Additional Information

UNSET ALONG THE SANTA BARBARA COAST

Santa Barbara sunsets are world renowned and winter happens to be the best time of year to see a dazzling display of rainbow sherbert colors spattered across the sky. Once the sun crosses the horizon, the majestic mountains are aglow with deep purple hues. Summer provides a little more warmth and a later start time. Viewing sunset by kayak is truly a unique Santa Barbara experience. This is a great activity or romantic date idea before grabbing happy hour or a glass of wine in the Funk Zone.

Brave the freezing ocean for this tour - Bella was a great tour guide! She was super nice and very knowledgeable. It was a small group tour so we were able to customize our experience based on what we wanted to do. Sunset was a unique time of day and way better than in the blazing heat.

See Santa Barbara From The Ocean - I highly recommend the sunset paddle! We had a party of 6 and 2 guides (one leading, one bringing up the rear) led us through the harbor, under a giant catamaran, past seals and on out into the ocean to see the seals on the buoy. Absolutely beautiful evening, sun setting as we came back in and to the wharf, then under the wharf. Our guides kept us away from boats entering/leaving the harbor, they clearly knew what they were doing, and they offered stories/history about the harbor, wharf, seals and birds. A truly wonderful trip!!!

Fantastic way to watch the sun go down - Paddle Sports Center is fantastic. We rented some SUPs one morning and then came back for the sunset kayak. It was awesome. We stayed out through the gorgeous sunset and the first stars coming out. Absolutely breathtaking. Taylor was a knowledgable, fun, and safe guide. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
