Andrea Clark Bird Refuge and Santa Barbara Zoo:
A scenic lagoon wildlife preserve with water birds, gardens, footpath and a bikeway. The Santa Barbara Zoo is home to 160 species of mammals, reptiles, birds and insects. More than 400 animals are exhibited in open, naturalistic habitats.
The Harbor:
At Santa Barbara Harbor you will find interesting stores, delicious seafood restaurants and the occasional celeberty yacht. Naturally sheltered by mountains and islands on a southward facing coastline, it is one of the best harbors in the world.
Museum of Natural History:
The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History has a rich history dating back to 1876. Exhibits and collections change throughout the year to educate and entertain children and adults alike. Make sure to check out the iconic 73-foot Blue Whale skeleton displayed out front!
Old Santa Barbara Mission:
Founded in December 4, 1786, the Santa Barbara Mission is open to the public with a museum, gardens, chapel and historic cemetery. Portions of its extensive water works are preserved in this park
Thank you so much for providing such amazing Santa Barbara tours. I took my out-of-town guests on their first day in town as a way to show them all the top historic spots (The Mission, Butterfly Beach, etc.) and give them a good lay-of-the-land to start their vacation. My guests loved the tour and went back to take advantage of the second consecutive day special — and all the freebies as part of the ticket — thank you, thank you!
What surprised me was how much I learned as a local. The tour guide was a wealth of Santa Barbara historic information. There was so much I didn’t know about my own town! Your tours are so fun, entertaining and educational. I will be back, I just had to write to let you know how much I enjoyed your service.- Kathleen M., Santa Barbara
