Our tour guide was Mia. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a blast even for a cloudy day. Highly recommend this place for all ages. You get a great view of Coronado and downtown San Diego.

Fun day activity that’s suitable for the whole family. I took my dog (note only Coronado kayak tour allows dogs, NOT La Jolla) and we had so much fun. The water is not hard to move through and wave moment is pretty minimal. You may get some waves from the bigger boats passing by but nothing scary. Your kayak will not flip over unless you’re acting a fool on it. The tour guide goes over the history of Coronado and the surrounding areas. I’ll definitely try La Jolla cave tour next time I’m in town.

My niece and I had a great time on the kayaking tour with Chuck! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and all around fun. Definitely recommended the tour and highly recommend requesting Chuck.

The workers were SO nice and helpful! We wanted to go paddle boarding last weekend but didn’t know that a groupon had to be purchased 48 hours ahead of time. So since they weren’t very busy the employees offered us a generous discount. They were very attentive and kind as they helped us with the life jackets and paddles and explained how we should go about the whole thing. Unfortunately we went too far out into the water and it was a little difficult getting back to shore with the wind pushing against us so one of the employees kindly brought me back on his own boat– speedy too! Couldn’t ask for better service.

These guys are tops! Very professional and very knowledgeable about the coves. Our 2 guides gave us a quick group instructional lesson and got our group (8 kayaks) out in the water. i took a 9am session; a little gloomy at first but it brightened up in no time. Highly recommended!!!

So slow I’m regretting stopping by here. Should have got something while I was in downtown. OmG last time I’ll come here!!!

Ahhh so I have my little brother and sister in town and of course we are trying to show them the best San Diego has to offer. We tried to plan in advance, but we ended up falling short. Oops. Looked on Unilocal*and this place pops up. Great!
We call and the phone is answered promptly. A gentleman on the phone was very friendly and helpful and got us right in for paddle boarding at 1 PM. Mind you I called at 12:43. How amazing that they got us right in. Yay!
The actual little shopping center it’s in gets quite busy on the weekends. We were lucky enough to find a good parking spot. The little shop is clean and well kept, with a modern kind of look. I hate how a lot of recreational places sometimes seem damp and nasty, Bike and Kayak Tours, Inc. is nothing like that. They have little dressing rooms with curtains and plenty of lockers to put your things in. The guides were super helpful and got everyone on their way quickly once we got to the beach. I’d totally recommend this to other people and I definitely plan on coming back.
Awesomeness. Great job Bike and Kayak Tours, Inc.

As a first timer I had a great day experince!
I recommend you look for a deal for this place on groupon! It’ll be almost half the price!
Also when you book they’ll call the day before to confirm which I thought was very thoughtful and since we’re from out of town it helped answer the few questions we had.
Also they tell you to be there 30 mins early! They mean it! If not be there at least 15 early, you’ll have to sign waivers and get ready!
As a first timer I don’t necessarily recommend the tour over the self guided unless you absolutely care about San Diego’s history lol we did the tour and my competitive bf always felt the need to catch up to the guide so it made it very interesting lol we struggled for a bit till we got the hang of it. Self guided tours look a little more relaxed, they kayak at their own pace and even just kinda float around.
Ps guide was so nice and friendly!
Omg take advantage of the view! It’s amazing I took lots of pics!
And lastly, protect your phone! If you have a Waterproof case bring it! Or put it in a ziplock (saw a guy almost tip over! Lol)
Jk one more thing! If you go on a busy weekend plan for parking! We got lucky but the lot was full and it was supa busy!

Awesome value. Service was great. Perfect day to do it. You will get wet! Make sure you have a waterproof phone case. Also leave your stuff in the locker. Makes enjoying the ride so much easier! Will go back!

Fantastic!
Professional, personable, knowledgeable staff.
I recommend them.
I had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie, Adam, and David on the night of the parade of lights for some kayaking. They were all fun, lively, and engaging.
The shop was clean, yet comfortable. There were changing rooms, lockers, and ample equipment for all.
It was a cold night, so they offered us hot coffee to take off the chill. They held up a relaxed and comfortable conversation with everyone while waiting for the other event participants.
On the tour, the guides were cognizant of each individual’s physical abilities and comfort. They were able to provide some local history and relevant ecological facts amidst the kayaking, all whilst maintaining our safety and happiness.
They did a real stand up job. I happily recommend them to anyone and everyone. This business is worthy of local support.

We took the La Jolla Plunge bike tour with Eddie and were thoroughly impressed. The sign in was quick and painless and the staff was great. Eddie was a great tour guide and gave a lot of information that was more real than just a canned speech at certain points. The scenery was gorgeous and most of the ride was either downhill or on flat ground. Seeing the sean lions and seals was great, and the cave your was fun as well. The bikes and helmets were in good shape and we didn’t have any issues during our tour. I highly recommend. Also, definitely eat at Crab Catcher in La Jolla; amazing food.

Excellent service and informative instructors. Our group was around 6 – 7 Kayaks and we had 2 guides. They took us into the cave as well which was a plus. It was a long Kayak ride but it was worth it. Remember to check in to get your free water camera!

