Unbelievably beautiful, picturesque trail, Camille was absolute guide perfection. Couldn’t have been better. Amazing.
Johnny was such a great guide! It was my first time on a kayak and thus I was doing it solo but he really made me feel comfortable and it anxious. Not to mention the experience was super fun and the sunset was beautiful! Would highly recommend and make sure to read the suggested options before your kayak tour so that you’re prepared with the proper clothing and towel.
A big Thank You to Spencer for an excellent tour! Everything was explained very well an he kept good track of all 4 of us, while also providing us with a tour and information about the Santa Barbara Harbor! It was a wonderful trip!
This was the best way to end the day on the water and watching the sunset. Dario R. was a fantastic guide who enthusiastically shared his knowledge of the sea life and the area. My daughter and I had a fabulous time together.
Our guide was professional and fun. He had great facts/info about the area and things we saw. I was a little worried about the waves even in the harbor but he expertly guided us thru and i came back braver than i thought i would. I liked the small group size and the trip length was about perfect, i got a bit of a workout but was not exhausted.
Asa, the guide was amazing and had a wealth of knowledge. My family and I had a wonderful time…thank you Asa’
Nice mellow paddle at sunset. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great way to get out on the water. Would recommend it to everyone. No prior experience required.
Asa was such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide!! He had so many cool tidbits to share about Santa Barbara and answered a bunch of our questions. We had zero experience kayaking but he was very helpful and it was so wonderful being out in the ocean.
Excellent tour of the harbour and a short trip out into the open ocean. Wildlife spotted on our trip, Pelicans, Sea Lions, Seals and Cormorants, almost in touching distance. Andre was a great tour guide and safe and done a good job explaining everything we saw.
Arty was an awesome guide who did a great job of making the tour fun, relaxed, and insightful. Saw lots of cool sea critters and learned a lot about Santa Barbara wildlife and history. Capped off with a beautiful view of Santa Barbara sunset over the mountains. Sunset kayak tour was a blast. Looking forward to doing the sea caves tour someday!
