Sea Lion Kayak Tour - Santa Barbara Harbor
Overview
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.

Megan was an amazing guide. Super fun kayaking trip for beginners like us to get to see the harbor and sea lions from a cool perspective.Sienna was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable of the local marine and bird life as well as interesting facts about Santa Barbara and the harbor. It was a fun tour. The wind was pretty strong, but she did a great job getting us safely to the green buoy to see the adorable sea lions.
