#1 Adventure in Santa Barbara! – Kayak/Snorkel The Channel Islands

Channel Islands Kayak Tours
Anacapa Island Trip Details

All Day, All-Inclusive Adventure

SEE DOLPHINS, WHALES, SEALS, CAVES, & MORE!

This adventure will leave from Ventura or Channel Islands Harbor depending the date of your excursion. Once booked, we'll send all the details over. This adventure takes place off the coast of Santa Barbara and will be an adventure of a lifetime!

Itinerary: The ferry leaves at 8am or 10am depending on the day. This tour operates daily in the summer and on the weekends during the off-season. The one hour channel crossing to Anacapa Island often comes with dolphin sightings, sea birds, and the occasional whale! We'll have a quick briefing on the island quickly followed by the kayaking portion of the tour. We'll kayak down to the famous arches, near or potentially through some sea tunnels depending on the surf, alongside seal rockeries, and amongst a ton of sea life! The clarity of the water out there makes for some great snorkeling, which we'll mix into the tour! This is a trip of a lifetime. Time in and around the island ranges from 4 hours up to 7.5 depending on the boat schedule for that day. For the longer tours we do have the option of hiking inspiration point; this provides a great photo op as you can see down the three island chain that makes up Anacapa. Depending on boat schedules again you'll be back to the harbor between 5 and 6:30pm.

- 1 Hour Boat Ride to Anacapa Island and back
