    The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. Rented 2 electric boats this weekend for me & my family. I made reservations about a week in advance, no deposit is required; you pay on the day. We had a great time. I've been coming here since 2021 for our church retreats; but 1st time with my family.

    We were so happy with our electric boat rental!! We called ahead to reserve the small one for 4 of us + our little dog-it seats up to 8 for $75/hour. No deposit required... Was a perfect day for putting around the harbor! The boat only goes like 5 mph haha! Very comfortable! We brought some drinks and munchies too! Lost track of time and while we went a little over 2 hrs he only charged us for the 2 I am definitely returning! They have everything here! Hydra bikes, kayaks, large electric boats that seats up to 12 bringing tge whole family next time yesss!

    5 stars fir Carlos he outfitted our large group with a combination of double and single kayaks. We had a great time, the dock is very easy to push off from, the life jackets fit fine and the boats are smooth and easy to navigate. They are not strict about the time either and you can go a little over without incurring extra charges. They also have maps for newbs.

    Great company. Carlos took care of us when we got there. I had family members visiting from out of town and took them for a boat ride. Super easy to book over the phone. They can accommodate toddlers easily, such a fun and memorable experience!

    Staff is very accommodating and very nice super helpful. So easy making the reservation and checking in was easy and pleasant. We rented boat for 1 hour on Mother's Day and brought food. They gave all the Mothers a single rose when we were done with our boat ride.

    Rachel is awesome! Super knowledgeable of the ocean, water, marine life, and history of the area…read more What a rad human being to have guiding the tour. As it turns out, all of the harbor seals, and sealions have names. We befriended one named Steve, he is much better at swimming than I am. He also taught me secret techniques to paddling. This one Pelican named Parry got into a barking match with some sealions, which is a fight he wasn't gonna win, let's be honest. Though I was hoping to see an M-A-N-A-T-E-E ... next time! If you're gonna go down on Haley street, where the dogs are easy and the sun is cheap, you never know just who you'll meet, on Haley. (But hopefully it's Rachel from the Santa Barbara Adventure Company, and you get her kayak tour; shout out!)

    A heartfelt thank you to Santa Barbara Adventure Company for creating such a memorable birthday…read moreexperience for our daughter. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We had a fun ferry ride to the islands and even got to slow down to watch a large Sunfish (Mola Mola) snacking on some jellies. I recommend getting in line early to secure the best view seating on the ferry. Our kayak guides, Chuck and Adam, were exceptional--knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made the entire trip both fun and informative, while ensuring we always felt safe and well cared for. We were fortunate to have perfect weather and warm water, which allowed us to explore all seven sea caves--many of which are inaccessible during high tide or rougher conditions. It made the experience even more special. Having lived in Santa Barbara for 22 years, this was my first time visiting the islands, and it was truly unforgettable. The pristine landscapes, abundant sea life, and even spotting several tiny island foxes while enjoying our picnic lunch, made it an unforgettable adventure. We can't wait to do it again--highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and exceptional experience!
