Then we will guide you past a family of sea lions lounging on a buoy then paddle along Stearns’ Wharf and under the Santa Barbara Sea Center on our way back to the Santa Barbara Harbor.

Ocean Kayak Tour FAQs
Some of our most commonly asked questions. If you have something specific, get in touch!
What marine life can I expect to see on ocean tours?
The Channel Islands are referred to as the Galapagos of North America! Our channel is home to humpback whales, seals, sea lions, and many species of dolphins. Seasonally we see blue whales, Orcas, and migrating grey whales. There are always a large variety of sea birds both resident and migratory. We see sharks of many varieties including spotted, lemon, and great white. There is no telling what nature will bring.
Are tours available year-round in Santa Barbara?
Most of our tours are available year-round. Occasionally a violent Pacific storm may make it impossible to safely run an ocean tour, or occasionally a summer heat wave might make conditions less than ideal for one of our tours. If we decide to cancel a tour we will always issue a full refund. Here at Captain Jack’s our aim is to create the most comfortable, fun and safe experience for our guests.
How many people are usually on the tour?
The number of people on each tour depends on which tour you are doing and what day you are planning for. We have a Toyota Sienna minivan, and three Ford Transit vans which seat 7, 9, and 14 people. (You can see our fleet on the About Us page). If you are planning your tour for a weekend it is possible that you will be in a full vehicle. Just give us a call and we can let you know about a specific date. There is always the option of making the tour private.
