Downtown Santa Barbara & Included Sweet Treats
Activity Level
Activity Level 2
Escape to Santa Barbara, the sun-kissed coastal paradise known as The American Riviera. Featuring unique shops, eclectic food and distinctive architecture, downtown Santa Barbara offers palm-lined thoroughfares where you’ll be surrounded by charming boutiques and galleries, tantalizing eateries and beautiful buildings. The State Street Promenade is a pedestrian mall where multiple blocks of State Street are closed to vehicle traffic allowing restaurants and other businesses to expand onto sidewalks and into Santa Barbara’s main boulevard, infusing a sense of energy and vitality. Paseo Nuevo is Santa Barbara’s Mediterranean-style, outdoor shopping center that features a variety of name brand stores. Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the many eateries offering both indoor and outdoor dining. If you choose to not add-on one of the available optional experiences, you’ll have approximately 4 hours at leisure to relax, explore and soak up all that this sophisticated beach town has to offer. Also as part of our adventure today, we’ll stop at two locals’ favorites – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – and enjoy two included mystery sweet treats.
Optional Trolley Tour
If shopping is not your thing, take advantage of an optional Santa Barbara trolley tour this afternoon. You’ll board an historic trolley for a 90-minute, narrated driving tour of this sophisticated beach town and all that makes it so endearing. The trolley conductor will share stories and historical anecdotes as we drive past sights like Stearns Wharf, Butterfly Beach, the beautiful Mission Santa Barbara, and the elegant County Courthouse, just to name a few!
Optional Santa Barbara Zoo
Or take advantage of an optional visit to the Santa Barbara Zoo this afternoon. This 30-acre zoo with a view was once a posh estate owned by a coffee and tea merchant and is now the lush domain of over 500 animals exhibited in open, naturalistic habitats. Some of the most popular exhibits include The Australian Walkabout featuring koalas, kangaroos, emus and wallabies in a walkable habitat, The Forest's Edge housing two male Western lowland gorillas, and the Humboldt Penguin colony with penguins from the coast of South America that like it “Chile,” not chilly.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
