front and another behind us ) I would recommend the 2 guides for tours like this one. Specifically because most of the people that book are not so experienced on kayak .Also when we checked in they didnā€™t see we paid for the profesional guide and once we were at the beach they wanted to send us alone wit no helmets,very inconvenient. At the end we were giving the proper equipment. But over all it was not great tour in my opinion.

Not what I hoped for. Our Tour guide was more interested in impressing the young ladies in our tour more than anything else. There are about 50+ other kayakers all going the same way, doing the same thing from various other companies offering a caves tour. As soon as we got to the caves the waves suddenly got too big? This was so confusing. others in groups immediately before us went in. I understand safety and all, but such a let down. And I guess we couldnā€™t wait for 5 min longer to let waves settle bc they are on a schedule. Got a few La Jolla stories when we stopped but nothing earth shattering. Maybe we just didnā€™t have the best guide. Be sure to use restroom beforehand as they donā€™t have bathrooms at the shop. Be prepared to walk from shop to ocean barefoot. Make sure you ask your guide to take a pic or two bc they said no cameras. We got no pics bc our guide didnā€™t even think to ask or offer - which is sad! Although we love being in the ocean and kayaking, Iā€™d save your money or do a private tour. Also did not like that teens had to be 16 to have a kayak of their own. Tandem is hard with a 14 yr old boy!
