We had a great kayak trip with Ryan, he showed us the harbor, the local wildlife and pointed out local attractions from the water.

We had an amazing experience kayaking with Audrey as our tour guide. She is very knowledgeable of the area and she guided us to see the amazing spots with seals and sea lions. She gave us the information about the area and directed us to areas we would not even know to explore on our own. She is amazing tour guide and we would recommend this tour to our friends!

We very much enjoyed our kayak tour. It was early morning and foggy which felt eerie and adventurous. Blaze was a great guide as he was helpful in getting our gear together and interesting and funny during our tour. We highly recommend the kayak tour as a fun morning or afternoon in Santa Barbara.

We had Josh for our private kayak tour of the Santa Barbara harbor. He is fabulous! Knowledgable about the history of the harbor and the environment . We had a great view of sea lions and saw seals and pelicans. It was our first time sea kayaking and Josh was a wonderful instructor. The water was perfect and it was not too hot. Highly recommend .

Really enjoyed our Kayak Tour of the Santa Barbara Harbor and just beyond the breakwall. Sean was a great tour guide, very informative! Only watch out was my 12 yr old son and I developed blisters on our hands from gripping too hard with the paddles. The conditions were perfect so the issue was all of our own making. I'd definitely recommend a tour of the harbor by kayak, it's a great way to get out and see the boats, some sea lions, and the city and mountains from the water!

My boyfriend and I had the best experience. It was a very reasonable price. Our tour guide was very excellent very kind and informative. The water and environment was very peaceful. We seen pelicans, sea lions, and seals. The highlight of the kayaking trip was passing through the waves when boats passed by. It was scary at first because of how much the kayak was rocking but it was fun after you got over that fear.
