Honeymoon · CANOES & KAYAKS
The 9 best kayak trips a couple can book, with what each costs for two, how long it runs and how private it really is. Number one is top for a reason, so start there.
Paddle a tandem kayak from La Jolla Shores toward the sea caves and Ecological Reserve with guides such as Alex, Ike, Taya, and Cassidy. Expect basic instruction, rocky coast views, sea lions, birds, possible dolphins and leopard sharks, plus a surf ride back to shore.
“Alex, dan, and dan were great, very witty presentations, local vibes. It was fun. Definitely would recommend to do”
Paddle a two-person kayak through La Jolla Ecological Reserve for 90 minutes with an Everyday California guide. Expect sea caves, sea lions, birds, fish, and possible leopard sharks. Guides such as Sawyer, Lydia, and Hannah are praised for clear instruction and local insight, but cave access depends on ocean conditions.
“Hannah and Lydia were the best guides! Skillfully navigated all of us in the group to the caves and along the way shared little nuggets of information about the area and the ecological reserve and fun facts! We saw leopard sharks and sea lions and they made sure our cave experience was top notch. Highly recommend this tour and these expert guides!”
Take a 90-minute self-guided kayak rental around La Jolla Ecological Reserve. Check in 30 minutes early at 2261 Avenida De La Playa, collect your kayak, paddle, and life vest at the beach, and watch for seals, sea lions, dolphins, birds, fish, and seasonal whales.
“This was our first time kayaking. What a great experience. We had such a fun time. Our tour guide was amazing and fun.”
Paddle a stable Crescent tandem kayak through Crystal River for four hours. You get two paddles, two life vests, and a map. The rental suits beginners and families with children age 3 and up, but manatee access, launch fees, parking, weather, and seasonal rules need careful planning.
“We had a wonderful time. We saw manatees , turtles , fish and baby alligators. The weather was great and the water felt amazing.”
Paddle a two-person kayak from La Jolla Cove, then snorkel with a guide among sea lions and bright garibaldi fish. Brodie and the Everyday California team lead this two-hour outing for confident swimmers. Caves are not included, wetsuits cost $12, and check-in is 30 minutes early.
“The experience itself was good, but there were hidden fees, which we had to pay at the spot because Everyday California said they charge extra for Viator customers. I would have expected the price here to be inclusive of those, because I chose this one over booking directly from their website because it was slightly cheaper. In actually ended up paying more instead.”
Paddle Crystal River at your own pace in a stable Crescent tandem kayak. You get two paddles, life vests, and a map for about eight hours. Look for manatees, dolphins, otters, birds, and fish, with Three Sisters Springs as a possible highlight when watercraft are allowed.
“Amazing Kayaking Experience! Easy check-in process. The staff requires all participants to review two information videos before the rental. The drive is a short 2 minutes from that location to the actual loading dock area. The Tandem kayak was so sturdy and comfortable. The back rests were delightful! We saw many manatees during our kayaking experience-even though it was "off season" for them. We enjoyed Three Sisters Springs-the water was so clear and cold! We continued down different kayaking paths and enjoyed the beautiful nature around us. Make sure you ask about "The Waterfront Social" which is a nice stop during kayaking. They have a full drink and food menu-the…”
You and one partner pose in a clear kayak at Grand Turk Cruise Port while a photographer uses a high-resolution drone and an in-water director guides your positions. The private session suits engagements, maternity photos, Valentine’s Day, or a special vacation keepsake.
“If you want to have an amazing experience text them on WhatsApp the day before. When I tell you they were on it. They texted me the day of that morning and asked what ship I was getting off on asked me to send pics of what we were weRead more”
Join George and the Riptide Milos Kayak team for a 2 to 3-hour sunset paddle from Alogomandra Beach. Explore Papafragas caves, pass ancient Fylakopi, swim in clear water, and receive GoPro photos and videos afterward.
“Me and my husband went kayaking with George! We had to change our route due to the winds. The experience was amazing. He taught us how to kayak properly and told us awesome history and facts about our route. He took great pictures and mini videos of us! Would recommend this to everyone! :D”
Join SydneyKayak guide Sam McLeod or Cathy for a four-hour sunset paddle from Rose Bay to Milk Beach and Shark Island. You’ll receive a kayak, paddle, life vest, safety briefing, and picnic dinner, with time for photos, swimming, and views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
“It was a thrilling adventure with stunning scenery. Sam was the perfect host. Highly recommend this experience for adventure lovers!! 5/5 for me.”
