Imagine cruising through the ocean 🌊 and suddenly being surrounded by a pod of playful dolphins 🐬 at sunset 🌅! That’s exactly what happened during our visit to National Park #49, the Channel Islands. This park is located off the coast of Southern California and consists of five different islands 🏝️. It is often called the “Galapagos of North America” because of its isolation and biodiversity 🌿. Channel Islands was our 9th and final National Park to visit in California, and we have now visited all but two of the 51 national parks in the lower 48 states 🇺🇸! Tips for Visiting Channel Islands National Park: 1️⃣ Plan Ahead: Access to the islands is only possible via boat 🚤 or plane, so book your ferry through Island Packers Cruises early, especially during peak seasons. Round trip tickets 🎫 run between $50-$70 per person. 2️⃣ Pack for the Day: There are no food services or water sources on the islands. Bring plenty of water and snacks. 3️⃣ Choose Your Adventure: Whether it’s hiking, kayaking through the sea caves, snorkeling with marine life, or simply enjoying a picnic with ocean views, there is something for everyone. We visited Prisoner’s Harbor on Santa Cruz Island where we hiked the Pelican Bay Trail. 4️⃣ Watch for Wildlife: Keep an eye out for the famous island fox 🦊, seabirds 🦤, and marine life 🦭. The dolphins we saw were just one part of the vibrant ecosystem here. We also spotted whales 🐋 and the island fox on our adventure! 5️⃣ Practice Leave No Trace: The islands are pristine, and it’s up to us to keep them that way. Pack out everything you bring in!

Channel Island National Park Do not skip on this National Park We had the best time and even got to see orcas. 📍 Ventura or Oxnard California 💰 $70/ person round trip. Make sure to book both inbound and outbound or you will be sleeping on the island. Book through Island Packers 🏝️ Multiple islands to choose from. We did Ventura to Scorpion Cove 🍽️ Bring water and food. There is drinking water at Scorpion cove campground but no food so bring everything you need. 🤢 Take seasick medicine and sit inside the boat. We sat in the back on the way to the island. I got nauseous but the way home I was fine. It was much smoother coming back but people were still getting sick. ⚓️If you want a good seat, get in line early! 20-30 minutes prior to leaving. #channelislandsnationalpark #nationalpark #nationalparks #channelislands #travel #travelblogger #rvtravel

The little island foxes at Channel Islands National Park really don't af about humans 😆 This little dude played dead in our campsite so my friend went to get a ranger because we thought it had passed. Once my friend was gone, this little dude woke up, tried to break into our tent and then tried to eat our food 😂 When the ranger showed up with my friend and I told the ranger what happened and showed her the video, she said this is typical and the foxes do this on purpose 😆😂 #channelislands #channelislandsnationalpark #islandfox #fox #whatdoesthefoxsay #foxes #wildlife #funny #cute #camping #Hiking #backpacking #Outdoors
