Santa Barbara Day Trip Itinerary

4 Quintessential Santa Barbara Activities

Morning:

Electric Bike Tour

Start your adventure with a scenic electric bike ride along the coastal paths, taking in panoramic ocean views, mellow beaches, and adjacent mountains. Your guide will stop periodically to share fascinating insights about Santa Barbara’s history, culture, and rich biodiversity of plant and animal life while you cruise the beachfront and to your next destination…the hiking trailhead!

Midday:

Hiking Tour

When you meet us at our shop for the beginning of your tour experience our guide will talk with you about different hike options. Whether you are looking for a more strenuous climb up the front country terrain or a more leisurely walk along the ocean bluffs we have hikes in Santa Barbara designed for all levels. Let your guide know what type of hike you are looking to tackle and they will choose a trail based on your preferences.

Plug & Play Lunch Break

Lunch Included

You’ll be burning calories throughout the day and needing to refuel at some point. Whether that’s before you get to the trailhead, during the hike at the summit, or after coming down the mountain- we’ve got you covered. Select an artisan sandwich or salad from one of our local favorites - Panino! Our guide will show you the menu at the beginning of the tour and ask your preference for when and where you’d like to enjoy your meal. Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian options are available. Chips and a drink provided by Cal Coast Adventures on the side.

Afternoon:

Kayak Tour

The day ends with a leisurely and tranquil kayak tour, where you’ll paddle along the stunning coastline of Santa Barbara. Kayaking is the perfect way to get up close to the sea life, pier, and harbor boats. Your guide will help you navigate the gentle waters and share insights about marine life, Stearn’s wharf and the breakwater, as well as fun facts about boats belonging to famous folk.

FAQ

What should I wear?

Throughout the 6-hour tour duration the weather can change and you will get at least partially wet during the kayak tour. Bring clothing that you can sweat in, layers to add on when biking, and clothing/swimsuit that will likely get wet. Keep in mind that you will be hopping on the bike after your kayak tour- you may find it best to have a dry set of clothes to change into to make your ride more comfortable. A hat or other sun protection is a wise choice. If you do not plan to bring a backpack on the tour our guide can store items in their bike packs for when you need to shed/add a layer. Same goes for a bathing suit/dry set of clothes. We have a restroom at our shop if you’d like to change back into normal clothing after your tour experience

Will there be bathroom options throughout the tour?

Where is the meeting point?

Can my kids participate?

What if I want to break up the tour and enjoy each activity throughout my Santa Barbara trip?

Both electric bike tours and guided kayak tours are available on a daily basis at Cal Coast Adventures. If you want to spread the activities out during your trip, your best option is to book these independently on our site. Hiking tours are a special offering included in the All Day Adventure Pass; that being said, if your group is particularly interested in a guided hike in Santa Barbara and the all-day tour is not an option for you, reach out to us via phone or email and we can see what we can do!

How intense is this tour? This tour is definitely on the active side, but it is a private tour and completely customizable. The electric bike portion, hiking activity, and ocean kayak paddle can be taken as leisurely or as strenuously as you like! Let your guide know what type of experience you are looking for; they are experts in crafting an expedition just for you!
