We did the 2 person kayak and originally booked through TripAdvisor but next time, we'll book directly through them after realizing they're a local company. It was around $100 for our 2 person kayak which seemed reasonable for a quick day date. Make sure you're 30 minutes before your booking time so you can check in and get supplies for your activity. For kayaking, it was a 90 min event and it's helpful to wear a swimsuit since you'll get wet and have a chance to swim. They took us through parts by the coast and we got to see lots of different fish and sea lions. Tip; make sure to bring water proof, floating bag for your phone since lockers can be $6 and I wish we would have brought our GoPro for the underwater views. The tour guides Thomas and Spencer were knowledgeable and helpful. We had a few guys who were in our tour that kept going overboard and the guides were patient with them even as the guys got a little annoying with their kayak intentionally tipping a few times. Overall, I'm really glad we went and will be back for other activities with friends and family.

Once we were out on the water though, the waves are smaller but I did feel a bit sea sick when we got to the gather point and weren't kayaking. The sun took its time coming out, but the weather was still beautiful and made for a nice morning paddle. Our guide, Dylan, was super knowledgeable about the area and shared interesting facts along the way. We even got to paddle into a cave, which was really cool, and saw plenty of wildlife--sea lions lounging on the rocks, pelicans flying by, and garibaldis swimming around. Heads up--kayaks do tip! Ours flipped just as we came back to shore, so I'd recommend bringing a change of clothes and some towels. They have lockers for rent if you don't want to leave things in your car. Overall, really fun experience and I'd definitely come back for another tour

Awesome service and forever grateful to Nicolas - you saved our 1 year anniversary! Amazing service - quick clear instructions, very considerate, warned us about any possible problems explained how to row in the kayak as it was our first time and we had a tandem kayak. After he explained us how to put it in the water and not to roll over, we went and did it first try - no problems. We locked the wheels to the wooden fence so that nobody steels them (they are used to transport the kayak easier so that you don't have to carry it in your hands). We saw the sunset and peaked in the cave which was very exciting. Don't go inside the caves if you are renting on your own as the tides can be very unpredictable and you can roll over or hit the rocks - this is also illegal and only allowed during guided tours. Value point is amazing too. For a tandem it's 35$ (39.22$ with tax) and solo is 30$. All the guided tours were 80$+ and I don't really see the point them if you can go with these guys for only 35$. We did a full one hour but I am not sure how long you can usually go we came pretty late before the closing time. If you want to get the guided tours during the winter times the last ones usually depart at 2:30 so make sure you make it in time!

Davin, the general manager, was truly next-level amazing. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help us plan and perfectly time the proposal. He was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. You could tell he actually cared about the moment, not just the rental. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. At the check-in booth, Wyatt gave us the warmest welcome and made us feel like we were the top priority, even though he was juggling at least five other parties in line trying to rent for the day. He was genuinely stoked for us to be there, which instantly set the tone for an amazing experience. When we got to the dock, Davin was exactly how he was over the phone, and gave us clear, easy-to-understand instructions, he checked in to make sure we were comfortable, and made the entire experience completely stress-free from start to finish. Davin and Wyatt are the definition of 100/10 customer service- professional, kind, and an absolute rockstars. We live in San Diego and will absolutely be going out with SD Adventures again. Highly, highly recommend

Due to my poor planning, we were on our way to the bay to visit a local competitor's business, when I realized that I needed a reservation. Cue my panic and frantic internet searches, I gave SUP California a call at 3:30pm on a Tuesday in the middle of July (peak season) and they were able to get us two SUP boards. I made payment over the phone and within 15 minutes of the call, they met us exactly where Google maps tells us to be. We signed some liability waivers on their phone and were on our way! They provided us with life jackets, but we had our own for the dog (not sure if they carry dog jackets, so please talk to them before assuming). Overall, it was a great experience, they gave us pointers on where to take off from, areas to explore, and landmarks to look for on our way back. We called them when we were done and within 10 minutes, they were back and collected the items. I had a wonderful time and will gladly recommend them!
