Island Packers has boat trips to and from the Channel Islands. Our boats are powered by bio-diesel fuel and are eco friendly. The islands offer lots of fun for the entire family. While visiting the islands you can hike, camp, kayak or take a guided wildlife tour. There are plenty of marine mammals on the islands. Find out the best times to see whales and marine mammals by calling our landing at Channel Islands Harbor. All guided tours are offered by independent businesses.

About Santa Rosa Island

At 84 square miles, Santa Rosa Island is the second largest of the eight Channel Islands. There are two relatively high mountains on the island; Black Mountain, 1298 ft (396 m); and Soledad Peak 1574 ft (480 m). Most of the island is covered by rolling hills. Steep and dramatic canyons, such as Lobo and Water Canyon, cut through the hills and open up to beautiful white sand beaches. Many miles of trails and roads are available for hiking exploration.

All trips returning from Santa Rosa Island stop at Painted Cave on Santa Cruz Island. If sea conditions allow, the boat will enter the cave and visitors will experience one of the world’s largest sea caves from the inside out. For many, this event is a major highlight of their day and is free of charge on Santa Rosa returns.
