My boyfriend and I went on our first Kayaking Tour and we had an amazing tour guide named Taylor. He was very welcoming and made me feel safe about being on my first kayak trip in the ocean. We were able to see some boats that were docked on the port as he shared some stories about historical facts about the area. The highlight of the ride was definitely being so close to the sea lions!!! We will definitely be back soon with our kids next time.

Trey was a very helpful and patient kayak guide! He went at the pace we were comfortable with, as we paddled around the harbor early on until venturing out to Stearns Wharf once we got the hang of it. We learned a bit about Santa Barbara’s history, and even got up close to some sea lions. The tour was an unforgettable experience, as it was a unique way of viewing the city.
