SANTA BARBARA EXPERIENCES
Have Fun in the California Sun
Life’s an adventure at Riviera Beach House. We’ve partnered with our favorite local businesses to offer a curated series selection of elevated experiences that capture the endless summer vibe of Santa Barbara. From sailing and surfing to horseback rides and day trips, your California adventure awaits.
Horseback Riding
Experience the breathtaking scenery of Santa Barbara on an unforgettable 1.5 hour guided horseback ride from the backcountry to the beach. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a private ride on a pristine California beach in Summerland, only a 15-minute drive from the hotel! Enquire with our front desk agents, who would be more than happy to arrange this for you.
*Subject to availability and three (3) days advance notice is required.
Mountain Jeep Tour
Climb aboard a custom, canopy-covered Jeep for an exclusive tour through the backcountry of beautiful Santa Barbara. After being picked up at the hotel, you will travel from the valley floor into the breathtaking Santa Ynez Mountains and along portions of the Old Stagecoach Route. This 3-hour tour (4 hours if you decide to do it with lunch) includes a walk to the top of “Lizard’s Mouth” for a bird’s eye view of the Central Coast, a stop at “Painted Caves” which offers a close-up look at some ancient Chumash cave paintings that are more than over 350 years old, and a visit to the rustic, Cold Springs Tavern for a beverage or delicious, sit-down lunch (Tuesday & Wednesday excluded). Enquire with our front desk agents, who would be more than happy to book this for you.
*Subject to availability and three (3) days advance notice is required.
