La Vida Laguna offers a variety of outdoor adventures around Laguna Beach, and guests consistently rave about the personalized attention and local expertise. The e-bike tours seem particularly popular, with guides like Jason, Ben, and Rob leading riders through hidden neighborhoods and scenic hills that visitors might otherwise miss. First-timers appreciate the patient instruction that gets them comfortable on e-bikes quickly. The team also runs surf lessons and kayaking excursions, including memorable dolphin encounters. What really stands out across reviews is the quality of the guides. Names like Jaeson, Charles, Jake, and Petey come up repeatedly, praised for being knowledgeable, friendly, and laid-back. Jake's marine biology background apparently adds fascinating context to kayaking trips, while surf instructors create a no-stress environment perfect for beginners. The consistent five-star ratings reflect genuine enthusiasm from guests who describe their experiences as trip highlights worth recommending to friends and family.
My sister and I lucked out with a private two hour E-bike tour from Jason. Neither of us had ever ridden an E-bike but after a few minutes and with some good instruction we were off and zooming around the hills and valleys of Laguna. Jason was a great guide with local knowledge and good conversation. Many thanks for showing us around! Hope we can come back and do it again in the future!
