Joel and Cooper, thanks for the great ride yesterday (03-31-2025) through the channel! You were the friendliest crew. The whales decided to take a day off, but sea lions and bottlenose dolphins swimming near and around the Sunfish was priceless! Choppy waters, Joel, you maneuvered with ease. It was a fun morning! I look forward to another chance to see the gray and humpback whales! Thank you for being the best crew! I hope to join you again! Book with Channel Islands Expeditions! I can't wait to experience one of your other adventure options. read more

Smooth training on how to do the work and easy layout on the boat. Food was delicious and accommodating. I would reccomend this experience to those who are fascinated with the unusual, wildlife or history. The team/crew also had good communication between themselves or the passengers. read more

Absolutely do it! Book with them! My husband and I had an incredible experience, we booked the Adventure Cove on July 22nd for our 10 year anniversary. The entire journey was awesome, starting with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. When you arrive for check in you wait at the top of the deck and then you're met with a staff member. You're offered a wet suit (included), and boarded onto the boat, Vision. As we boarded the boat, we all gathered in the salon (dining room) for a safety briefing, rules review and last call to purchase medication for motion sickness or alcohol from the store on the dock. On the boat they offer breakfast options at very reasonable prices, and we enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito, each around $6-$8. The boat itself was quite spacious, with a deck to enjoy views, salon, bunker and even an opportunity to visit the controller room. On the way to the island, we seen dolphins and whales, the captain announced the sightings to give everyone a chance to see. Upon arriving at the island, we seen a stunning view of the cave, the captain took the boat close enough to get a good view. After, we geared up for kayaking, had a safety talk and given life vests and helmets. You can leave belongings in the salon or bunker. Our kayak instructor, Dan "Dirty Dan," was fantastic! His experience and knowledge made the kayak trip even more enjoyable. I was a bit nervous and he was understanding, very reassuring and stayed close by. We explored two caves, amazing views and our instructor let us sit inside for a few minutes listening to the calming sounds. After the cave kayaking, we kayaked back to the boat for lunch. We had a taco buffet with options like Al pastor, chicken, rice, beans, and various toppings. It was absolutely delicious! After we had the opportunity to go snorkeling but My husband and I chose to swim at the back of the boat with a few other people instead, and the crew was very accommodating. The team also prepared fresh scallops and cookies for everyone. On our way back, I took a power nap in the bunkers, listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. We saw more whales and dolphins during our way back and the captain shares fun facts. When we arrived back, the weather was sunny, and the crew thanked us for coming on the trip. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking a fantastic time. Initially, we were considering Island Packers and a cave kayak tour on the island, but I'm extremely glad we chose this one instead. With them, we had an unforgettable experience without the worry of being stuck on the island for hours waiting for the ferry. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity! One last note there are flies on the island/boat so bring repellent and don't forget your sunscreen! read more

My wife and I did a trip for our 1 year anniversary and it was INCREDIBLE. We did the sea cave kayaking on Anacapa. We got to see dolphins coasting along our boats bow, kayaked through all sorts of caves and kelp forests, and even snorkeled with sea lions! The island of Anacapa is beautiful, full of wildlife and very remote/isolated. The staff were friendly, supportive, and clearly knew their stuff! They made us feel safe and had so much knowledge and insight. We would absolutely go on a trip again with Channel Islands Expeditions and likely will again! read more

We tried channel Islands expeditions for the first time today out of Oxnard. Garret was our captain and it was an amazing trip. We first saw sharks eating on a dolphin that had passed away. Then we saw bottlenose dolphins, we saw common dolphins and then we saw the ocean boil with so many dolphins and then right behind them.....humpback whales. It was spectacular. Garret is knowledgeable, professional, warm, but what makes this company so wonderful to go out with is their boats are not overcrowded. While out on the water today, we saw some other boats that just had people on top of each other but Channel island Expeditions has smaller more intimate boats and super comfortable. read more

Channel Islands Expeditions has a top notch kayak trip experience. As a native, I had never made it to the islands just a few miles of the coast of my hometown; Craig our guide and Alex the captain made sure we had a memorable experience. We kayaked the northern tip of Anacapa which is closed most of the year into sea caves and along the island. We snorkeled, saw humpback whales, a megapod of dolphins (Santa Barbara's specialty), and many other species of the local marine life. Topped off with incredible views and hospitality with a crew that truly loves their jobs. I always felt safe even when managing the swell that day in the open water. Craig was very knowledgeable and helpful through the day. Thanks so much! read more

