Wild California Escape: Channel Islands National Park

Skip to


Discover a hidden wild side of a well-known region. Just off the coast of California, one of the lesser-known U.S. national parks beckons, with dramatic sea cliffs, grassy headlands, and rocky islets. Dayboats can take you to individual islands to hike or camp, but our small ships provide a mobile base camp from which to actively explore the full natural splendor of this unique archipelago.

Highlights

Anacapa Island off the coast of California. A marine sanctuary and part of the Channel Island National Park, USA
  • Discover the islands by walking miles of trails, paddling crystal-clear waters by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or exploring by Zodiac

  • Hike in a Torrey pine grove, one of only two on Earth, and enjoy a picnic lunch with sweeping views of the natural harbor

  • Watch for iconic animals such as the American bison, bald eagles, and the Channel Island fox

  • Delve into the natural wonders and curious history of Catalina Island, including a visit to Avalon—a haven for movie stars in Hollywood's golden era
