Thursdays

Thursday evenings from May 1st through October 31st, we host a social kayak tour at Aqua Adventures Kayak Center on Mission Bay. No experience necessary!  This is a great way to try kayaking for the first time, or to get out on the water on a regular basis and meet other kayakers. Attending a few of these tours will help prepare you for longer kayak trips. These paddles are FREE if you provide your own kayak and gear, or just $15 for kayak rental.  This is a "show & go" event - reservations are not accepted.

From May 1st through October 31st.

Wednesdays

For the early bird kayakers out there, we host social exercise paddles at Aqua Adventures Kayak Center on Mission Bay. This is a great way to get out kayaking on a regular basis, get a great workout before work, and meet other paddlers. The bay is beautiful and so very peaceful at this hour! These paddles are FREE if you provide your own kayak and gear, or just $15 for kayak rental.

We'll take you on a kayak tour of Mission Bay under the stars, and then...BOOM, BANG, BOOM...the SeaWorld fireworks display starts. Our front row seats are an exciting place to be! After the show, as we paddle leisurely back to the docks, we may get to see some California sea lions, shore birds, and the bioluminesence--an underwater fireworks show courtesy of Mother Nature.

This is a great tour for the whole family and no experience is necessary. Whether you have never kayaked before or are a seasoned pro, this tour is for you.

Enjoy the sparkling magic of Mission Bay by kayak under a full moon! This 2.5 hour tour is a great introduction to kayaking as well as a scenic tour of one of San Diego's most beautiful playgrounds! Highlights of Mission Bay include California sea lion sightings, numerous bird species, white sandy beaches, and a view of Sea World that few people get to see! Your knowledgeable guides will share the facinating natural and human history of the area. No experience is necessary to join us and you'll receive basic kayaking instruction before launching. Most of our guests choose to use sit-inside kayaks which are faster, and keep you warmer and dryer than the sit-on-tops our competitors use.  You don't need any special skills - your guides will show you what you need to know! Tandem kayaks are available for those unsure of their stamina. (But you have to supply your own kayaking partner!)

A two hour guided tour of one of San Diego's most beautiful playgrounds and a great introduction to kayaking! Mission Bay has a fascinating natural and human history and offers many interesting sights including sea lions, numerous bird species, Sea World, picturesque beaches, and beautiful yachts.  If you don't see a tour on our calendar that matches your schedule, go "self-guided"! Our professional staff will show you everything you need to know to explore Mission bay on your own!  Check out our "rentals" page for more information!

We'll enjoy a special treat and paddle to select restaurants on either San Diego Bay or Mission Bay. A fun night out with a twist! Bring a flashlight--and an appetite.  Some previous kayaking experience is required for this tour.  Get a group of 6 people together and we'll schedule your own private tour!

Join us for an adventure into the mystic waters of South San Diego Bay. We will search for many resident and migratory birds that make this a winter home. There's also the chance to view sea turtles and learn from your guide how they arrived here in San Diego.

Just south into Mexico sit the Coronado Islands. Rugged, pristine and strangely beautiful, these islands offer a rare opportunity to kayak in a wildlife setting that is normally only found in exotic, far away places.

This new tour in the Aqua Adventures catalog celebrates the convergence of man and nature.

Really go someplace in your sea kayak! Paddle along San Diego's beautiful coast, from Mission Bay to San Diego Bay.

Every day is different on the open ocean: tides, swell, and weather vary hourly, wildlife encounters are always an exciting possibility - never knowing exactly what will happen is part of the adventure! The "Coastal" paddles are 9-14 mile excursions and require some previous experience: a Kayaking Basics lesson and a few Thursday Evening or Wednesday Morning paddles, for example. We have tandem kayaks available for those unsure of their stamina, but you'll have to supply your kayaking partner! These paddles are great preparation for longer kayak trips like our Black Canyon Hot Springs trip or Todos Santos Islands expedition. Come see San Diego from a new perspective!

Our most popular local tour! This is a 1.5 hour guided tour of world famous La Jolla sea caves. Highlights include dramatic scenery, frolicking in gentle ocean surf, and abundant wildlife including sea lions, dolphins, and gentle leopard sharks! Hundreds of people have gotten hooked on kayaking with this tour! This tour is operated by our sister company, "La Jolla Sea Cave Kayaks" but offers the same great quality and customer service as Aqua Adventures. La Jolla kayak rentals and tours are on sit-on-top kayaks.

We can customize any kayaking tour or trip to fit the special needs and schedule of your group of 8 to 60!

We have helped create special family reunions, school spring break or graduation trips, and corporate "reward" trips for groups of up to 60!

Aqua Adventures is the foremost recreational and adventure kayaking outfitter in Southern California. Our knowledgable tour leaders and personable staff will work closely with you to plan the exact trip you desire.

Call or e-mail with your ideas, itinerary, or questions. We're happy to help you get you and your group out on the water.

Each January and February we offer guided whale watching excursions by kayak. We only need to paddle a mile or two offshore to find ourselves in the path of migrating gray whales! An unbeatable combination of spectacular scenery and wildlife!
