    Ninety minutes of kayaking along the La Jolla coastline, with all necessary gear provided for an independent exploration of marine life.

    The staff were incredibly supportive in assisting us with our boat and teaching us the basics of paddling. As we were inexperienced kayakers, the beach employees guided us through the waves and ensured we stayed upright. They also shared tips on spots to find more fish, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle.emilymE3779VP
