Paddle Laguna Beach’s open ocean with a local guide, scenic coastal views, and the chance to spot sea lions on this 90-minute tour.

About this tour

Paddle into the open ocean and take in the scenic coastline on a Laguna Beach kayaking tour, with the chance to spot sea lions along the way. An experienced local guide leads the outing and provides kayaks, paddles, water, and life vests, so you can focus on the water and the views.

The 90-minute tour meets at a secluded cove next to 631 Cliff Drive. Look for the white truck with blue kayaks, and arrive 30 minutes early during summer months to allow time for parking. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness; the tour is not recommended for people with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Infants must sit on an adult’s lap, and specialized infant seats are available.

Book ahead, as tours often fill up, and discover the coast from the water on a Laguna Beach kayaking tour.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 204 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Laguna Beach
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.5. Top 5% in Laguna Beach means it ranks in the top 5% of tours in Laguna Beach by this score.
