This rail escape to Santa Barbara begins aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we travel from our departure points to downtown Los Angeles’ historic Union Station where we’ll board Amtrak’s premier Coast Starlight train. Enjoy a relaxing, 3-hour train ride in your reclining seat or check out the view from the Observation Car (all group seats and Observation Car seats are located on upper level with stairs required), featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unparalleled views. Once we pass Oxnard we’ll travel along California’s spectacular coastline with unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch onboard, along with additional refreshments available at the onboard snack bar. This afternoon we’ll arrive in Santa Barbara, the sun-kissed coastal paradise known as “The American Riviera.” We’ll reboard our motorcoach and travel the short distance to the annual Santa Barbara Lavender Festival, held at the scenic Great Meadow of Santa Barbara City College. Spend the afternoon at your leisure, soaking up the soothing aromas and ocean views while browsing local artisans, lavender farmers, and unique vendors. Whether you're listening to live music, attending a talk on cultivation, or shopping for fresh bouquets, essential oils or other lavender products, this festival that celebrates lavender is a sensory delight. We’ll top off this memorable day with a visit to a locals’ favorite for an included ice cream treat before we motorcoach home. Each guest should bring a driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification to present to Amtrak on the day of the tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, should the Coast Starlight train be canceled by Amtrak, an Amtrak Surfliner train may be substituted, or each guest will be refunded the train portion.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
