What a fantastic outing! Highly recommend the Paddleboard Tour. Doug was a great guide, and made sure everyone felt confident and relaxed. We learned some cool stuff and even our teenager admitted he had fun. The logistics were easy, and I'm so glad we tried the SUP experience! Good stuff.

We needed someone to help us get going with SUP in the open sea and Jason was the perfect instructor, he told us all the important tips was there to guide us but he also gave us a lot of space to just experience and enjoy being out there, unhurried and just the right voice of reason you need when you have had a long hiatus in your ocean adventures, thank you so much 🙏🏽😊

Spencer was a great guide, and was very knowledgeable! We even got to see a sea lion pop his head out of the water which was a highlight! Really great way to start the day!!

It was an amazing experience. Huge shout out to Jake for helping us feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip. He’d told us about the history of the fisherman’s cove and about marine life there. It was a wholesome trip!

My husband and I absolutely loved our paddleboarding session today. Our instructors were so kind and helpful (as we were both beginners and rubbish!). They were well informed on the history of Laguna Beach and were pointing out interesting spots as well as local wildlife. This was a highlight of our trip, thank you so much!

Just got back from our SUP lesson with Doug, Chief Adventure Officer La Vida Laguna. Well, I’ve officially lived a happy life. Shootout to Doug for creating ideal conditions and arranging for a pod of dolphins to come along with us.

We had a great tour, the weather wasn’t great but that’s not their fault! Other than that we had a good workout and we saw dolphins

Ali was the most incredible paddle board instructor today! His knowledge of the area, fun conversation and excellent tuition was stellar. We were so spoilt by the whale, dolphins and sealion. Made my trip to Laguna extra special and memories I will treasure forever (and actually will because Ali captured an incredible moment on camera with me RIGHT by a sealion!) WOW! I will definitely be back.

This was our first time ever being on a paddleboard. We always wanted to try and booked this tour. Jack was our guide and he was awesome! He gave us a lesson before take off and guided us through everything. He was very patient with our many attempts to stand up. We ultimately ended up paddling sitting down but we still loved being out in the water. Jack pointed out wildlife and local landmarks to us. He also took pictures for us with his phone. This lesson was our favorite part of the whole trip!
