Recommend for a fun adventure with your family! The tandem kayaks meant our children could enjoy this activity too. Our guide explained sea life and knew where to take us to see sea lions, starfish, and harbor seals. Super fun for our family!

We had so much fun with our guide, Spencer! We lucked out to have a beautiful sunny day this past week. I was fascinated with the history of the harbor, pointing out wildlife, and appreciating the uniqueness of the location/currents or the Santa Barbara harbor. We even were lucky enough to see dolphins! Spencer has convinced us to come back to try the Channel Islands kayaking next time!

Amazing adventure. Out of shape and a bit overweight. 😂. Had a great time with Paco out on the water. Give us great stories about Santa Barbara. Loved seeing sea lions and seals. I’ll never forget how to tell them apart.
