Kayaking in San Diego
Jen N.

We had a great experience from beginning to end. My son did a kayak and I chose the hydro bike. A few tips from the helpful staff and we were on the harbor. The views of San Diego plus the sea lion that popped up made the experience even better. Lower cost than other rental places, at least from what I found. The location is perfect for a leisurely circle of the harbor or to go out into the open water. We will definitely visit on our next trip to San Diego.

Amazing view of downtown San Diego on the hydro bike.

Perfect day to take my family out on the water for the first time! Reservations were open and easy to book online on a Saturday afternoon. My partner and I returned to this location and brought our family to try hydro biking as well. They used the single hydro bikes while my partner and I tried the tandem hydro bike together. Both are simple to learn and maneuver, with the help of the staff. Hydro biking, along with the other activities this location offers are all great opportunities to enjoy the San Diego sun. The staff are excellent and always helpful to beginners and returning visitors. All together we enjoyed a wonderful experience, once again, and would be happy to return this summer! ‍

My parents enjoy biking so I wanted to let them try hydro bikes! From my past experience, an hour is enough to enjoy it so we got 1 tandem hydro bike for $30 an hour and 2 single hydro bikes for $25 an hour (each). As of June 2021, they only had 1 tandem hydro bike and I don't know if they plan on getting more. We reserved for earliest possible time at 10 AM, as I was worried it may get more hot throughout the day. This was a good choice as the life jacket made it feel more hot than it actually was. We mainly stayed around the harbor, but you can venture out and see the downtown skyline. The water was pretty calm, and I'd feel safe paddle boarding here too. Hydro bikes are very stable, so no concerns about falling or getting wet. We did not see any seals like I've seen in Mission Bay, so if debating between where you'd like to look for rentals I'd say it depends if you'd rather see city views or look for seals! They have lockers available to rent for $2. Parking lot was free.

HYDROBIKE  with my FAMILY

The original plan is to Dine-in in this Plaza that we saw that has a few Restaurants while we were driving , but instead we end up getting in a HYDROBIKE first . This Hydrobike is cool 'coz theres no worries we will get wet by falling in the water coz its a Bike on the water . Perfect after Hydrobiking we were still dry and proceed to our dinner. We got 2 of the single Hydrobike and 1 tandem Hydrobike . They have a Life Vest that you can use ,i know theres no chance of falling but i still ensist for everyone to wear them just in case. But when we are in the water already Hydrobiking OMG its very Nice and Relaxing and very good exercise to the Leg , it just like Biking around your Neighborhood, but this one with a Scenery of water and San Diego areas . We will be back again , this Hydrobike is good for Family Water fun .

Wonderful staff. Loved that they were wearing masks and wouldn't allow anyone in who didn't have one. Very friendly group, patient and helpful. They wanted you to have a good time and made it really easy to do so. Just a nice business that I plan on going back to.

The two hydro bikes. They appear to be tandem in the photo, but they are two individual bikes. Highly recommend!

I have been to OEX twice in the last month. The first time we rented paddle boards, the second we rented the hydro bikes. The customer service is awesome, very helpful, very quick. They are abiding by all Covid-19 rules and it felt very safe. This was a wonderful way to spend time with a friend, remain physically distant, while enjoying the beautiful San Diego sights. I will definitely be back, and they truly have my highest recommendation! Also, if you are comfortable on a paddle board or kayak, but you have a friend/loved one who is not, the hydro bike is very stable and easy to ride.

Had a blast hydrobiking in the San Diego bay. The lady who helped us was really nice, we rented two hydrobikes (one single bike and one double bike) from 330-430 and she let us come back a little late without charging extra. It's a little hard at first to learn how to turn the bike, I found t that it was easier if you didn't turn the steering handles too far left or right and backing out actually helps if you need to turn. It seemed very stable, never felt like the bike was going to topple over and it was actually pretty easy to bike. Felt like we got a workout from it, but if wasn't as tiring as paddleboating/paddleboarding. There's a little cubby near the steering handles that you can store a little bag. And there's cup holders. Would definitely do it again.

We had so much fun kayaking and paddle boarding out on the water today :) I totally recommend Disco's! The guy working was very friendly and helpful. We will be back to try out a hydrobike!

Eric

We rented the Sup and Paddles from Eric. We got the best new equipment in a very low price! We also had some sup surfing lessons with Eric, he is such a nice and just the best professional instructor! We highly recommend Disco's Paddle Surf!!!!

Quick stop at Bali Hai for some bites! About 15 minute paddle from Disco's main dock
Patti B.

Definitely book with Eric + Disco's Paddle Surf! DSP is our go-to paddle excursion spot, last Saturday for a Bachelorette Kayake/Bike day to Bali Hai. We have the best experience EVER time. Eric is so helpful, the booking/waiver process are easy/digital, and you can't beat the central location. Highly recommend DPS!

We decided to come here last minute after having lunch at Jimmy's Tavern. The staff was extremely helpful and quickly got us set up. We did one hour for $30. It was 1:08pm when they got us set up and told us we didn't have to be back till 2:30-2:40pm, which was nice of them to do. We ended up coming back around 2:15 since our arms were tired and it was a bit breezy out there, which made paddling even harder. We had a great time kayaking and the views are so nice from this location. We were very pleased with the customer service here and also noticed they were being very clean about disinfecting and cleaning supplies after each (COVID), which I really liked. Overall this place is extremely professional & and I would highly recommend it. We'll definitely be coming here again.

Wonderful experience! The staff were attentive, friendly and approachable. Got our private SUP lessons from Eric and such experience was worth it! Such a personable experience. Going home with so much knowledge and new healthy hobby. We will be back soon!

I had a blast taking a kayak out! Neil was so helpful and kind and I am grateful for the experience overall. Thanks to your team! I will be back :)

Full disclosure: I know nothing about fishing, fishing supplies, or cost. However, with that being…read moresaid I do know when someone is trying to up-sale you, rip you off, and has poor customer service. Came in today after lunch to have my son's fishing spool replaced. Max was amazing! Friendly, professional, and had great customer service. Note: my son went there last week to have line put on his new reel. He could have tried to up sale me and try to get me to purchase other things but he didn't. He also remembered my son and had nice things to say. I asked him some questions and he seemed very knowledgeable. Fixed the line on my son's reel for free. The store is pretty small and full of supplies. Parking is very limited. As a customer I value service over anything. With max's service it felt like a local mom/ pop shop and I was a regular customer there. Thank you Max for your help. Service 5/5

Definitely, this place deserves NO STARS…read more 57+ years fishing and this place represents everything that is wrong with fishing everywhere lumped into one place. So let us get started. The replies are fake apologies, "I am sorry you feel that way," gaslighting, "You misunderstood," playing Doctor, "You are crazy," and blaming others; "Yelp" this and that. Wondering if those 5 Star Reviews are even real because the people leaving them have so few, if any other reviews. I can understand having a bad day, week, month, year, but this nonsense decades? For me, for anyone, to be wanting to be treated this incredibly badly, repeatedly is beyond me. For the high prices, shotty customer service, and recommendations always for the highest profit margin items, other places are far better.
