The tour guide was beyond anything we expected. Jason was our guide and he was professionally chill. He broke down every part of the tour, took extreme care to make sure my girl and my puppy were all situated and made sure it was an amazing experience. Heā€™s witty, funny and an absolute joy beyond anything we thought this tour would be. Time flew by because he kept all of us engaged in conversation and fun adventures that I wish we had another few hours to just hang out. Iā€™ve never been on a tour where the guide made the tour and trip memorable. Canā€™t wait to come back again! If itā€™s your first time, donā€™t overthink it, I was able to paddle for my girl and me just fine. Our Pug was getting adjusted and it was super easy for us to keep up without any issues. The shed they use to lock up everything has a full staff around it at all times and you have nothing to worry about leaving it there. I over packed and bought a waterproof case and bagā€¦ wasnā€™t necessary at all. Enjoy!

Paige was a wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable on the Santa Barbara area, not just the water but food places as well. SHE WAS JUST THE BEST, OKAY.
