He took us to the wildlife reserve and let us see birds, fish, crabs, with his binoculars. It was such a great experience. Will definitely be going to him again. Very affordable, and you can go out on your own if you want. Thank you so much for a great day Harry!

We booked the tour knowing it was a bit overcast, choppy and the caves were likely closed but boy were we in for a treat. Nick was out guide and sadly the other couple with us were not able to join but that meant we had a private tour! On our way out we were treated to. Few dolphins. When we got to the caves the waves were just calm enough for a quick in and out. Then on our way back green sea turtle popped his head out of the water and swam under our boat! It was pretty incredible! Nick was an awesome guide! Super knowledgeable and dropped facts throughout the journey. We took my 7,10 and 13 year old sons and they all loved it. Not a bad pivot!!

I thought we would be paddling thru multiple caves but that was not the case. Jade let us get out of our kayaks and swim, and I ended up capsizing our kayak when getting back in.

But we didn't capsize going in and out of the waves, which is the most common place to capsize!

The National City Aquatic Center is a hidden gem in this part of town! Often, people forget that…read moreNational City is also "waterfront"! The Port of San Diego has done a great job of making this area seem less "industrial" with not just cargo ship unloading, transport hubs, and shipyard maintenance but rather areas that families and the general public can come enjoy. In particular, this review is of the Multi-Purpose Room at the Aquatic Center. A lot of my guests were quite surprised and impressed with the building (built in 2018) and this facility as an event rental space. I even had a few inquiries asking how much I paid. FYI- it was only ~$300 for 6 hours + the price of a security guard. We held my twins' 1st birthday party here. The facility comes equipped with a half kitchen (no refrigeration or kitchen, just a sink), clean private bathroom/locker facilities, tables/chairs for ~80 guests (room can definitely fit a little more), floor to ceiling windows, a TV with Blue Ray Player and access to streaming (you provide the internet), access to Pepper Park, and ample parking. You can also pay extra for reserved parking, custodial maintenance, and more security if needed. Genevieve and Sheila with the Port Facilities reservations department were a pleasure to work with - they were responsive, answered my questions, and were patient with some of our requests. They also allow all vendors, provided they have proper insurance, and do not require usage of any sort of preferred list. My only gripe is that because there's no separate kitchen facility, you'll need to plan your catering in order to keep food stocked and warm/cold. There's a little outdoor space that looks like a fenced in yard-- they should consider turning that into a kitchenette. I'd pay extra to use that. One of the highlights is that there's a great view of the sunset over the coast that many of my guests got to enjoy toward the end of the party. A nice treat for a crisp fall evening! There's a marina, parks, a hotel, and restaurants in this general area west of the 5 freeway. Highly recommend considering this venue for any smaller events. You can always spill into Pepper Park if you need more space.

I also follow National City, and noticed they offered youth summer camps for rowing, kayaking, and SUP. Talking with Dave Frost, the contact for Community Rowing SD, National City is primed to start their own rowing club. He was excited to hear we found them and looks forward to growth in the coming years for the area. I have always wanted to try rowing out and am glad I did. Coach Aly was a blast to work with. She took me and a friend out on single sculls and followed us in a kayak, offering us encouragement and suggestions. She's an athlete through and through and was an easy conversationalist with and enthusiasm for all sports. I'm excited for what the aquatic center will offer in the coming years as the South Bay doesn't have much yet and would be an awesome place to get something running. Signing my niece and nephew up for rowing lessons and look forward to seeing them get a taste of the scene.

I signed up for 2 private lessons and had a great experience with their instructors, being very knowledgeable and patient with a newbie like me. At the end they certified me to take the Hobie out in Mission Bay under my supervision. I then signed up for their monthly membership when you can take a boat out (which you're instructor approved) daily, pending availability. This is the best deal ever! Besides the instructors, the staff and dockmaster are super friendly and helpful. Facilities are very nice with restrooms, showers, and lockers. Highly recommend for anyone interested to learn to sail and/or take one out for an afternoon.

Our boards didn't seem to be in the best shape, all 3 of them would frequently submerge in water. I've never experienced that with other SUP rentals. This is a wake zone so boats will constantly be coming to and fro on top of the tides (which are understandably uncontrollable) so it made for a challenging time. The individual who set us up was going to give our friend who hasn't paddleboarded before a very quick run down, but got distracted by other people inquiring so we were left a bit puzzled to take off by ourselves We also requested only one hour, but when pricing was requested, the two hour rate was requested. I took the individuals word so we went ahead and paid, but I realized after the fact that it was for 2 hours and so they said they couldn't refund us right there and then, but if we were to just take an hour we could reach back out, but it seemed a bit burdensome
