Kayak Rentals

A kayak gets you up close and personal with the Santa Barbara Harbor. Head out to the Sandspit in the Santa Barbara Harbor, circle the sea lions sunbathing on the buoys, or check out the famous Santa Barbara Wharf. Choose from group or private guided tours, or head out on your own and explore the hidden sights of the Santa Barbara coastline.

As you paddle, keep an eye out for the plant and animal life that makes our coastline so special. You will see pristine kelp beds, the harbor, and secluded beaches. Seagulls, cormorants, brown pelicans, and even dolphins will often tag along and make your day on the water even more memorable.

You can choose between single or double kayaks. Life vests and paddles are included with all kayak rentals.
