Awful. We specifically booked an 8 person passenger Van, only to have an SUV show up (45 minutes late). We had to put 2 of us in the front, which I am not even sure is legal. The driver was certainly nice enough, but did nothing to help us try to get the van we ordered, so we had to... More

Captain Jack's Tours believes that “the customer is always right”. We can learn more from 1 tour that goes wrong than 10 tours that go perfect. We will learn from this tour & be better for it. You can see the evidence of this by looking at how many 5 star reviews we have had since our last poor star... More

We decided to kick off our New Year's Eve with a wine tasting tour of Santa Barbara's local tasting rooms. We opted for the $50 wine tour ($10 per person gratuity is added to this price as well) provided by Captain Jack's. They come and pick you up at your hotel and drop you off there after the tour ends.... More

My husband and I selected Captain Jack initially because of the huge selection they had for tours and I really enjoyed the detailed description they have on their website. We had never done an adventure tour before and this was the best decision we could have made. The tour was Heavon on Earth Kayak & Horseback Riding and we had... More

I took the Santa Ynez wine tour today and I usually don't write reviews, but I just had to. Our tour guide Jens(he's from Germany so it's pronounced Yenz) was an AMAZING tour guide! He was so knowledgable about Santa Barbara's history, activities for the rest of our trip, restuarants, and most importantly he knew more about wine than anyone... More

The guided "Sideways" tour was so much fun. Not only did we taste great wine, we learned a lot about the area and about wine. It is the perfect "girls weekend" activity. More

It was well-organized and took us to four different wineries we never would have discovered on our own. We did the group trip and we rode around in a van. More

We saw lots of dolphins, and humpback whales on our trip. One humpback stayed and entertained us for nearly an hour, right near the boat! We finally had to leave, before the whale was done performing. Good value. More