We (2 adults) had a great experience on the 2-day/1-night tour ("Epic Overnight Painted Cave Kayak, Snorkel, and Dive") with Channel Islands Expeditions in mid-September. We didn't go onto the islands for this tour; all activities (kayaking, snorkeling, or diving) were done in the waters around the islands visited (Santa Cruz and Anacapa). The crew (John, Randy, Beth, Jake, Savannah, Max, and Bryson) were wonderful. When they were actively working, they were professional and communicated clearly, and when they weren't actively working, they were friendly and happy to chat individually. They were eager to share their knowledge and experience in the Channel Islands. The boat itself was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for the 20+ people in our group. The vessel, Truth, had three levels: the upper level with the sun deck and captain's cabin, the main level with the dining room, open deck areas, two bathrooms, and rinse station; and the lower level with the lazarette (with a washer and dryer, two showers, and wetsuit storage), sleeping area, and ship equipment room. In the sleeping area, the wider beds (berths) were on the hull-side and the smaller ones were in the center. All beds had a privacy curtain and a light. The pillow and blanket provided were fine, though many people opted to bring additional bedding. Everyone was friendly and respectful. The food and beverages were plentiful and excellent. We snorkeled in two locations, one a deeper area with a kelp forest and the other a shallow area with rock formations, both of which were very cool in their own way. The water temperatures were in the high 60s / low 70s, so I was glad to have the overall-style sleeveless wetsuits they gave everyone, though I would recommend a full wetsuit if you want to stay warmer. We kayaked once per day (twice total), and the kayaks were open-top single or tandem kayaks. The first day was very challenging due to the choppy waters. Thankfully, the second day was much calmer, so the kayaking was much easier. We saw lots of wildlife, including sea lions, seals, dolphins, gulls, pelicans, and cormorants. read more

Amazing! So happy I went with this company. You can bring coolers on board & dry bags with snacks are allowed on the kayaks, & take a ball cap for helmet. Dan was our guide Super friendly, very patient, all staff was great. Went on a Thursday, the experience was more intimate, because all the caves were empty, & our group was only 5 visitors. read more

I had an epic day with my son in late July 2020. Our guide Phil was a UCSB grad, marine biologist who was in area, as his normal guiding in Antarctica was limited due to Covid. The boat staff was knowledgeable, friendly and worked hard to make our day both enjoyable and safe. Only 8 people on a boat that can hold 30-40 and they were very Covid compliant. Masks in the boat at all times (except lunch - bring your own food) and outdoor seating but could take off masks in the double kayaks. Really easy and felt safe and compliant. 10 out of 10 and I'm a tough critic. read more

We drove about 2 hours from Irvine, CA to reach the harbor in Oxnard, CA. We were all prone to sea sickness (highly recommend asking your doctor for that motion sickness patch). We did not see dolphins or anything particularly crazy. The trip can be on the expensive side at about $300 per person, including tip). It was the BEST kayaking experiencing of my life. The boat was loud and if you don't like the smell of marine diesel, you're gonna want to sit near the front. And if you don't like waves and sea travel, then ...I have a lot of other questions for you. But if you can tolerate about an hour and a half of being on a boat, then you're going to be in for a treat. Visiting the Channel Islands is like going to California's version of the Galapagos. It's nearly untouched and it's a nature preserve (being a National Park). So there's a lot of wildlife and limited people. I recommend going in October since it's no longer super hot and apparently we went on a 'perfect day' according to the crew. We briefly saw a Blue Whale en route and it was spectacular. I go kayaking several times a season and a lot of the kayak rental places are very hit or miss. The crew at Wild Blue REALLY care about your comfort. They swapped kayaks for me to make sure that I had a good time on the water. That is a HUGE deal, especially if you're going to be on a kayak for several hours going through caves and such. If you are afraid of the ocean and tight spaces, going ocean kayaking and weaving in and out of sea waves is going to be a bad time. But if you love adventure and you are a capable swimmer, there's almost no chance of dying because everyone has a life vest plus you're on a kayak. I strongly recommend bringing a GoPro AND practice mounting / framing it. It's useless if everything is out of frame or you don't have the right mount. I used a shoulder / backpack mount and I was able to strap it on the chest of my life vest. Awesome footage with awesome people. Garret, Mark and everyone aboard the Sun Fish made this a once in a lifetime trip. read more

