Acquaint yourself with Santa Barbara during this 1.5-hour fully narrated panoramic drive. From a nostalgic open-air trolley, take in views of Stearn's Wharf and its colorful shopping, dining and aquarium facilities.
Pause at the landmark Moreton Bay Fig Tree, whose canopy spans 160 feet, and travel up bustling State Street, lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques, restaurants and cafés.
Marvel at the palatial Spanish/Moorish revival Santa Barbara Courthouse -- reputedly the most beautiful government building in America. Nearby, the Spaniards built the white-washed adobe brick buildings of the Presidio military fortress to protect the mission and settlers. See the Lobero Theatre -- one of California's oldest performing arts buildings -- and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
Take photos at the majestic Santa Barbara Mission, known as the Queen of the Missions. Enjoy the beautifully restored Victorian houses of Brinkerhoff Avenue as you return to the ship.
