A shortlist you could hand a friend landing tomorrow: 3 wildlife trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Paddle Santa Barbara Harbor for two hours, spotting seals, sea lions, pelicans, and more with a friendly beginner-focused guide.
“more of a harbor tour than a wildlife tour but Aidan was a great tour guide! But you will definitely get to see a few seals at least. Great for beginner kayakers over more experienced ones.”
Paddle Santa Barbara Harbor for two hours with expert guides, spotting seals, sea lions, birds, and coastal views for $55.
“We had a beautiful trip around Santa Barbara Harbor with Spencer. He is very charming and funny, at the same time provided us with knowledge and confidence to score the open ocean, see the sea lions and come back safely. I definitely can recommend experience with him! Honestly, he is just the best and deserves a raise!”
Spend two hours watching for whales, dolphins, and sea lions in Santa Barbara Channel waters on a small-group yacht cruise from Stearns Wharf.
“Captain Andy did not disappoint. Navigate us straight to the whales. Saw dolphins and sea lion as well.”
Pick a coastline, a canyon or a back lot.
