santa cruz island印象

Santa Cruz Island is gorgeous! The islands remain pristine. Winter is migration season for the gray whales, and there were plenty to see. The island is also home to some species that exist nowhere else. The island scrub jay can only be found on the island. The island fox is also unique to the islands, with each island having its own subspecies. The trip over by Island Packers is relaxing and scenic. They also offer hikes to parts of the island that are usually closed to the public.

What a great way to spend the day - whale & dolphin watching, walking the trails, spying the pygmy fox. If I were to go again, I would avoid going on a weekend, there were a few rent-a-mob types there, en mass, travelling in the proverbial pack, making a lot of noise and that bit was not conducive to the nature experience (in my opinion). But if you walk fast (in the opposite direction, preferably!) you should be able to enjoy the tranquility that is so lovely there. Take a picnic (pack in, pack out, don't leave scrap of anything that wildlife may accidentally ingest) and take in all that lovely - quite spare - beautiful coastline & the paths that circumnavigate the perimeter.

We took Island Packers to Santa Cruz Island, Scorpion landing. Either spend the day on the island on a sea cave kayak tour (use Channel Island Outfitters) or hike to the top of the bluffs for great views of the ocean or stay and camp there for a night. We took a guided hike with a naturalist who came over on the Island Packers boat. You can do some snorkeling; the water is very clear. The island is beautiful with green grass covering it in the winter; I bet all of that turns brown later in the year.

Great day trip with the Island Packers cruise. We were very lucky to encounter humpback whales both on the way to the island and coming back (October 31). The boat crew made a detour and allowed 15-20 minutes for us to admire the whales while providing some useful information. While on the island we did the classic Cavern Point loop trail which is a must, accompanied by a park volunteer.I'm told that doing a guided kayak tour is a must to. Maybe next time..

Pure nature just a short one hour boat ride away. Lots of hiking trails and picturesque views. This was the first time I went when I wasn't scuba diving and it really blew me away. Really felt like we were away from civilization, very relaxing. Almost no amenities outside of composting toilets so bring a pack with food and water. Island Packers has very nice and clean boats to get you there.

We took Island Packers out of Ventura to visit Santa Cruz Island. On the way over to the island we saw California Grey Whales and Pacific Grey Whales (though I couldn't tell the difference). We followed them for a bit and watched them coming up for air. On the island we saw lots of birds and many foxes. We hiked over to Potato Harbor which was beautiful. On the way back to Ventura we saw two pods of dolphin and that was amazing! We also saw sea lions playing in the water. The boat crew was very knowledgeable about the marine life and narrated during our encounters with the wildlife during our one-hour crossings. A few things to remember: it's chilly in the morning aboard the boat so wear layers. There are unlocking "lockers" on the island that you can use to put overcoats and stuff you think you won't need. Also, you need to bring lots of food and water. There is NOTHING to buy on the island. You pack everything you'll need, and pack out your trash, too. Wear comfortable shoes. The ground is uneven.

Went on a Tuesday and the boat was packed with people. The boat ride to the island takes an hour so prepare yourself if you are prone to sea sickness. Also you must ring back everything you take, so take trash bags if you plan on eating a lot. And bring plenty of water, especially if it is going to be warm. Check the weather. If you plan on hiking and doing the kayak try to get things started early. Apparently the winds change direction and you are advised to kayak certain parts at certain time. The cave point hike was awesome. It is basically a trail along the bluff. With clear blue skies and cool strong pacific wind, the hike was fantastic.

This day trip to Santa Cruz Island exceeded all expectations. The boat ride with pretty, with hundreds of dolphins swimming around the boat. The trails on the island were numerous and worked well for several hours of hiking. The views were stunning. Next time I'm out in CA I'll do another trip to Anacapa Island.
