We had a really great time on our kayaking tour around the bay in Santa Barbara. It was a super calm day and we got to enjoy the chilled out Californian atmosphere. Our guide, Liam, was really knowledgable and pointed out all the interesting sights and told us some great stories about the town. He also let us get the hang of the kayak first and went at our pace to make sure we didn’t get too far behind. We saw all the Santa Barbara wildlife which was awesome, sometimes getting really close up (but not too close!). I’d definitely recommend this trip to anyone who’s visiting the city. Thanks for a really great afternoon, Liam!

Emily was upbeat and fun, very knowledgeable about the coast and the general area. She respected the environment and the area which I appreciated. She also gave good recommendations on places to go to.

Lovely private kayak tour around the pier and marina. The guide is an environmental biologist so gave get overview of the geology and environment. Very good. Kayaks are easy to paddle and navigate.
