Scott and David were... - Scott 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.

Last minute booking turned great experience - We 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.

Kudos! - Kudos 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!

10/10 Trip! - A 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 on the open seas - My friend and I had a fantastic kayak tour with Jay! He was very knowledgeable about Laguna and its history. We felt completely safe as he guided us through the water and even gave us some great photos and videos.

Amazing, amazing open ocean kayak tour - Wow! This open ocean kayak tour did not disappoint! We saw rare jellyfish, dolphins, and sea lions. We got to sit (well, float) and watch for a while as the sea lions hoisted themselves up onto Seal Rock. Justin was knowledgeable, so skilled, and amazingly friendly. I'd never kayaked before, but he ably talked me through every step. Highly recommend Laguna Ethos tours!
