2.Whale and Wildlife Yacht Cruise in Santa Barbara

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55Top rated

Set out from Stearns Wharf on a 2-hour wildlife cruise through the productive Santa Barbara Channel. The captain may seek whales, dolphins, and sea lions, with Captain Andy earning praise for finding wildlife. The boat holds no more than 26 people, keeping the outing personal.

“We had a mix of beautiful weather and some foggy cool temperatures. The cruise itself and the way it was conducted was Top Notch and professional. We saw only a few whales from the distance but no disappointment as the overall experience was great. Highly recommended.”
