    The employees were extremely helpful and friendly. The bikes were amazing. I would highly recommend the e-bikes. There are so many amazing bike paths. I would recommend biking along a path that is next to the beach. You have to be 5 feet tall to drive an e-bike but they have e-bikes that have a back seat for anyone who cannot drive an e-bike.

    My wife and I had an amazing time with Cal Coast Adventures. Colin was our guide, he took the time to explain how to operate the electrical bike to my wife and didn't leave until she was happy and confident with the controls. We headed down a few roads and on to the beach, well that was fantastic. Zipping along the beach with the wind in our hair. After a long ride on the beach we went on to the road for a tour of down town, state Street, funk zone and around the court buildings before returning to their base. We loved it and would recommend it to any one. Def do this with these guys while you are in Santa Barbara.

    I have rented bikes all over the country and this is easily the best I’ve been to. Incredibly accommodating, and beyond friendly. Every single person I had contact with was like I was talking to my best friend. The bike was pristine and worked perfectly on a ride up and down the mountains. 5 stars isn’t enough.

    We are novice riders and we wanted my 6 year old to be able to ride as well. The employee was so helpful to make sure we got the right bikes for us. We had a blast and this location is the perfect distance to the beach. We were able to easily navigate right to the beach bike path. The electric bikes are so much fun. My daughter was scared at first be she had so much fun.

    Had an absolutely fantastic tour with Andrei. He took our group through Santa Barbara and Montecito, showed us the sites, and really went out of his way to ensure we were safe and got everything out of our tour. He was so kind and funny and knew a good bit of history to share with us! Perfect afternoon.

    Check-in was easy and since we came prepared - we were in the water in only a few minutes. Our guide, Lindsey did a solid job explaining a ton of the area's history and marine life. I would book any of their trips but the Sunset on sounds especially nice.

    Cal coast adventures couldn’t have been a better pick for our adventurous group while on a work retreat. A group of us went out for an amazing ride with beautiful views and lots of fun!! The bicycles are top of the line, smooth and in great condition. Connor, Brody and Davis couldn’t have been nicer. They were encouraging, patient and kind. The level of customer service from start to finish was incredible. As a planner that is something I appreciate along with great communication and these guys nailed it. I loved the ride and can’t wait to come back and do it again & explore other trails. You won’t be disappointed.

    We had the best experience!!! Our tour guide Taylor was so patient, nice and knowledgeable. We got to learn so much about Santa Barbara. We got to see as well as get pretty close to sea lions and seals on our tour. Would definitely come back!!

    Amazing tour! Charles was friendly and knowledgeable and we got to see so much of Santa Barbara! The e-bikes are easy to learn and gave us the confidence to explore more of town on them after. Thanks for the tour and all the good food recommendations! Highly recommend!

    Oh my goodness, this private bike tour was the absolute highlight of our weekend anniversary trip to Santa Barbara! The views were spectacular, and our guide, Amanda, was awesome. We were a little nervous as it was our first time riding bikes in a long time, but the ebikes were super easy to use, and powerful enough that I don't think I ever broke a sweat. We must have done somewhere around 8-10 miles (?) and it was a breeze. Amanda was super informative and very friendly, and even kept her cool when we were accosted by a random passerby on a bike for absolutely no reason. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

    We started our San Diego vacation off with a bike tour and it was perfect! Justin is a great guy and a wealth of information about the area; we learned so many things about the area’s history, local favorites and places to go back and spend time at. We’ve told everyone about the tour and highly recommend it!

    Friendly staff. Great pricing. Many bike options to choose from. Patiently walked us through the operation steps for each model. If you are someone not familiar with these bikes, don't hesitate as you'll they will help you with it. Provided the bike routes both printed and google maps route link with stops for the ride which was of great help.

    We rented 2 e-bikes for a week and were so happy how everything went. The simple bikes we chose were exactly what we needed; reliable, safe, easy-to-operate. Many bikes to chose from and these fit our needs to explore Santa Barbara for the week. The staff made the entire experience easy and low stress.

    Awesome tour with Mile-on-a-Bike. Mike is very knowledgeable of Santa Barbara history and he took us to several lovely locations on our tour such as Sterns Wharf, the Mission, State Street, and the famous Santa Barbara Court House. Ask for Mike if you want to have a great time.

    My daughter and her friend had a great surf lesson with Noah. It was their first time surfing and they both did great. Noah was fun and friendly. If we do another lesson, we will go back here.

    We took a Princess Ca Coast cruise. One stop was in Santa Barbara and the bike tour with California Coast Adventures sounded like fun. We arranged for a private tour with just the two of us and our guide Colin. Cal Coast Adventures picked us (and another couple) up at the dock. Colin gave us a great tour, geared to our abilities (we're an older couple). They provided helmets and water bottles. We rode electric assist bikes (something new for us), and Colin made sure we knew how to handle them before we started. He led us along the streets to a bike path. We would ride for a bit, and then he'd stop and tell us stories about Santa Barbara and what we were seeing. He geared the trip to our abilities (offering us options of easier or harder routes), and he made sure we were doing okay. When my husband got tired, he shortened the tour, took us back to the shop and even gave us a ride back to our ship.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a different way to see the city of Santa Barbara. Thanks Colin.
