The Holiday Harbor Cruise aboard the charming "Lil Toot" stands out as a cherished favorite among the many festive traditions that unite our community. For locals and visitors alike, this event embodies the spirit of connection, celebration, and the beauty of active living in our seaside town.
A Waterfront Wonderland of Holiday Cheer
The Lil Toot, Santa Barbara’s iconic yellow water taxi, transforms into a floating holiday haven during the season. Decked out in festive decorations, it invites passengers to experience the magic of the season from a unique vantage point—the sparkling waters of our harbor. Gliding along the coastline, you’re treated to panoramic views of Santa Barbara’s twinkling waterfront, with lights dancing on the waves and a cool ocean breeze carrying the scent of salt and pine.
The knowledgeable and friendly crew aboard Lil Toot go the extra mile to make every cruise special. They share fascinating tidbits about local history and marine life while sprinkling in plenty of holiday cheer. Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the area, this cruise offers a fresh perspective on the town we all love.
