Trip Details: (Include as much information as you think is relevant and helpful. Why is this a good place to run a program, etc?)
This “introduction to kayaking” trip will teach you the basic paddle strokes and boating safety as we explore shallow caves and sea life near San Diego. After a seaside lunch and a quick ground lesson we will head out for a 2 hour tour of the coastal area. This is a great area to be introduced to the challenge of sea kayaking. The trip price includes transportation, kayaks, personal outfitting and instruction. La Jolla is a unique and beautiful treasure in southern California and a prefect place to take a beginner group of sea kayakers. Not only does it have natural beauty but it also protected as an ecological reserve. It is very well protected by life guards and they are on patrol trough out the day.
