Full Moon & Sunset Paddle
Enjoy an exclusive kayak tour guided by the full moon in Santa Barbara
Overview
Take the sunset to the next level with a moon rise over the mountains to the East. Full Moon Kayaking is a one-of-a-kind tour in California, and Paddle Sports is the only company that offers this as a guided Santa Barbara kayaking tour.
We provide you with a headlamp and kayak equipment and head out just before sunset. As the sun sets to the West, the moon rises in the East, which is a fantastic experience that cannot be missed!
Highlights
- Watch the sunset and moonrise at the same time!
- Enjoy the beautiful colors from the ocean.
- One of the best sunsets in California!
- View marine wildlife as you kayak through the harbor.
What to bring
- Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated!

We have lockers and changing rooms available. Public bathrooms are also available nearby. Paid all day parking is very close, and we have bike racks behind the shop if you are human powered all day!
