Captain Jack (aka Mark Hicks) provides our most highly recommended organized all-inclusive tours in Santa Barbara. Accommodating groups of all sizes and providing outdoor tours that show off California’s central coast, these tours allow guests to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
I wasn’t aware of the myriad of activities that are available to choose from until I recently checked out the company’s website. I knew that he provided daily organized wine tasting tours, but wasn’t aware of the coastal sailboat cruises, horseback rides, kayak tours, guided hikes and glider airplane flights that visitors can sign up for.
His most popular tour is The Gaviota Coast Kayak and Hiking Tour, which starts with a scenic coastal drive, two hours of kayaking, lunch at a secluded resort, and ending with an hour and a half long hike. The options are endless and the best part about it is that you don’t have to worry about planning. Transportation, food, and activities are all provided and included.
Wine tasting tours are $50 and include all wine tasting fees and transportation. You will stop at four of the following downtown Santa Barbara wineries: Santa Barbara Winery, Summerland Winery tasting room, Carr Vineyards, Whitcraft Winery, Cellar 205, Giessinger Winery, or Sterns Wharf Vintners. You will also stop for lunch at either The Bay Cafe & Fish Market or Pierre Lafond Bistro for deliciously gourmet sandwiches and chopped salads.
You can also combine wine tasting with other activities such as kayaking, a glider ride, off roading, and horsebackriding (see detailed options at Captain Jacks Tours If you’re on vacation, let somebody else escort you around beautiful Santa Barbara.
