Creator's Key Takeaways

The good news is we did see two different pods of dolphins and that alone made the trip worthwhile.

Even though the trip didn't turn out to be what I expected, it was still an interesting adventure.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan the Wildwood Canyon loop counterclockwise for a more enjoyable hike.

YouTube Video Description

After landing in Burbank National Airport, we set out for Ventura to Channel Islands Adventure and stopped along the way to stretch our legs at Wildwood Park. Once in Ventura we thought we were going to take a scenic cruise on Island packers to Anacopa island to view wildlife and the island from the water on a slow calm ride. Instead it ended up being a fast and very rough and bumpy crossing out to Santa Cruz Island with Island Packers. The ride was intense and I got pretty seasick, but we were lucky enough to see two pods of dolphins that made the trip unforgettable. Once we arrived, we discovered we were at Scorpion Ranch instead Anacopa Island. After getting off the boat, a walk around the island helped settle everything, and we were able to enjoy the beach and scenery before heading back. Definitely not the trip we imagined—but still an unforgettable adventure. Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/paul-yudin/at-the-hotel License code: KLL6IUAPM0KQQL2M
