Megan was an amazing guide. Super fun kayaking trip for beginners like us to get to see the harbor and sea lions from a cool perspective.

Great one and a half hour tour in the harbor. We saw lots of seals and sea lions. Learned about the history of SB as well. Great

Had a fantastic sunset kayak session with Max. We paddled around the harbour spotting famous boats, seals and bird life then out to a bouy to see some sea lions enjoying the evening sun before heading back to see the sunset over the mountains. Max was great fun, but also knowledgeable about the local environment and geography - we learnt a lot as well as having a fun time. We did let home beat us in the race though!!! Couldn't recommend highly enough - a must do for families visiting beautifulSanta Barbara. Suitable for all ages and abilities.

I had paid for private lesson for granddaughter who had not been in a kayak before. However there were two other people who were on the trip. They had done kayaking before it seemed to work out Granddaughter said they went far out it was scary but she did it

It was lovely to be out on the water with the pelicans, seals and sea lions. One of our small party got a little fatigued on the way back in (and I was pleased that my 11yo was in a kayak with me) so does require some effort but it was just delightful. Lydia was a pleasant guide too.

We had a wonderful time exploring the harbor of Santa Barbara. Savannah was great, pointing out the highlights of the harbor and diving for silver dollars with our kids. Would highly recommend for a family who wants to get out on the water.

Last week my family and I were traveling in California and we did the Sea Lion Kayak Tour with the Paddle Sports Center in Santa Barbara. It was amazing 2 hour tour! Our guide, Max, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area, as well as information about the harbor itself and the animals that live there. The highlight was when we kayaked out into the open ocean where the sea lions were taking a nap on a buoy! Would highly recommend!

Our family of 5 had a blast on our sunset kayak tour with our awesome guide, Jeff. The views were beautiful, we saw lots of wildlife, and Jeff had lots of interesting stories to share about the area.

Great tour and guide and saw lots of animals. guide is excellent to explain the animals and history of the are.

We went on the Painted Cave Kayak Expedition and had a great time. The Capitan John and crew were excellent. Our guide Craig was knowledgeable and very nice. The breakfast and lunch by Tim was delicious The boat was very clean and was in excellent condition. Paddling the tandem kayak was fun and paddling down wind was pretty easy. The caves were fascinating. The other guests on the boat were nice.

We enjoyed our day watching the sea lions up close along with the pelicans and learning the history behind the entire Santa Barbara wharf

A girlfriend and met in Santa Barbara for a long awaited reunion. We decided to take a tour with paddle sports. It was truly the highlight of our trip! Everyone was professional and Stephanie was the best guide ever. The rest of the crew were friendly, warm and even gave us dunning recommendations. I can’t wait to do it again!

Max was our excellent guide during our two hour kayak tour of the Santa Barbara harbor. He was fun, funny, laid back and informative. We kayaked around the harbor, under the wharf and went a bit past the sand break to see some sea lions resting on a buoy. We learned a lot of history and saw some amazing sights, yachts, wildlife, etc. This was a great tour and it exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend.

Max was an awesome teacher and guide. He was patient, very friendly, fun and informative. We had a great time learning how to maneuver and balance our way through the harbor. Thanks Max

Really beautiful tour of Santa Barbara Harbor with knowledgeable guides. We kayaked for about two hours and managed to see sea lions, seals, pelicans, and learn about the history of the Harbor.
