Once we're all together we typically head north along the coast passing beautiful hidden coves for a quick visit to Seal Rock at the north end of Laguna Beach.

La Vida Laguna is a great, very well organized company. Personalized customer service is their priority and it shows! Kayak tour was fun and relaxing.

This was an amazing tour. We saw a pod of dolphins feeding with sea lions. The kayaking was easy and relaxing. The guides are knowledgable, professional, and prepared. We really loved it and will go back. I highly recommend it!

Charles was our guide and he was delightful. Full of stories and information about the area. It was just me (72 ) and my 13 year old grandson...so he had one paddler charging ahead and one dawdling behind. Charles was sure circle around keeping near both of us keeping us safe and informed. What a wonderful way to spend a morning!

My sister in law was visiting from NJ. We had a perfect day of clear skies and water. She has a fear of sharks and felt safe and relaxed in the hands of our knowledgeable guide.

I had some out of town friends visiting. So I decided to book this tour. Perfect tour. We kayaked from Heisler Park to Emerald Bay and back. We got out to snorkel and saw baby leopard sharks at SmithCliffs cove. Incredible day. The staff were amazing. They even took great photos and sent them to us at the end. Will definitely rebook when friends are back in town.
