PADDLING SANTA BARBARA'S 'AMERICAN RIVIERA'
Sandwiched between rugged coastal mountains and south-facing beaches, Santa Barbara is often called the American Riviera. The dramatic geography and warm Mediterranean climate are best appreciated on the ocean, by kayak. This guided kayak tour of the Santa Barbara Harbor and waterfront area is a wonderful experience for the whole family. From sea lions and sea stars to pelicans, egrets, and herons, our coastline has an abundance of beautiful creatures to admire. If you're lucky you could paddle with a family of dolphins or wave to grey whales passing by on their yearly migration pattern. This is the perfect activity if you are visiting Santa Barbara and looking for unique things to do with your friends or family.

What a great way to see the sea lions, explore the harbor and get a little exercise!! The guys at the shop as well as Jeff, our most excellent guide, were amazing! Nice, friendly, easy to work with. They got us put in the kayaks and paddling in a very effortless way. Jeff was great! He took as many pics as requested, gave good commentary about out surroundings and was just a nice guy!!! So much fun!!!Thank you

Great kayak tour in Santa Barbara. We were able to get close to the sea lions and learn about the history of Santa Barbara. The highlight was our tour guide diving down to get a live sand dollar.