The public should also know that I belong to a dive club of 22 members that have paid for over $400,000 in dive trips since the club began. I personally have been going on Lobster dive trips on the TRUTH for the past 10 years and have generously tipped the crew over $3000. This is the first time I've had to deal with such an unjust decision decision by the boatowners I do want to apologize for my unprofessional conduct following the loss of my Scubajet. That's not the way I want to be remembered. I hope the boat owners crewmembers, and my Dive club members will give me a chance to redeem myself next year, The public needs to know what they are up against and what happened to me. I am burdened by a crewmember that lost my $2300 Scubajet because she was negligent not wearing a personal flotation device. (NOTE) I am willing to pay out-of-MY-pocket for a lifejacket of any cost as my free donation to enhance the performance of the rescue diver and hopefully reduce future burden to other paying customers. That is the true fact and the boat owners do not want to acknowledge this and they do not want to compensate me in anyway It's time the TRUTH live up to its name, and acknowledge the Truth. The crewmember was negligent, not wearing a personal flotation device that would have allowed her to Maintain neutral buoyancy, and retain The expensive $2300 Scubajet and return it to the customer. The boat owners refused to accept that their crewmember was unprepared, and was not equipped to take possession of any device that would make her unable to maintain neutral buoyancy . Divers need to know if they have expensive cameras that allowing a crewmember to take possession of it is a big risk and the boat owners would just say tough luck to the divers if it's lost The public needs to know that the rescue was successful, and that the boat owners are devoid of any insight as to why the crewmember was unable to return the $2300 Scubajet to the customer. I recently viewed a video of the rescue taken by a dive club member. It clearly shows the crewmember was not wearing a personal flotation device needed to maintain neutral buoyancy and retain the Scubajet. The crewmember was compelled to release the Scubajet to obtain and maintain neutral buoyancy. In the future, customer service and loss of expensive property could be improved with the simple use of a personal flotation device by crewmembers. read more

I have been diving with the stellar crew and team at Channel Islands Expedition for several years. Their attention to detail, respect for the marine environment, safety approach, and great service is top notch. There is an adventure for anyone, whether you want to do a one day outing or a several day option. They have WiFi options for purchase and the food is yummy. Highly recommend for your diving and island exploring. Last weekend we saw a full breaching whale, several mola molas and tons of dolphins on our way to the island. Book it, you won't regret it! read more

The day started off with a cozy ride out to the islands. Garrett was our captain and navigated us comfortably to and from. Sam was our deck hand and made sure we all felt at home with some awesome food and a warm smile. Sean and Spencer were amazing guides throughout our kayak tour. They gave us knowledgeable information about the different sea life and birds in the area. My favorite part of the trip was exploring the Painted Cave. Sat in the silence of the sea water echoing throughout the cave which felt like a bass room. Therapeutic to say the least. Sea life we saw at the island included a rare sighting of Risso dolphins, some sea stars, and a sea lion. On our way back we spotted a whale, and were scoping out to hopefully see a pack of orca's that we were notified about. Overall, one of my favorite days spent here in Santa Barbara. 10/10 would recommend to anyone :) read more

Did this with my wife and 4 of our friends. Drove up from the IE , 2 hour drive, well worth it! What a great crew! Very knowledgeable about the island and surrounding area. Going in and out of the caves was awesome, though challenging at times but that made it even more enjoyable. If you are considering this trip, DO IT! We WILL do it again. read more

We had an amazing adventure on a safe, secure trip with great guides who were highly experienced, friendly, and helpful. We experienced caves, canal challenges, and an easy kayaks tour that lasted 3+ hours. They give you the opportunity to try challenges but give zero pressure for those who just want to chill. We did it all and none of it was dangerous. We have kayaked 1-2 times previously on a lake, so even as novices this is enjoyable and doable. Jordan and Johnny were great guides!! As a BONUS we got into a few pods of dolphins on the ride back to mainland, and this put the trip from Outstanding to simply amazing. #iwillgoagain! read more

Channel Islands Expeditions - Kayaking on Anacapa! - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I wanted to kayak the caves of Channel Islands, but I didn't like how other companies required you to organize your own transportation to the island first and then meet up with the kayaking company. Wild Blue is an all-in-one package! You meet them at the port in Oxnard, and you're in their hands from 8AM to 4PM. The experience itself was amazing! I signed up for cave tours and I got cave tours! We kayaked all the way from the east end of Anacapa Island to the west end, exploring at a minimum 5 caves (with the option of more if you're daring enough). And the caves all were special in their own way. Spoiler alert if you want to be surprised, but some of the caves had a lobster bed, a turquoise pool, or a tiny tunnel of light guiding you through! My guide Mark was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I felt safe the entire time, and never once did I feel like I was about to fall off my kayak. Plus the entire crew was hilarious, cracking jokes every minute! They've also modified their procedures for COVID as well. There was plenty of room on their boat to maintain social distancing, and everyone's temperature was checked and masks were enforced (except for during lunchtime and when you're on your kayak). Can't wait for the photos to come out! Can't recommend this experience enough! read more

