We chose the 1 PM time slot, which is a 2-hour scheduled ride that includes two stops--one in Fillmore and another at Prancer's Farm on the way back. The ride was full with 16 guests, and the guides did a great job leading from both the front and back, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Check-in was quick and easy, and they even provided complimentary popcorn and water, which was a nice touch before getting started. The ride itself was an absolute blast and definitely a solid workout--very similar to cycling, covering just under 10 miles round trip. The carts are super easy to use, with clear instructions from the guides. Each cart comes equipped with a front storage rack, cup holders, a hand brake (which you'll appreciate on the downhill!), an odometer, and a switch to toggle between manual and automatic. The assist mode really comes in handy on the uphill stretch heading toward Fillmore, while the ride back is a smooth and enjoyable downhill cruise. The weather couldn't have been better, and the scenery was incredible. Along the way, we took in beautiful views of avocado and lemon groves, cactus fields, and plenty of wildlife--squirrels, lizards, and even bees hard at work pollinating. It made the whole experience feel peaceful and immersive. On the way back, we stopped for about 20-30 minutes at Prancer's Farm, where we got to see a variety of animals including goats, pigs, bulls, and sheep. There's also a petting zoo option if you purchase tickets. The farm had a fun seasonal setup for Easter, along with a shop where you can buy fresh fruit, beef jerky, and other local goods. Overall, this was one of the most fun and unique experiences we've had. If you enjoy the outdoors, want a bit of adventure, and don't mind getting in a great workout, I highly recommend giving Sunburst Railbikes a try. Hopefully my photos--and this review--help you decide to book your own ride!

Riding over a moving rattlesnake in between the tracks was a startling surprise! I lived to tell the tale there! The first stop at the end of the route before turning the railbikes back was ok, but I feel there could be some kinda stalls or local art on display during the 15 minute break. Surely some vendors could set up something? The next stop going back was at Prancers Farm which was ok for some local produce. Having said that, a fruit smoothie or ice cream made locally would be a nice touch? I went to go look at the animals but didn't wanna pay $7 each person to do so. After this 30 min stop we went back to the depot. I experienced this adventure in early spring on a day which was maybe high 70s. I'm not so sure I would enjoy this in Summer.

This is one of the BEST tours I've ever done, and I've done a lot of them!…read more William was friendly, helpful, and overall just a really great guide. We were staying in Solvang so saved $10 per person by meeting at the starting point, Brander Vineyards (vs taking the van from SB), and he sent me info on what time to get there and where to park ahead of time. There was no time wasted on this tour. We got a quick info session on how to use the e-bikes - VERY easy! - and then got started. The 16-ish mile ride was easy on the e-bikes; the one thing I will say is that I'm grateful everyone on our tour chose them because it definitely would have been different if there had been people utilizing regular bikes on the uphill climbs. We stopped for rests and photos several times, including at a mini horse farm! My 17-year-old was with me and when we made our last stop at the lavender farm William grabbed him a lavender lemonade since he obviously couldn't partake in the wine tastings. Great service! Speaking of wine tastings, there were two included, and we also got some great souvenir water bottles with the brand name on them! The lunch - caprese-style sandwiches, side salad, and charcuterie boards - was also awesome. We also had an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting toward the end, which was a really neat touch :) I can't say enough good things about this tour, especially for the price we paid. I did a tour in Sonoma last year that was more expensive and didn't include any wine tastings at all, and while I had a great time on that tour regardless, this one was above and beyond and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

The two-person surrey bikes are heavy. The driver is on the left. To brake, pull the large lever on the left side towards you. To set the parking brake, lift a small clip upwards to hold the brake lever in place. The passenger is on the right: their steering wheel is not connected so they can spin it in circles if they want! 4. The one-person chopper is fairly heavy. Decently easy to control, though not the best at slopes. Turning can be tricky if you don't account for the back wheels and the room they need, but is otherwise quite good to control. No bell on this bike, so make sure you indicate your intentions when passing people. 5. Each bike has one gear and a freewheel.

I've rented from him successfully before, and he was aware of our plans. With several days of rain in the forecast, the only dry day lined up perfectly for our ride. The night before pickup, Craig canceled the reservation, claiming he didn't want to rent the bikes because the trails would be "too muddy." Mountain bikes are literally designed to handle all conditions--that's the entire point of them. He was obviously aware of the weather forecast well in advance but waited until the last possible moment to back out, giving me zero time to find bikes elsewhere. I will never rent from Craig again and strongly advise others to avoid his service.

They've got all kinds of different bikes and even guided tours. I was able to walk up and rent a bike in the morning without any problem. You can also make reservations and schedule things in advance. The price was reasonable and the bike was in good condition. They have maps with recommended rides and being Santa Barbara, there are few bad options. However if you do this, I would recommend going north. The e-bike revolution has really opened up so much of the biking world, including places that may have really only been accessible to the most hardcore bikers. With pedal assist, even the most fearsome hills are not that big of a deal for the average rider. I rode about 20 miles on my trip, which seems like a lot but wasn't really since I opted for the most powerful pedal assisted road bike. Of course, getting a simple cruiser is also an option if you just want to enjoy a nice ride. Super fun and, highly recommended. Five stars.

The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating, the Chef is top notch. The training camp is all inclusive. Will we be back? Absolutely! Once you have gone through the program you become part of a new family and you are always welcome whether it's for more training (private or in group) or just a visit to say hi. You can bring your own bike or rent one of their latest edition BMW GS or GSA, with an option to purchase one that includes many incentives. We purchased our BMW 1250 GS 2 years ago after our intro class and have been hooked ever since traveling across the US and Canada. If you aspire to the exciting lifestyle of adventure motorcycle travel particularly on the BMW GS series motorcycle, enroll in the Rawhyde adventure training program so you are then prepared for incredible opportunities.
