My partner and I were booked for the 8/23 tour. The morning of the tour we both received texts…read morefrom someone named "Rudolph" saying that the tour was canceled due to "unexpected truck issues". I asked when the next available date was to reschedule. Rudolph responded that he would look at the calendar "and hidden dates" and would get back to me as soon as possible. I did not hear from him by the next day so I texted again. No response. I waited another five days and texted again, no response. I called the number for the company today and got a voice mail "that we are probably out on the river". I have not received a refund. These are not reliable people to do business with.

They also have a key to the bathroom, which is around the corner. Even though we were 20 minutes early, they let us get on the water bike after a quick instruction. Riding on the water bikes was really fun! We rode around the bay and the water was choppy sometimes but as you get inside the bay, the water is calmer. A trick is that if you feel the water is too choppy, start paddling - the water will calm down with the pedaling. There are several boats around which provided live music for us. The bike has two cup holders and a front container to put your phones and small stuff in. We had a great time. They share a parking lot with nearby restaurants which offer 3 hours of free parking. That is a huge plus for something near the beach! We will be back next time to try a glow ride.

We booked a weekend morning tour, and it ended up being one of the most unexpectedly fun things I've done in the city. I was a little nervous at first since I'm not super experienced with kayaking, but the guides were patient and gave clear instructions before we got on the water. Once we started, it felt calm and surprisingly peaceful. We even spotted birds and fish along the way, which I definitely didn't expect in Los Angeles. The whole experience felt safe, well-organized, and relaxed. It's such a cool way to see a different side of the city. I'd absolutely do it again.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the guides at Jetski2Catalina. From the moment we…read morestarted, they were incredibly positive, supportive, and attentive. I felt completely safe and genuinely taken care of under their watch the entire time. They handled a large group with ease, and remained attentive to everyone's safety. When there were a few more rambunctious personalities in the group, they handled those situations effortlessly while still keeping the experience fun for everyone. I was continually impressed by how aware they were of everything happening around us. What really pulled at my heartstrings was what happened toward the end of our trip. During the last 45 minutes or so, the guides received word about a pod of bottlenose dolphins, and they went out of their way to make sure we got to see them. When we did...I cried. It was absolutely majestic and one of those moments I'll never forget. I'm sure these guides have seen thousands of dolphins. It's probably something they encounter regularly as part of their job, but what struck me most was how genuinely excited they were for US to see them. They could have easily treated it like, "Yep, there's another pod of dolphins," and moved on. Instead, they were just as enthusiastic about us experiencing it as we were. That really stayed with me. It showed me that they don't just do this job, they care about the experience they're giving people. They haven't become so accustomed to these incredible things that they've lost the excitement of sharing them with someone experiencing them for the first time. I appreciated that more than I can put into words. One more thing I really want to say... I did this entire excursion by myself. I have plenty of friends, but for one reason or another, nobody was able to join me. Some were nervous, some had previous injuries, and some just couldn't make it work. I almost let that stop me. I'm SO glad I didn't. If you're waiting for someone else to be available, waiting for a friend to feel brave enough, or waiting for the "right" person to go with you, just go. You could be missing out on something absolutely incredible while waiting for someone else's schedule, comfort level, or circumstances to line up with yours. I went alone and never once felt alone. The guides made me feel safe, supported, and included from beginning to end. The Catalina experience itself was incredible, but the guides are what made it unforgettable. And seeing those dolphins while watching the guides get excited for us to experience it...that's a memory I'll carry with me for a very long time. 10/10 experience. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Awesome Kayak Tour!…read more After reading the many positive reviews on Google and Yelp! we chose Laguna Ethos. Justin was waiting for us with all of his gear in tow. He clearing explained what we would be doing and gave us a safety chat. Any questions we would ask, he answered them with great thought. We were so amazed at how beautiful this location is. We would call it one of the best sights in the world. Justin gave us exceptional information on the history of Laguna Beach and of the sea creatures we could see and not see. For those of you that are not sure about your physical stamina, it was not physically demanding and pretty smooth paddling there and back. You are not rushed and can take your time. The staff can assist you if you need any help. We are recommending Laguna Ethos to all of our friends and family. You will have and amazing time!

Ethos actually focused on the basics then got me on waves and helped me feel confident and comfortable within minutes of the lesson starting. I am already planning on coming back with my friend in a few weeks, then bringing my children for a lesson this summer.
