The kayaking was awesome. Sean & Andre did a great job. They were both very knowledgeable and patient. There’s an area where you can put all of your stuff. You can bring your phones on the tour to take pictures. They waited for us when we were a few minutes late. Great tour.

Would definitely recommend this experience. It’s not difficult and is very fun. Our guides (Sean and Andre) were super informative and did a great job. We learned a lot about the history of Santa Barbara while paddling around which was an added bonus. Getting to see the seals up close was really cool too!

Our guide Kaetlyn was phenomenal. She was great with my 7 year old making sure he had a memorable experience. He chatted her ear off the entire trip and she was very gracious and talked with him about the marine life, the ocean, the harbor, and all things Santa Barbara. She took a ton of great pictures of us which was a great bonus. The tour itself was a lot of fun and Kaetlyn goes at whatever pace that suites you. Wear sunblock and if you get seasick take Dramamine before you go out. Most of the tour is very calm but if you venture a bit outside the harbor you feel the swells moving the kayak up and down. Great tour with an exceptional guide and an exceptional company. I also rented bikes from these guys and the pricing was great and the staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend.
