Enjoy up-close views of the beautiful marine life, sea cliffs and seven caves of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve on a two-hour guided kayaking tour. No experience is necessary for this fun excursion, and life-jackets are provided. After a brief lesson, you'll paddle out with an experienced and friendly guide to marvel at Arch Cave, Sunny Jim's Cave and others, and maybe even steer through the amazing double-sided Clam Cave (ocean conditions permitting). You might even catch glimpses of sea lions, harmless leopard sharks, Garibaldi fish and dolphins before returning to shore.

Description

Please note: _ One ticket purchases one double kayak for two people. A party of two needs to purchase only one ticket!_

Explore the beautiful sea cliffs and caves while kayaking the La Jolla Ecological Reserve filled with marine life including sea lions, leopard sharks, Garibaldi, and even dolphin. Kayak tours do not require any previous experience.

The kayaking tour starts with a brief paddling instruction and kayak lesson with your certified kayak tour guides. Paddle through the surf to start this kayak adventure off, then paddle to the La Jolla sea caves including the Arch Cave, Sunny Jim’s Cave, the Clam’s Cave, and others.

 

Check out the California sea lions sleeping on the cliff or swimming around playfully in the water. The last and largest sea cave along the La Jolla seacliff is the Clam’s Cave, named after its unusual double-sided shape. A tour guide will likely take you through the Clam’s Cave, depending on water conditions. Kayak tour guides will dismount their kayaks to safely steer you through this amazing sea cave, if ocean conditions allow.

Kayak out past La Jolla Cove to the kelp beds to look for seals before paddling to the sandy flats to view the harmless leopard sharks from atop your kayak. Finish off this Kayak Tour of the 7 Caves & Ecological Reserve by surfing your kayak back to shore.

_Also note:

_You will get wet on your kayak adventure.  So, bathing suit attire is recommended.  You may leave a towel, dry change of clothes, and your personal belongings in coin-operated lockers; however, it’s recommended that you arrive with your bathing suit on, ready to go. Bare feet on the kayaks is fine, or wear sandals or watershoes. Baseball type hats and sunscreen are also encouraged for your kayak tour! Wetsuits are available for rent.

Kayakers of all shapes and sizes are welcomed, from beginners to advanced. As long as you can swim and are at least 6 years of age, you’re encouraged to come join the fun!  Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult in a double kayak.
