The wife and I went on this LA Kayak tour of the Los Angeles, River this August 13th of 2023. We chose the 12:30pm tour instead of the later one which supposedly is better, because we had prior plans of later in the afternoon. It was $85 a piece which included, a bike ride, Helmut, vest, and kayak as well as a quick lesson on how. to maneuver a kayak, we were beginners, as well as the history of the LA River. You meet up at a small park, be aware there is no restrooms in this small park. Once you check in you go for a shirt bike ride on a beach type bike. You arrive at the start of the trip in what appears to be the nice big backyard of a residence. There is a port potty there as well if you need it. Once there the history of the LA River is discussed as well as how to maneuver a kayak and then you're off. We had two guides go with the group. One was a nice young lady from Poland and another was a young guy I'm guessing of Hispanic descent. They were both very nice and very helpful. A couple times the lady took pictures of us on our kayaks and I figured maybe we could get copies or buy them but that never came up. Too bad because I'd of liked to have gotten a couple. At the end of the trip you ned to help bring the equipment out of the LA River. And then that is is. We chose top put $10 in the tip jar for the guides but you don't have to. There was no pressure to either. But like I said they were very nice and helpful so I was glad to do it. I've lived in LA all my 60 years of life and never did this or thought we ever could. So glad I took the trip and I highly recommend you do too. My only suggestion is instead of taking off at the end I'd stick around and see if you can get copies of the pictures they take on the trip of you. - via
