We had a great time! Parker was a fun tour guide. He was a little hard to find at first. He might need signage or coordinates. He has dry packs and phone cases so your stuff stays dry. The trip was great. Hard work, but we had fun! There is a lot of birds and boats. We were able to see a harbor seal. The sunset was worth it.

Wow, don't miss this tour if you're in Santa Barbara! We've done many kayak tours over the years but this one was really special. Our guide Bret was so incredibly informative about local wildlife and sealife, while also proving excellent details about the history of the Harbor. The view from the kayaks is magical with the mountains rising above the sea. Highly recommend this tour, it was a perfect pace and a lovely 2 hours on the water.

Great tour! We toured the harbor, the wharf, the marina, got up close and personal with sea lions, bird colonies and other wildlife. And, oh what a sight to see all of Santa Barbara at sunset from the sea! Our guide was terrific; easy going, great sense of humor and made us (novice kayakers) all feel comfortable.
