Laguna Beach Kayaking Tours

Ocean Kayak Eco Tour + Wildlife Viewing

laguna beach kayaking tour

Take a guided kayak tour along one of the most dramatic balboa rock-lined coastlines in the world. Located within the sacred Blue Belt Wildlife Sanctuary, full of hidden beaches, contoured cliffs, crystal clear ocean water. Most tours are lucky enough to see creatures like domestic sea lions, water birds, dolphins, exotic fish, whales, and more.

This activity is perfect for all ages and experience levels. Laguna Ethos pride ourselves in providing customer satisfaction and the most authentic Laguna Beach cultural experience.

We meet on a private seaside in north laguna, wherein your guide will provide a safety brief in accordance with the Water Safety Authority and paddle basics. Then we release into the calm, covered cove, in which we hug the dramatic shoreline and spot first rate coves and beachfront mansions. We’ll paddle though pacific kelp beds and learn about the precious ecology and wildlife, over hidden reefs, and see marine life such as garibaldi (our california country fish), harbor seals, pacific sea lions, bottlenose and common dolphins. And if we are actual lucky, we could see whales!!

Afterwards you will feel energized and ready for the rest of your sun drenched day in Laguna Beach, CA!
