This was the best way to end the day on the water and watching the sunset. Dario R. was a fantastic guide who enthusiastically shared his knowledge of the sea life and the area. My daughter and I had a fabulous time together.

Our guide was professional and fun. He had great facts/info about the area and things we saw. I was a little worried about the waves even in the harbor but he expertly guided us thru and i came back braver than i thought i would. I liked the small group size and the trip length was about perfect, i got a bit of a workout but was not exhausted.

Asa was such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide!! He had so many cool tidbits to share about Santa Barbara and answered a bunch of our questions. We had zero experience kayaking but he was very helpful and it was so wonderful being out in the ocean.
