Amazing experience!! Cannot thank Marc enough for leading us though such a perfect day. He was great for the whole group. Super informative and funny. Kayaked the Channel Islands, in, out and through the many sea caves! Exciting, challenging and so much fun! We we're lucky enough to have low tide giving us opportunities for most of the caves. Kayaked with seals, swam at the beach and saw 6 large pods of dolphins!! Just awesome!

Pat was amazing! This was my 1st time surfing, I felt safe and relaxed in the water. It was so much fun. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Adventure, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, the equipment provided is very well kept and they make the experience fun for everyone. Totally turned this MN girl into a Surfer girl. 😁

Our guide made sure everyone in our group was comfortable communicating and doing good throughout the tour. He gave us excellent instruction so that we were as safe as possible when entering the caves and maneuvering around the island. Would definitely do this tour at Santa Cruz Island or another kayak tour again with the Santa Barbara Adventure Company.

Pat, Laird and the whole Santa Barbara Adventure Company were awesome!!! Super fun, safety conscious and helpful. We did the 1.5 hour tour and it was super fun! Not crazy technical from a kayak standpoint, but the scenery, caves, and wildlife were on point! It was a group tour so the skill set ranged from never in a kayak to white water experience. Pat and Laird kept it fun for everyone with cave explorations and informational talks about the local geology, plants and animals. Definitely going again!

First things first--if you're looking for an unforgettable sea adventure than look no further!!!
I took a group of friends on the painted cave sea kayak tour to celebrate my bachelor party in July. I can honestly say that this was one of the most unique and incredible experiences I've had (and I've done a lot of outdoor activities) and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore one of the least visited public parks in the country--the Channel Islands.
The day started at 7:30am with a check-in where we were greeted by one of the amazing tour guides Laird who gave us the run down of the day and had us fill out some basic paperwork. We boarded the boat at 8am where we were treated to a full-spread continental breakfast. The boat is super clean and spacious, with two bathrooms, 3 hot showers and a number of sleeping bunks below deck. It takes about 2 hours to reach the islands but the time flies--you can nap in one of the many bunks available below deck, hang out in the upstairs cabin to keep warm, or as I did hang out on deck and catch the amazing views. We came across multiple pods of dolphins on the way out who really but on a show! It does get chilly if you're standing on the deck so be sure to wear warm clothes and have an extra pair of dry warm clothes for the ride back. On the kayak tour a bathing suite will do (they'll provide wetsuit, helmet, jacket, life preserver, etc).
Upon arrival at the islands we sat through a 15 minute prep session where the guides went over all the safety information and gave us a run down of the equipment as well as what to do out on the water (such as how to get back in if you fall out of your kayak). We put on our equipment and launched our kayaks straight from the boat.
From there, what happens next can only be described as indescribable. Our guide Spencer took us on a 2.5hr adventure where we kayaked into various sea caves and got face-to-face with multiple species of birds, sea lions, seals, etc. I hesitate to provide much more detail because it's one of those things you really need to experience, but trust me when I tell you it's a "must do!"
Back on the boat, we had a 30 minute opportunity to do some optional snorkeling while a hot lunch was being prepared. I took a hot shower, changed into my warm clothes and then went below deck for a nap in the bunk which lasted the duration of the return trip. Woke up back at harbor fully rested and still beaming from the awesome experience of the day.
