Whale Watching Cruise
11:30 am - 2:30 pm
301 W. Cabrillo Blvd, Santa Barbara, CA 93105
We hope you'll join us for a special excursion in the Santa Barbara Channel to spot whales and dolphins. We recommend eating a nice breakfast ahead of the sail (to prevent seasickness), and we'll also have a tab open for drinks and snacks from the menu on board. Dress warm as ocean temperatures are typically 10-15 F degrees cooler than temps on land. There is an indoor seating space on the boat. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are also recommended. Parking: There is a paid parking lot directly next to where the boat is boarded.

Family, friends and empanadas are a perfect way to start the weekend in The Funk Zone, Santa Barbara’s urban winery and brewery trail. The entry is on Yanonali Street next door to Test Pilot. Parking: We recommend taking an Uber or walking to this area. If you prefer to drive, paid parking is available at the Santa Barbara Train Station (209 State Street) and it is a 3 minute walk to the venue.
