Surfing Lesson in Santa Barbara (2 Hours)sarah_s, Aug 2026
Great first time surfing!
Andrey was an awesome teacher! Beginners, first time, and he made us feel comfortable in the water and feel like we knew what to do. Super fun! We are pretty athletic but had never surfed before. Andrey has been surfing for decades and has a passion for teaching.

Fantail E-boat Rental in Ventura448sylviad, Jul 2026
A beautiful 2 hours
Booking was simple online, but if you book through Cool Destinations, you need to tell the attendant to check for a Cool Destinations reservation as they had a hard time finding ours. They eventually did and upgraded our boat without additional cost, which was kind. The attendant, Donovan, and his boss, Brad, we’e both very friendly. The harbor is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Amazing Wine Tour with Perfect LA Pickup!
Amazing Wine Tour with Perfect LA Pickup!This wine tour was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The excursion through the vineyards and wineries was incredibly informative — I learned so much about the winemaking process and the history of the region. The hosts were knowledgeable and welcoming, making the whole day both educational and enjoyable.One of the best parts was the convenient pick-up and drop-off from Los Angeles — it made the whole trip stress-free and easy. No need to worry about driving or logistics, just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and amazing wines.Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a mix of relaxation, learning, and great California wine!

Always a Great Experience
I did a surfing lesson with Noah. He was great. Very patient, knowledgeable, clear, and fun! He also gave me good tips on boards, suits, how to learn about surfing conditions, and other pro tips. I can't say about enough about the Santa Barbara Surf School. Each of the lessons I've had with them have been great. Will come back again soon!

A Remarkable Scavenger Hunt: Ace Ventura919kathleeno, Oct 2024
So much to see!
I can't put my finger on the actual element that I enjoyed so much, but all I can say I'm going back to Ventura, CA. Our short trip was great! We did the Scavenger Hunt and was so much fun, albeit towards the end it got a little long. There were 24 items to cover, but overall it really was great. Glad I had the chance to explore on foot. It's so different when you actualy see and do the old fashioned way.

Surfing Lesson in Santa Barbara (4 Hours)Vincent_B, Jul 2024
Great instruction and class
Brian was our instructor and he was fantastic. His laid back and easy to follow teaching style was perfect for us. We would highly recommend him and wish him the best in his future endeavors.The whole experience was memorable. The appointment started on time and Brian had us in the water in 1/2 an hour. He guided us through the basics and encouraged us every wave. Though we didn't get up much, every attempt left us smiling. My wife had been wanting to learn to surf for years and the lesson definitely fulfilled that wish.Thanks again for the class and the memories!

1-on-1 Private Surf Lesson in Santa BarbaraSayJho, Aug 2020
Wonderful surf lessons
My 2 kids and I had a private lesson with Tyler from Lovewater Surf School for a few days while we were visiting Santa Barbara. Tyler is an awesome instructor and was extremely patient. We had a really fun time while learning how to surf! The booking process was seamless - I had various questions and the owner took the time to explain the information to me. Highly recommend!
