Celebration Cruises of Santa Barbara — Attraction in Santa Barbara

Last week, a friend and I were supposed to go on a sunset cruise; however, they had to cancel it due to mechanical reasons. They refunded me 100% and also booked another cruise for free. When we wanted to reschedule that cruise for an earlier time, they made it so easy with a simple phone call. I had left a voicemail and they returned my call quickly.

Overall, it was a pleasant enough experience, especially for those looking for a calm and relaxing way to enjoy the coastal scenery of...

I was traveling on my own and decided to spend time at Stearns Wharf. I found Celebration Cruises online and decided to get a ticket for an hour harbor cruise on the water about 4 hours before departure. This was the low key experience I was looking for.

There are seats on the bow of the boat to see the ocean and coast and watch for sea life. There is no shade, so think of sunscreen ahead of time. I did see sea lions (or seals?) and a brief sight of dolphins. The staff was friendly and served drinks which made the trip more relaxing.

An hour cruise was perfect for me. I'm not a boating person, nor do I ever see the ocean, so this was a perfect...
