La Jolla Sea Cave Kayak Tour

Gear up and take to the waters on a kayaking adventure off the coast of San Diego. A professional guide leads a tour to the Seven Sea Caves with the opportunity to see microhabitats of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve, abundant marine life, and sea lions on the nearby rocks. (Entry into Emerald Cave depends upon safety of the conditions.)

Head to the shop to meet your friendly guide, gather the necessary equipment, and get an informational overview in preparation for your excursion. Continue to the beach where the reefs have provided calmer waters to safely get on your kayak. Take notice of the breathtaking surroundings as you leave shore, keeping an eye out for sunbathing sea lions.

Make your way to the millions of years old sandstone cliffs to explore the exclusive sea caves, 6 of which are only accessible by kayak. Enter the fissures in the rocks that were once used to smuggle immigrants and contraband through. Peek over your kayak to discover the plentiful marine life in the ecological reserve, such as garibaldi fish, dolphins, and sea turtles.

Wrap up your tour as you soak up the sun and paddle your way back to shore.
