The instructors here clearly make all the difference. Justin, Jay, David, and the rest of the team get consistently praised for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely friendly. Multiple reviewers mention feeling like they're exploring with a friend rather than just taking a tour. They offer kayaking, e-bike tours, and surf lessons, with instructors who know the local area inside and out, sharing interesting facts about Laguna Beach's history, marine life, and hidden spots along the way. First-timers seem particularly well-cared-for across all activities. Beginners mention feeling safe and comfortable even in choppy waters or trying e-bikes for the first time. The guides take time to explain everything clearly and provide helpful feedback, especially during surf lessons. Wildlife sightings like seals add to the experience, and the laid-back, conversational vibe makes it easy to enjoy yourself. Several people specifically mention coming back for multiple experiences, which says plenty about the quality and consistency you can expect.
Took my first ever surf lesson with Justin this week. He had me standing on my third wave. Also a great guy. Can’t recommend Laguna Ethos enough. Editing my review to add that I have been out with Justin now for 5 lessons. He is a great instructor. He always works hard to move around to the best break and routinely stays out over the lesson time.
