From Eve

Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring La Jolla Kayak.

The best time to spot leopard sharks is from May to October in the shallow waters of La Jolla Shores.
Wear comfortable kayak gear like a t-shirt, shorts, or a bathing suit, as you will likely get wet.
Check the weather conditions before your tour, as sea cave entry depends on ocean conditions.
Book your tour in advance, especially during peak season, to ensure availability.
