Island Packers
Experiences
Island Packers, a family-run business since 1968, is the official boat concessionaire to the Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
Four boats run daily trips to the closest islands, Anacapa and Santa Cruz, and to the outer islands, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara, from early spring to November. Depending on the time of year, trips can view migratory grey whales, humpbacks, blue whales, and fin whales.
