5.00Scott and David were great guides for our fun kayak tour. They made sure we knew the proper way to kayak and that we were safe throughout the tour. They shared interesting information and took pictures to share with us. Great communication as well. Definitely recommend.

5.00We booked the kayak tour last minute and we are so thankful that we did. Justin our guide was awesome and very professional. He told us some great info of the local area and took us to see leopard sharks and other marine animals that where the highlight of our day. Plenty of laughs along the way too, if you’re coming to Laguna beach I highly recommend Laguna ethos for your tour. If we ever come back to California this will definitely be on the list of things to do again.

5.00Kudos to the team at Laguna Ethos for giving us a memorable and exciting experience kayaking in beautiful Laguna Beach! We started out at Fishermen's Cove, a calm area that was ideal for the launch, then kayaked over to Emerald Bay, giving us ample opportunity to practice our paddling skills. There, we saw many species of birds and fish, including a glimpse of a baby shark spotted by one member of our group. Highly recommend this highly skilled and knowledgeable team. At the end, they even provided several pictures of our group, further memorializing our day. Well done, Laguna Ethos and Tripadvisor!

5.00A wonderful experience with friendly, trained guides. I highly recommend! The entry and exit into the ocean was very easy (typically the hardest part of the trip). Great for all levels.
Fun and relaxing
