Self-Guided Tours

During self-guided tours, groups are encouraged to use the treasure map activity sheets available at the Museum admission desk. These treasure maps are designed to lead students through the Museum’s exhibits with a comprehensive collection of thought-provoking questions to guide them. On completion of the treasure map, participants can select a piece of pirate loot from the Museum’s treasure chest.
Happy hunting!

Docent-Guided Tours

Docent guided tours of the museum present the richness of the Central Coast’s maritime history while increasing students’ awareness of the local fishing industry, encouraging an appreciation of the diverse marine life in the Santa Barbara Channel and stimulating an interest in the environmental issues concerning the earth’s oceans.

During the tour, docents engage students in active viewing and discussion of topics relating to the Museum’s exhibits and maritime history.
Reservations for docent guided tours must be made at least two weeks in advance of your planned visit. Tours typically require 60 minutes but can be adapted to fit needs of the group.

With all our programs and tours, the Museum strives to meet the educational goals and learning needs of your class. We will tailor your program to the age level, learning styles and curriculum connections of your group. Additionally, guided tours can be combined with a diving deeper workshop, harbor tour and/or sea song sing-a-long.
