My family of 5 (with two teens and an 8 year old) had a fabulous kayak adventure on the sea! Well organized, easy to find, fabulous guides! Unfortunately the fog was thick we and couldn’t see the beautiful shoreline— Maybe next time we will do an afternoon trip so the fog will have rolled off. Definitely recommend!!!!

This tour is called the Laguna Beach Kayak Tour with "Sea Lion Viewing". There were no sea lions. In fact, the tour guides didn't seem to think that was part of the tour. If you are looking for marine life, take another tour. Also, for $85, it would have been nice to at least get a bottle of water.