Garrett, Phil and the other crew members who guided us through Anacapa were outstanding! I would definitely put this on your Summer bucket list. A great way to get fresh air, exercise and actually go through not one, but like 10 sea caves. Emerald Cave and Roller Coaster Cave were favorites. We even jumped out of our kayaks and swam through a cave. We also jumped off the landing (port) for Channel Islands National Park. We saw SO. MANY. DOLPHINS!!!! We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children ages 13 and 10. Everyone especially enjoyed eating the fresh seaweed Captain Phil found for us. Another best part was the tropical music they played during the lunch break aboard the boat. A+ guys! read more

As a Santa Barbara native, I have been staring at those islands all my life, but never quite sure how to get out there. They are rugged and need lots of planning. Then I found Channel Islands Expeditions. I started with a one-day kayaking trip to Anacapa out of Channel Island's Harbor...it was a magical day and I knew I needed more! Then I booked the "Epic Overnight"... and without a doubt it was EPIC!!! From the personalized communication in preparation for the trip from Bryson, I knew this would be a special experience for me and my daughter!!! The Islands are AMAZING! Both above water and under the sea...and, the entire staff was extraordinarily engaged in doing everything they could to make our trip memorable and comfortable!!! Chef Jake made anything we wanted to eat...from amazing meals including made-to-order eggs in the morning and vegan specialties for my daughter to walking all over the ship to share chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven--everything was made from scratch and DELICIOUS! The guides Savana, Bryson, and Max were so careful with us all making sure we were ready and prepared for our adventures off the boat, and, they were FUN! I was the only passenger who wanted to snorkel in the evening, so Bryson and Max went with me to ensure that I was safe and had a great time! Captain John was a hoot as was Randy the Second Captian. And, Beth was working all the time to be sure everything was in its place, clean and we all knew what was happening. I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I had, and I plan to go again and again!!! Thank you Channel Island Expeditions!!! read more

We had such a wonderful time kayaking the Channel Islands with Channel Islands Expeditions! The crew was fun, friendly and knowledgeable and made our day perfect. The food onboard was delicious and they even took care of my weird dietary needs. Kayaking through the island caves was so beautiful and they made it easy even for those of us kayaking for the first time. Leaving right from Santa Barbara harbor is wonderful. We can't say enough about our wonderful trip, we will definitely be reaching out when we have a chance to go again! Much thanks to Captain John, Jake and Max!! read more

Mind-blowing experience. The Anacapa tour was amazing but the Painted Cave tour is one of the most beautiful tours I've ever been on and I've been on countless tours around the world. If you're seeing this, trust me it'll be life changing! read more

We had the best day out with CIX on our trip to Painted Cave. The trip was a kayak and snorkel day trip. The crew was amazing, everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. The kayaking was so beautiful and it was cool to get into the caves and learn about them through the guides. The snorkeling was super pretty, and we enjoyed the day out at the islands! The crew was also awesome at stopping on the boat ride to seek out dolphins and whales. 10/10 recommend for a lovely day out at the islands! read more

We were a group of 4- 2 adults and 2 kids ages 10 and 12. We had an amazing day. The crew and guides Mark and Johnny were beyond fantastic. Super friendly, knowledgeable and patient!

I highly recommend to everyone - Channel Islands are a must see for locals and tourists alike! read more

Definitely recommend - Truly an amazing and unique experience. Recently I had the opportunity to join on the kayak/snorkeling trip at Anacapa Island with CIX. First of all, they have an awesome crew of knowledgeable individuals who love their job. They make sure you're comfortable and taken care of while also guiding you through a one of a kind experience. I learned so much and got to see so many beautiful things as well. The snorkeling was my favorite part - stunning orange Garibaldi (California State fish) and sea lions that come to say hello! I hope others get to experience the same that I had read more

Prices are competitive, and they were friendly. I would recommend a few things to have when you go. 1. Water 2. Lunch 3. A change of clothes 4. A jacket We went to speak with them and found they have no store front. The whole business is run from their boat. read more

Had a great time with Captain Garrett and crew!!! Nicest people that truly love what they do and want everyone to have the best time possible.

