The five islands and surrounding waters that comprise the Channel Islands National Park and the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary offer a unique and rich nature experience throughout the year.
Trips to the outer islands, Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa and San Miguel, are scheduled when ocean conditions on the outer waters are likely to be optimal for traveling.
Island Packers lands at Anacapa Island’s Landing Cove, and two destinations on Santa Cruz Island, Scorpion Anchorage and Prisoners’ Harbor, year round.
