Review:
The Channel Islands are a National Park in California just south of Santa Barbara off the coast of Ventura. Made up of five islands, the park offers diving and snorkeling, sea cave exploration, wildlife viewing, hiking and camping. Each of the islands offers its unique small world, reminiscent of a wild California long past. Park visitor centers are located in both Santa Barbara and Ventura, while the islands themselves are accessible only by boat or sea plane. Advance planning is required as there are no services or fresh water on the islands. Third party concessionaires such as Channel Island Packers and the Channel Islands Adventure Company can help you plan your trip.
