What a pleasant experience! Beautiful weather and the tour guides were so kind and helpful. The petting zoo was so cute and fun. Be aware that lunch is not included, there is a “lunch break” so you can bring a sack lunch or snacks and enjoy it there. If you want to pet the animals it is an additional $4/person. Overall a fantastic experience would love to do again and highly recommend! If you get tired you do have a battery operated engine so you can rest and just enjoy the ride!

Great family activity if you are in or around Santa Barbara. We especially loved the stop at the farm and got some fresh produce.

Pablo was the best! We we're only the two of us, he really motivated and guided us good. Now we have the basics of surfing down.

Beau is a great surfing instructor. He not only taught us about surfing, he taught us about life! 10/10, would recommend.

Beau was simply superb, patient, helpful, great relationship skills and it was a morning to remember because of him!!
