We booked a tandem kayak to have some adventure during our honeymoon and our tour guide Cambria was above and beyond with her instructions and commentary along the way, we were afraid of doing open ocean kayak at first because we only did kayak at small rivers before, but we lost quickly our fears thanks to her experience and the fun you have while kayaking, we had the chance to do the cave, but didn’t take it because of the waves it was likely for our kayaks to tip over, so we decided to continue our tour directly to see the sea lions instead. All in all I would recommend 100% – via

I went paragliding with Brandon, who was very professional. We landed smoothly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only issue was that they were supposed to take 7 pictures, but they only took 3. Since I had traveled from another state, I missed the chance to have more memories captured. Another disappointment was that I couldn’t download the 3 pictures, and it took me 2 days of follow-up. An employee told me I had to come in person to pick them up or they could mail them to me. She didn’t assist me in getting them via email, but the manager was understanding and sent them to me. – via

This is definitely the best quality place to go cave kayaking with! Jack and Cyril were great guides and worked hard to make sure everyone got to see the leopard sharks, seals, and other wildlife in the water! You can tell they love their jobs and their jokes will have you chuckling the entire time!
The company is super convenient, right by the beach, and they have everything there ready for you, with a free locker to store your stuff and everything! Even a bathroom and rooms to change if needed. Definitely recommend!! – via

Had a great time with SCK! Even before we arrived, staff was responsive to emails and really helpful. We booked a tour for mid-Feb and although the waves were too big to go in the caves, our guide Sydney took us close enough to peek inside. She was knowledgeable and funny and we saw some wildlife! Lockers are free which is really nice (they give you a ziptie to secure and they’re located in the shop where staff is so we weren’t concerned at all). Overall we had a great time and would recommend! – via

We had such a great trip with Claire and Cambria on our kayak tour. These guides were informative and made the trip interesting and fun. The group size is small, and it makes it easier to stay close and listen to all the interesting facts they had to share. I highly recommend this tour. – via

A good experience overall. We were on the water for a good 90 minutes and got to see a ton of wildlife. Based on the name of all the outfitters in the area, I did expect the caves to be a larger part of the experience. But you only get to visit one cave. The rest of the coast line you paddle by and observe. Still a great time, but not as cave focused as I hoped it would be. – via

Very professional & organized group. Guide gave us the option of going into a cave (big swells that day) & was sure to give us instruction on how to exit. All the staff were friendly, cheerful & helpful. Highly recommended! – via

Great staff and tour! I definitely recommend La Jolla Sea Cave Kayaks for who is looking for organization and professionalism. Cambria was such a nice kayak guide and knew a lot about the region (from wild life to geological info). Thank you! – via

We had a great time with Cyril as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. We appreciated his thorough knowledge of the animals, landscape, and ecosystem. Although the king tide did not allow us to enter the caves, we got close to them, which was more than any of the other companies were doing. Not only was our guide great, but all of the employees of SCK, both on the beach and in the shop, were so welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend doing a tour with them! – via

I went out to the caves in a folding kayak that I usually put float bags into, but lately got too lazy to do it. I did not bother to even take a bailing device since the swell report was 1-2 foot. But for whatever reason conditions were slightly rougher than anticipated and I got caught by a rebound reflected swell/current off the cliff inside one of the smaller caves north of the main cave. In trying to protect the bow from hitting rock I didn’t brace on the other side and capsized for the first time in years. Of course since I had no skirt, floats or bulkheads, the boat flooded quickly and to the point that no deep water technique could drain it, while also being too heavy to swim-tow to the nearest beach which is hundreds of yards away.

I was getting to the point of leaving the kayak and swimming to the nearest climbable rocks, but luckily one of the kayak tour guides spotted me and came to help. First he towed me away from the caves and, after quickly realizing there was no way to drain the hull, offered to tow me to the rocks. He then helped me get this unbelievable heavy boat up into the incredibly slippery rocks (the incoming swell was still too rough to allow draining it halfway up the outcropping), and then even offered to help me launch it back in after the hull emptied, and after he went back to check on his patrons. Luckily I was able to time my launch and using a half-scramble self-rescue I re-entered without added incident and without disturbing the tour group’s session further.

This tour guide whose name now escapes me was a total professional. Calm, deliberate problem-solving, physically and mentally capable and confidence-inspiring, I would venture to say anyone on a tour could not ask for a safer and friendlier guide than this. – via
