Awesome day, awesome guide - What a great kayak trip! Our guide Walker was awesome - very knowledgeable about the sport, the area and the sea lions. He was patient with everyone who was a beginner and made the trip enjoyable and relaxed. This was well worth the money and I would highly recommend.

Unmissable! - Walker was a fantastic guide, really helpful and friendly. We had a leisurely ride through the Marina, feeling very safe and managed to get up close and personal with the very cute sea lions! It was a great experience and I’d highly recommend it!

Meh - At the end of the day, I wouldn’t do this trip again. My daughter was glad we saw sea lions, but we paddled medium/hard the whole time trying to keep up with our guide. And we’re sporty people with lots of SUP experience already. Our guide was too far away from our group to talk to us about anything. We took an all day bus tour of LA the next day and it was fantastic. I usually love every TripAdvisor tour I take, so this was a let down.

Not a great experience - Had a last minute emergency arise, and no credit for future tour would be granted by viator. Basically threw away $138
