Amtrak Vacations
Roundtrip Santa Barbara getaway by rail from Los Angeles

Amtrak Vacations runs this 3-day, 2-night independent rail vacation between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The Pacific Surfliner carries travelers round trip in Coach class along the coast, bookending 2 nights in a Santa Barbara hotel and an included Santa Barbara Trolley Tour of the city. Amtrak Vacations describes Santa Barbara as a seaside California city where visitors can stroll the pier, spend time on the beach, or visit the historic Old Mission. The operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package, so the exact split between the rail journey and time in Santa Barbara is not detailed here. It suits travelers near Los Angeles who want a short, train-based coastal getaway rather than a longer or more heavily scheduled trip, with the trolley tour giving some structure to an otherwise self-directed stay.
