Fantastic experience! - I highly recommend this experience! I went with my partner and I on the 9AM tour and had a great time, despite never having been on a kayak before. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go into the caves due to the strong waves, but that was for our safety and I am glad they are diligent when it comes to those things since the ocean does not play around. Our tour guide, Carly (Carlee?), was super kind and knowledgable and did a fantastic job of explaining the ecological significance of La Jolla. She was also very kind despite me getting a bit seasick due to the strong waves. Overall, a 10/10 experience!

Ike was our kayaking guide. He shared lots of historical experiences, adding more meaning to a perfect day on the ocean. - Staff is very friendly and accommodating. I'm definitely coming back to do the same tour. Only drawback: very difficult to find street parking.
