    This is a very chill experience. You get to see Santa Barbara from the ocean perspective. The boat booking limits the number of guests so it is not overcrowded.

    It was just a wonderful intimate experience. The narration was perfect. Informative with lots of quiet spaces to enjoy the view, the breeze. Most narrative tours the guide just talks on and on with hardly any breaks. Our tour guide had wonderful balance. He would share interesting information and then offer quietness so we could absorb and enjoy the surroundings. It was the best tour I've experienced in a very long time. It will be a tour that I will sign up for every time I am in Santa Barbara. The highlight of my birthday weekend celebration. Thank you!
