Your experienced instructor and knowledgeable guide will teach the basics of paddling. You’ll find out how simple and fun kayaking on Catalina’s clear ocean waters can be.
What will we experience? Once on the water, your guide will point out interesting and historical Catalina Island landmarks, birds & plants and discuss the island’s ancient to modern history, geology and ecology as you glide over near-shore kelp forests above colorful fish.

- Suzanna H from Fontana, CA - TripAdvisor"We have participated in two previous kayaking tours in the San Diego area where the groups are large & there is pressure to keep up pace with the larger group. Our experience in Catalina was so much more relaxing because the group was small and we didn't feel pressure to stay in a group."
