WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK 🤔 🏝

Looking to travel to the Channel Islands National Park off the coast of California? These five islands are known as the Galapagos of North America for their abundant marine life and amount of endemic species of animals. The islands were never connected to the mainland so they offer pristine landscapes and the perfect opportunity for wildlife spotting and adventure lovers. However, traveling here is only accessible by boat and some of the adventures are not for the faint of heart. After traveling here half a dozen times, we are passing on our tips to enjoy this national park as well as some lesser-known observations.

Channel Islands is the best kept secret in California. My favorite island is Santa Cruz for its canyons and foliage. However it would be great to hike in Nature Conservancy Property.

Jumped off that pier on anacapa with the Leo Carillo Jr lifeguards way back in the day, then swam with hundreds of sharks. Good times.

Thanks for all the useful info about the Channel Islands. Didn’t know anything about them. Very helpful and interesting ❤

Anacapa island is a really beautiful I want to be back

[@alolkoydesigns]

Great video, thank you. I've been to Santa Cruz before and will be returning in April to camp there for the first time. My Grandfather was born on Santa Cruz

366,000 visitors per year, I think Yosemite gets that in one weekend :)

[@sarahtonin100]

Which Island Packers trips do they take you to Painted Cave? Scorpion Cove?

[@RunTheAtlas]

[@SM-ou9dh]

Thanks

[@darrinsiberia]

Do park rangers live there? I'd do park ranger academy just to try and get stationed there.

On Santa Cruz Island, UCSB has a research station and there is an on site biologist with the Channel Islands Restoration project. You need to get permission to stay there. Very rustic -- pack in your own food, tent, etc., and plan to prepare the meals yourself.

[@troygravett]

How many of the islands can be visited in one day?

[@RunTheAtlas]

The cruises go to one island in a day, but you’ll cruise by the other islands

[@calokraine5901]

Two or three at most if you rely,

[@afrozasultanakakon]
