38. La Jolla Kayak Tours
La Jolla kayak tours are one of the best guided water experiences in San Diego. When ocean conditions allow, guides take groups toward the sea caves and through the ecological reserve where sea lions and fish activity are common.
Even on days when cave entry is limited, the route still delivers strong coastal scenery and wildlife potential.
