Harbor Kayak Tour
Captain Jacks Santa Barbara Tours conducts guided 1.5 hour kayak tours of the Santa Barbara Harbor daily upon request. Experience one of California’s most beautiful harbor on this fun and easy tour.
Our professionally guided tour includes a kayak lesson/briefing, all kayak gear and paddles. This tour is the perfect introduction to kayaking and is fun for the entire family. Your tour starts at the boat launch, winds through the harbor, under Stearns’ Wharf, and out to the one mile buoy. Chances are good the locals (sea lions) will show up to greet you. It is suggested you begin by 9:30 a.m. before the wind comes up!
