Glider Ride\Kayak\Wine Tasting Tour
Your spirit will soar as you glide through the air and fly like a bird. "Above" the clouds and "beyond" your wildest dreams, this thrilling engineless ride will be a magical experience you will never forget. Captain Jack's Santa Barbara Tours is proud to offer this unique adventure to the visitors of the Central Coast. The Santa Ynez Valley is one of the most picturesque gliding areas in the country. It's surrounded on three sides by mountainous national forests with sparkling "Lake Cachuma" nestled in the center, and is dotted with world class vineyards, horse ranches and magnificent estates.
 
 
  Your day will begin with a beautiful 2 hr kayak tour of the Santa Barbara Harbor (no previous experience needed). Our professionally guided tour includes a kayak lesson/briefing, all kayak gear and paddles. This tour is the perfect introduction to kayaking and is fun for the entire family. Your tour starts at the boat launch, winds through the harbor, under Stearns Wharf, and out to the one mile buoy. Chances are good the locals will show up to greet you. Dolphin, California sea lions, and harbor seals may cruise by to say hello..
 
 

Next you'll be escorted to Santa Barbara's wine country, the Santa Ynez Valley. There you will experience our "Scenic Flight" as you and your FAA certified pilot climb to 2500 ft. above the lower ridges of the Santa Ynez Coastal Mountain Range. You'll see lake Cachuma, the Santa Barbara Coastline, and by special request, the Reagan Ranch. Your 2nd stop will be to enjoy lunch at the area's most famous restaurant "Cold Spring Tavern". Built in the 1860's "The Tavern" was originally a "STAGE COACH STOP". A historical must see and some good eatin' too! In addition to delicious sandwiches, salad & soups, "The Tavern" offers Buffalo Burgers, Venison Steak Sandwiches, and many other interesting choices…too much fun! (price of lunch not included).

 
 
  Then, the finish to a perfect day, wine tasting as you review the day's activities. You'll visit two of the region's top wineries for wine tasting. Our first visit will be at the Gainey Vineyard which is surrounded by 85 acres of premium vineyards, rolling hills and gracious oaks. At this Spanish style tasting room you'll enjoy Gainey´s great wines and leave with a souvenir wine glass. At Gainey you will be given a tour of wine making at its finest.
