Santa Rosa Island:

A Santa Rosa Island day trip takes you to this northern outer island. This northern location is subject to high winds year-round. Getting to the island can be challenging if sea conditions are less than perfect. Passengers should be prepared for the possibility of a bumpy boat ride. Santa Rosa Island day trip crossing can take 2-3 hours depending on the route we take and the sea conditions. Santa Rosa Island includes a stop to visit the Painted Cave (located on the West end of Santa Cruz Island) on the way home from Santa Rosa Island back to Ventura Harbor.

Prisoners Island with Painted Cave:

The channel crossing for a Prisoner’s Harbor day trip is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on vessel route and possible stops at Scorpion Anchorage. Prisoners Harbor is located midway along the North shore of Santa Cruz Island. The harbor area is the border of the National Park and The Nature Conservancy Properties. Prisoner’s Harbor offers hiking trail options from short, level-ground walks, to truly strenuous hikes. A guided trek by an Island Packer naturalist is offered on most day trips. These hikes often travel the scenic, 4-mile trail from Prisoner’s Harbor towards Pelican Bay. There is no charge for naturalist-led hikes: Prisoner’s Harbor is a landing on Santa Cruz Island. Trips to Prisoner’s Harbor include the option to visit the Painted Cave, on select days.
