The World Famous Boat Party - $35
Every Thursday in July and August we will be throwing the best party in town. The check-in begins at the Sea Landing at 6:30. After some great Dominos pizza (included) enjoy a Santa Barbara sunset with the Santa Ynez mountains as the backdrop. Sometimes we are joined by curious dolphins! The DJ will keep turning up the energy of the music as the sunset gives ways to stars on the water. The party goes till 9:30 pm.
The Boat holds 120 people and tickets can sell out fast so it is recommended to buy your tickets well in advance.

Lizard's Mouth Fun Tour - $10
High above Santa Barbara with sweeping views of the ocean, the islands and the city below, there is a rock formation that looks a lot like the mouth of a lizard. This has become a favorite 'Fun Tour' and many Santa Barbara students have enjoyed the rock gardens and wind caves of this ridge line. Please remember to bring a sweater or jacket. At 908 meters, it can be cooler than at beach elevation especially if there is some wind.
If we get a big group, we will go up in a Jump on the School Bus Party Bus, so bring your music!
