Our final day of this wild escape was spent within the National Park. With a break in the weather, we were able to land on two different islands.
This morning was spent at Anacapa Island, the only island in the Channel Islands that has kept its original Chumash name, meaning “mirage”. We spent the morning choosing between Zodiac cruising around the island to check out the landscape or hiking ashore to see the seabirds up close.
Santa Cruz Island, the largest of the Channel Islands, was a great place to spend the afternoon. Once again, we had options to both hike and Zodiac cruise. We spotted foxes, the endemic jay, and had a great end to a great trip exploring California’s Channel Islands!
