Whale Watching

Santa Barbara is the #1 whale watching destination in the world. Over 27 different types of whales and dolphins inhabit the Santa Barbara channel at different times of the year, making these waters the best whale watching area in the entire world. The 75-foot catamaran is capable of travelling at over 28 knots and can reach Santa Barbara's Channel Islands in less than an hour, allowing guests to get deeper out to sea, in less time, and have a better chance of seeing marine life. Nowhere else on the west coast can you find such a concentration of diverse marine life in such a small area.
