This rail escape to Santa Barbara begins aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we travel from our departure points to downtown Los Angeles’ historic Union Station where we’ll board Amtrak’s Coast Starlight train. Enjoy a relaxing, 3-hour train ride in your reclining seat or check out the view from the observation car featuring windows that stretch up to the ceiling offering expansive views. Once we pass Oxnard we’ll travel along California’s spectacular coastline with unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch onboard, along with a snack bar selling snacks and drinks. This afternoon we’ll arrive in Santa Barbara, the sun-kissed coastal paradise known as “The American Riviera.” We’ll reboard our motorcoach and travel the short distance to Santa Barbara City College to experience the annual Santa Barbara Lavender Festival held at the campus’ Great Meadow. Enjoy time at leisure soaking up the soothing aroma of lavender, live music and ocean views at this festival that celebrates lavender and lavender themes with local artisans, lavender farmers and vendors in attendance. The knowledgeable growers provide talks on growing lavender while vendors sell lavender plants, fresh lavender bouquets and a variety of lavender products. We’ll top off this memorable day with an included ice cream treat from a locals’ favorite before we motorcoach home. Each guest should bring a driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification to show Amtrak on the day of the tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, should the Coast Starlight train be severely delayed or canceled by Amtrak, an Amtrak Surfliner train will be substituted, or each guest will be refunded the train portion.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
