Day Trip for Two Adults to Santa Cruz Island.  

Let your Channel Island adventure begin with the experienced crew from Island Packers, providing first rate transportation services for island hiking, camping, kayaking, whale watching & sightseeing.

Santa Cruz Island is located about 20 miles from the mainland coast.
It is the largest of the Channel Islands and the most diverse with plant communities from marshes and grasslands to chaparral and pine forests. December through mid February, migrating Gray Whales can often be observed from Santa Cruz and in the summer you might catch some blue or humpback whales.  Santa Cruz Island is also ideal for kayaking and snorkling, or wonderful hikes to see the wildflowers and native grasslands.
