Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been here six times and every time I have a completely unique experience

the Channel Islands are a grouping of five islands off the coast of Ventura and Oxnard California

the only way to get here is via boat they do have planes but the airplanes are very expensive to get here

the boat trip on island Packers was amazing too it was really great they had beer and wine on there

✓Purchase tickets in advance for Island Packers boat trips
✓Bring sunscreen, hat, food, and water for comfort on the boat
✓If hiking, bring proper hiking shoes, gear, and a first aid kit
✓Check the website for island availability and camping reservations
✓Beginners should consider the wildlife cruise instead of hiking or camping

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

seasickness — Please come prepared for that if you are prone to seasickness.
lack of shade and amenities — Bring a hat and sunscreen; there is no shade on some islands.
