Santa Barbara is one of the finest cities you can visit on the West Coast during the fall season. There's so much to do here that you'll be busy dawn to dusk! Not to mention the gorgeous weather, beautiful landscape, and the cultural liveliness that gets even sharper this time of year. Here are our favorite ways to enjoy Santa Barbara activities in the fall:
Add some class to your vacation with a gourmet picnic lunch with this high-class excursion through Santa Barbara Classic Wine Tours. It's a small group tour, so you'll feel relaxed and pampered the entire time, and you'll get to taste some of the finest wines in all of California. You'll even be picked up in a Mercedes-Bens, and you'll get to relax and enjoy the Santa Barbara scenery without having to lift a finger. How much classier can you get?
Santa Barbara Adventure Company will take you on a tour of the Pacific Ocean itself, via kayak. If you're looking to break free of the beach and get out on the waves, this is the day trip for you. Kayaking is a great autumn option when the sea is starting to cool off and you don't want to spend six hours of your day swimming. Enjoy the sea in a new way by paddling out onto the waves with the whole family!
Get your blood flowing with one of the most rewarding hikes in Santa Barbara. You have a choice between a short 3.5-mile trail or a longer 7-mile trail, which means you can make this a quick stop or a longer excursion. Pack a lunch if you're planning on tackling the 7-mile trail because you'll want to stay awhile once you reach Inspiration Point. It's a beautiful outlook overlooking the entirety of the coastline, and one of the nicest places in the area for a photo op. This is one of the best Santa Barbara activities according to tourists!
It's a great time of year to charter a boat and head out onto the waves and see the whales! Condor Express Whale Watching Tours is a great option. If you want to see the sea creatures that migrate through the California waters in the fall, this is the best possible way to do it.
