About Everyday California
Everyday California in La Jolla offers surf lessons and guided kayak and snorkel tours exploring local sea caves and marine life. Customers consistently praise the phenomenal, knowledgeable, and kind guides who prioritize safety while delivering engaging, fun experiences. This shop is ideal for everyone from nervous beginners needing patient instruction to families and visitors seeking expertly guided ocean adventures.
The Good
Customers overwhelmingly praised the tour guides across all activities (kayaking, surfing, snorkeling), frequently naming specific individuals (e.g., Chris, Cat, Lydia, Jake, Sophia, Colby) for being extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, fun, and excellent at ensuring safety, even for beginners or nervous participants. The kayak cave tours were a major highlight, noted for spectacular views, wildlife sightings (sea lions, leopard sharks, dolphins, turtles), and interesting historical/ecological information provided by guides. The overall shop staff and retail team were described as friendly, helpful, and offering high-quality merchandise with great prices. Many reviewers stated the experience exceeded expectations and they plan to return or recommend it highly.
Things to Consider
The primary constructive criticism related to the physical nature of the activities: kayaking requires significant paddling effort, leading to exhaustion, and ocean entry/exit means getting wet up to the waist, with a risk of flipping near the shore. One reviewer noted that the cave visit time is very limited due to waiting and the presence of other tour companies. Another mentioned that lockers were available but wished they had known beforehand (costing $12). One review noted that only one cave was visited, contrary to what might be implied by promotional videos.
