Nobody runs a canoe tour in La Jolla — the trip everyone means is a sea kayak paddle to the seven caves. Why the wrong word stuck.

Marisol AyalaLa Jolla Shores kayak guide and open-water swimmer — La Jolla, San Diego, California, United States

I run an independent guide to La Jolla sea cave kayaking — I compare the tours so you can book the right one at the right price.

What I do

I’ve guided sea-cave paddles out of La Jolla Shores since 2015 and swim the Cove year-round, which is how I know exactly how cold February water feels through a shorty wetsuit. I research the kayak tours available, read through traveller reviews, and write honest, practical guidance on which tour suits which traveller. I’m not a tour operator and I don’t sell tickets — when you’re ready to book, I send you to GetYourGuide, a licensed reseller, to complete your booking.

How I’m funded

I earn a small affiliate commission when you book through my links, at no extra cost to you. That’s what keeps this site free. It never changes which tours I recommend — see my affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
