TOUR INFORMATION

Book a tour, and let one of our experienced guides take you from Coronado Tidelands Park  through San Diego Bay, which is considered to be one of the best natural harbors on the continent! After grabbing our gear, we'll paddle by the Coronado bridge while taking in the sites of the San Diego skyline and the Naval fleet. We'll explore the many parks and nature preserves located along the shoreline, and my even run into the vast array of wildlife that visits San Diego annually: including rays, leopard sharks, and even sea turtles or whales on rare occasion.

​

No matter if you're new to kayaking or experienced, this is sure to be an unforgettable adventure that you'll brag about to your friends for years to come!

Perfect if you like to paddle for yourself. Whether you're a novice or a pro, our single kayaks are wide and stable in the water, making it easy for you to enjoy. With two hour tours starting at just $40, our prices are the best around!

TANDEM KAYAK:

​

Going with a friend or child? Book a tandem kayak tour! Our 12 foot tandem kayaks have plenty of room for two people, and are 34 inches wide to provide stability while you paddle. When booking, you only need one reservation for both people, but please provide both names so our guides can prepare. Tandem kayak tours start at just $65!

​

We recommend that children under age 12 are paired with an adult.

SUNSET TOURS

Two Hour Tours: Starting at $40

SUNSET FROM THE WATER:

​

Nothing beats a sunset from the water!  These tours provide all of the same fun and adventure of a regular two-hour tour with the bonus of having a front row seat to a breathtaking sunset. Just like the timing of the sun, our start times for this tour vary based on time of year in order to ensure that you receive a full tour with a little something extra at the end. Don't worry though, we'll bring everyone into shore while there's still plenty of daylight.

How to Prepare for Your Tour

Location, Timing, Gear, Instructions

LOCATION: 

We're a mobile company, which allows us to save money on real estate and offer you lower prices. Because we're always on the move, our guides will meet up with you at whichever launch site you choose. Guides will be ready for you with all of the kayaking gear for your tour.

If you're driving, parking is available in the lot at Coronado Tidelands Park, but it gets crowded so make sure to leave yourself extra time to find a spot. If the lot is full, street parking is also allowed on the streets near the beach, but please pay attention to street signs so you don't get ticketed or towed. 

​

TIMING:

Please arrive 20 minutes before the listed start time of your tour to allow time to gather your gear, and sign the waiver.

​

We launch the kayaks into the water as close to the designated starting times as possible. If you are late, we may start the tour without you.

​

GEAR:

Your guide will provide you with a kayak, paddle, and life jacket. We recommend that you bring water and sunscreen, and wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet.

​

Our guides also bring waterproof stuff sacks on their kayaks in case you have electronics or valuables that you don't want to leave on the beach.

​

INSTRUCTIONS:

If you're new to kayaking or need any instruction, our guides will be happy to help you. Ask them about any concerns that you may have related to the tour.

​

​

DISCLAIMERS:

​

While we typically enjoy beautiful and predictable weather, occasional unfavorable weather or water conditions may cause our guides to modify tours while keeping in mind that safety is our top priority. 

​

In the event that weather conditions cause us to cancel your scheduled tour, we will notify you as early as possible by email. In these cases, customers are entitled to choose to reschedule their tour or receive a full refund.

​

We do not provide refunds for missed tours or cancellations within 48 hours of your reserved tour.