We decided on seeing Coronado from bike and since neither of us have tried an electric bike we thought it was the perfect time to do it! These things were awesome, we had a blast buzzing around the beach walk without even breaking a sweat! They were fairly priced at about $ 55 for two bikes, two hours, plus a Unilocal check in gets you a free water proof camera :) I was surprised at the power these batteries could provide, we rode for a straight 2 hours and never came close to wearing out the battery, and I am a big dude who did not feel like pedaling on this hot day! The staff was awesome and they have lockers for $ 2 right on site which is a nice find for rental places. I would definitely recommend if you like biking. Yeah it takes the «exercise» out of it to an extent, but you can pedal of you want to. All in all, a fun experience and cool opportunity to try something different!

parking: weekdays: tons of parking. first hour is free.
environment: chill vibes and really relaxing. great quick get away. there’s a few fancy restaurant near by and two fast food stops
— book your kayaking trip on their website it’s cheaper than over the phone. you pay with your card as deposit. when you get there you check-​in and you sign a waiver. CHECK IN ON Unilocal FOR A FREE WATERPROOF CAMERA… btw– afterward they set you up wit the life jackets and paddles. they tell you to walk around a certain border line of two restaurants then you will usually see an employee that will help you settle in. the employees will tell you to stay within which boundaries. they aren’t crazy about time but do watch it. they have rental lockers for $ 2. kayaking here is different locations in SD (comparing location according to Unilocal) bc this is an actual port with boats, ferries, and navy boats VS the others are just lakes and ponds or what not… finally they have 2 locations: La Jolla and Conrado. this one is a bit farther but cheaper and you get to cross a nice bridge w/​nice views.
— AMAZING customer service, and would total go again. thanks for the great experience.

Really enjoyed my time renting from this place. The guys got us set up in no time. I made a reservation that morning and they got me in with no problem. It was decent priced too!
Remember to check in to get a free waterproof camera!
They do provide lockers for your stuff for $ 2.
We did stand up paddle boarding at Coronado and got the most amazing view of the San Diego skyline! Definitely recommend them to anyone!

The summer night tour was absolutely excellent. The location is surrounded with shops, restaurants, ice cream shops and even bars down the street.
The kayak tour departed at 8pm to paddle towards the bridge where Janie (tour guide) enlightened the group of 31 on the history of Coronado including some bits of the military installations within our sight. Next we paddled back towards the ferry where we stayed to watch the fireworks. The firework show was delayed but the staff were more than fine with staying 30 minutes later.
Tips: The lockers to put your valuables in cost $ 2.
If you want to take your cell phone with you and not worry about dropping it in the water or getting it wet then buy the plastic waterproof lanyards $ 10.75 (If you have a touch screen it’ll still read through the plastic material).
You won’t need a wetsuit for the kayak, but bring swimwear or clothing you won’t mind getting wet.

Bobby and Kevin are the best! Definitely gonna come back and do another tour.
P. S. Bobby has the better beard and Kevin has the better hair!

Date of Visit: July 4, 2015 — Night Kayaking under the Fireworks
I marked down 1 star for parking…
It was beyond HORRIBLE, but what can you expect for July 4^th weekend in a small place like Coronado right? Still was so bad I just had to…
As far as my experience with Bike and Kayak it was all good :)
They are located in the Ferry Landing Village with the Blue tarp roof right next to cold stones and burger king. We checked in, got a locker, put our stuff in the locker, put on our life vests on (they have two sizes), grabbed our paddles with glow sticks attached to each end and was ready to PAAAAARTAAAAAY… Ok Not really, we were waiting for a bit but everyone was excited and the guides were all giddy and awesome! They would answer any questions for you if you have any.
Then, we were off… we walked from the check in place to the beach (took about 5 min.) and the entire time we were walking as a group with our paddles, maneuvering through the massive crowd bbq-​ing with their familes we felt: GLORIOooouS! like we were a gang of some sort or… spartans getting ready for BATTLE!
Anyway, we were asked to crack our glowsticks (my boyfriend actually, literally cracked his open and it was dripping into the ocean killing fishes and shit. really? wth…) and each one of us started loading the kayaks and we were off to kayak the bay!
Once we got out there, we were given the choice to lock paddles if we wanted to or just paddle along while the fireworks were going off and… just to remind you… This location has the best view of San Diego bay… to add on to that… there were 4… FOUR!!! fireworks shows going off at once that just rocked through your soul! I have never seen fireworks that close before and it was MAGNIFICENT! it was such an amazing, unforgettable experience that will be hard to top next year.
Thank you, Bike and Kayak! it was one of the best July 4^th holidays I have ever had!

I’ve been on 2 bike tours & 1 kayak tour with Bike & Kayak & all of the have been great!
I’m a local but I love being a tourist in my own city. I’ve learned lots of fun facts about Coronado island, the bridge, San Diego.
It’s funny but just by chance all 3 tours so far have been led by a sweet & spunky young lady named Stephanie. Even though the tours have all been led by her, she has delivered fresh new facts on each tour & kept it fun & entertaining
