You’ll have your choice of beach cruisers, hybrid bikes, and/or hardtail mountain bikes. This leisurely bike tour can vary depending on your group’s size and interests but is typically coastal with some inland stops at some of Santa Barbara’s famous landmarks and views.

We run our 2-hour city bike tours daily at 9 am, 10 am, and 1 pm at $75 pp.

Electric Bike Tours

The Santa Barbara Electric Bike Tour is our Santa Barbara City Bike Tour on steroids. With our TownieGo and Specialized Turbo Como electric bikes, we’ll be covering more ground and seeing more of Santa Barbara. Our electric bikes coast up to 20mph with their peddle assist. These bikes are great for persons young and old alike – an excellent option if you’re bringing the whole family. Santa Barbara is no longer a small town, but riding on the Santa Barbara Ebike Tour will provide you a glimpse of the best the city has to offer.

We run our private Santa Barbara Ebike tours daily at 10 am, and our group tours daily at 2 pm. The private electric bike tour costs $95 pp. The group ebike costs $85 pp. Tour running times are 2-3 hours, and all tours include your choice of an Electra TownieGo or Specialized Turbo Como electric bike.

We carry Specialized and Santa Cruz mountain bikes. If you’d like an easy family ride and want to test out some nice mountain bikes with a guide this is a great chance, or if you’re an intermediate to advanced rider and want a great bike with a guide to take you into some nice single track we can help.

Surf Lessons

Surf lessons run daily 9 am, 11am, 1 pm, and 3pm and range from $65 – $115 depending on the group size. The lessons typically take place 20 minutes south of town to provide more consistent knee to waist high waves. We teach at a nice gentle break that is great for learning. In the winter we can often teach in Santa Barbara as there is typically enough surf to teach; summer we move south as it’s typically too small in town.

Kayak Tours

We run private kayak tours at 11am for $60 pp and have a group tour at 1pm for $50 pp. The tours are 1.5 hours and we’ll take you through the proper paddling technique and some safety instructions before venturing out into the water. We’ll paddle along the coast of Santa Barbara looking for sea life, while your guide. The view from the water looking back at Santa Barbara is beautiful and really lets you see all of SB and its mountains. Book now!

Some of the best activities in Santa Barbara include renting bikes; our city is small enough you can see most of it from a bike and explore at your own pace. If you only have a small amount of time or want insights into the city take one of our bike tours!

Our hourly kayak and SUP rentals are set up April-Sept at West Beach. We can also deliver to any beach in town for a full day stand up paddleboard rental.
