Original La Jolla Sea Cave Kayak Tour for Two

Overview

The Original Sea Cave Kayak Tour (90 Minutes in Length) offers unforgettable guided tours through the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. Each tour is lead by experienced guide(s) who ensure participants safely navigate through the unique ecological habitats while seeing different types of marine life.

This highly-protected and unique area boasts one of the highest concentrations of sea-life in the West Coast. Guests commonly encounter seals, sea lions, and a multitude of birds and fish, and lucky guests might even see dolphins or whales!

Towards the southern end of the Ecological Reserve, La Jolla's Seven Sea Caves patiently await, allowing participants to witness their beauty. Weather permitting, participants can kayak through the large sea cave that goes from the ocean into the Emerald Cove.
Entry into the Emerald Cave depends on the safety, and is not guaranteed. Participants must be five years or older to participate in the tour.

We did the 90 minute tour with our two daughters, age 6 and 10. It was the highlight of our California vacation, the thing both kids talked about the most when they came home. Our guides Cody and Gabbie were both fantastic -- energetic, attentive, interesting, funny, all the while focused on everyone's safety. Everyday California felt like a well-run, very professional business, with every detail thought through. The water was in the 50s on the day we were there, and we were really glad that Everyday California recommended and rented wetsuits -- we could see that some of the competitor companies that use the same beach were taking out groups where none/few of the participants had wetsuits. We were also glad we chose a company that did NOT promise to take their tour into the caves, as it looked really unsafe when we paddled by -- we were glad to trust the guides' advice on that (even though in advance we'd been hoping it would work out to go in). We only have two minor tweaks we would recommend to Everyday California: (1) A little foot-washing station behind the store would be fantastic. Everyone returns with sandy feet, but we didn't feel the need for a full shower. (2) It would be great if the folks who get customers suited up with life jackets and helmets would also remind folks to consider sunblock on their feet/ankles and the backs of their hands, especially if they're from colder climates and haven't been in the sun much in recent months. Several members of our family ended up with sunburns on hands and feet -- we'd put sunblock on our faces but didn't think about how kayaking position would leave those parts very exposed. A big gallon jug of cheap sunblock for customers to use would be icing on the cake! But overall, our experience was wonderful, just right for families with elementary-aged kids.

We were really excited to check out this tour on our first visit to La Jolla, having done other sea kayaking tours in the past (on the east coast). My husband and I were both pretty disappointed. First - the staff. We were told on the phone prior to our visit that there was plenty of parking on side streets. Ha! Not so much. Took forever to find parking but we still managed to find something (about a half mile or more away) and get to the shop with plenty of time (25 min), or so we thought. Once inside, we had to wait for the customer in front of us, then we paid for a locker and wetsuits and then were told "Hurry up! We need to get going!" Not exactly how you want to start out a tour, but ok. I didn't feel like their attitudes improved much for the remainder of the tour. Second - the tour itself. "Tour" is being generous. You basically row straight out to the caves. Listen to the guide talk for a bit. Then (if weather permits) they take you into the cave, 2 kayaks at a time. I did not realize that we only got about 30-45 seconds in the cave before they took us back out. I thought we would all be going in together and rowing around but apparently thats not allowed. So, 2 kayaks at a time, and the rest of the time you're just sitting there waiting for everyone else to take their turn. At this point I realized that we'd already spent a good chunk of our tour time, and wondered if this was all there was to it. Yep. That's it. Then you row back to shore. The stories were interesting I guess, but even on a first visit to La Jolla, it wasn't anything we hadn't already heard or read somewhere else. We were pretty disappointed and felt that our time and money would have been better spent elsewhere. Since it is advertised as "exploring the sea caves" we really expected more. If you want to kayak, I would recommend renting a kayak and going out on your own (although I don't think you can go to the cave area without a guide). Oh! Also, there was a kid on our tour who asked several questions of the guide (as kids will do) and the guide became visibly annoyed. Seriously could use some better staff at this place.