I have to say I had a great time kayaking yesterday! The caves and sea life was incredible. Johnny and Jordan were awesome guides! I surprised my husband for his birthday, and then I was sadly surprised with motion sickness :( But I have to say that Johnny and Jordan were very helpful and very PATIENT with me. I eventually had to cut my kayaking short and wait on the boat. I was very grateful that my husband was able to continue the trip on a single kayak. The whole crew was nice and helpful. My advice is to take a change of clothing and a jacket for the ride back it could get cold. Thank you Johnny and Jordan! We are telling all our friends about our wonderful experience. read more

The absolute best! Garrett and his staff made sure every single person had an amazing experience, especially JD. He had a very brave couple who did not know how to swim!!! JD gave them the confidence to relax and enjoy the ride. Their setup is seamless and the one way design traveling downwind and with the current makes it an easy trip for all levels. Highly recommend!!! #gowildblue read more

What a fun time 5 STARS!! Overall the scores breakout: boat was a 3.75, equipment 4.5 and service 5.0. Service rocks! First of all, boat driving is excellent. This is not a push the boat as hard as she will run to get you there as quickly as possible. This is a ride that conforms to the tide and swells. Making the ride smooth and consistent. Second, for those of you unfamiliar with sea life, they will spend the time to stop, pursuit and teach you about what is available throughout the journey. I'm an experienced diver so I can tell you, my family who is not familiar benefited greatly and it helped build trust in the crew. The boat is open air with a cabin for 10 inside. You will ride outside in the open air with most of their seating in the back. On arrival and for pickup, they will use their drop deck for easy on and off boarding. The tour goes in and out of 10 or so caves and advanced options for the risk takers and will traverse about most of the entire south side of the islands. Finishing with the arch. Go with confidence. Ill come back again. read more

Booked a Groupon deal to take an overseas guest kayaking. We had a great day out with the crew on a full boat. The difference between this and other tour operators is Blue Ocean do not land on the island or use a pier so you have more time in the water. They launch from the back of their vessel and it is extremely easy to get into the kayak using their launching system. You literally just sit back into the kayak to get in and lean forward and hold onto hand holds to get out, so it is very easy for the young, old and unsure! The boat is smaller than other operators so expect a decent swell - I took Dramamine - plus you really feel the swell ocean kayaking too. All kayaks are doubles, and they will pair you up with a partner if you are solo. The tour leaders are in single kayaks. Take food and plenty of water as the Channel Islands are under state park rules, so no food is allowed to be sold in the water/islands. They have a fridge onboard and plenty of space for bags. Also, take a change of clothes for the return trip so you don't sit in wet clothes, it can be chilly, wind proof jackets are a plus. Non slip water shoes are a good idea to as it can be slippy onboard, especially when the boat is rocking. Arrival time is early, but you can grab a last coffee right at the meetup site, or even have breakfast before you go from the cafe next door to the office. Public restrooms are here too and I recommend you go before getting onboard as there is only one head and one changing room on the vessel. The leaders will explain how to use a paddle and how to steer a kayak if you are a newbie, and they are there to help you every step, both in and out of the water. On our way out we encountered a decent sized pod of dolphins in a feeding frenzy with seals and seabirds all competing for the fish. The boat slowed down so we could watch and take photos. Amazing to see. Plenty of seabirds on the kayak trip, plus you will go past a few places where seals are sunning themselves in bays, one seal came out to watch us and give us a lazy wave with his flipper...lol. The water was very clear the day we visited and we could see glimpses of fish and star fish as we kayaked along. You will kayak the length of the island, visiting caves and arches, with a more strenuous stretch in the middle where you cross rougher water. It is a great trip to take. Much more to see than just pottering around harbours in a kayak which is what we usually do. Try it out, you won't be disappointed. Get a Groupon deal and you will be very happy :P read more

What a fun time we had! The boat crew is great, friendly and very knowledgeable. It is a long day out so make sure to bring enough food and drink. They will split you up in 3 groups, so if you are with a couple of people, make sure to board your kayaks together to stay together on the water. It can take a while for everyone to get in their kayaks, but the guys make sure everyone boards & de-boards safely. GJ is awesome and tells the best corny jokes!! Dress in layers and bring something to cushion your bottom, it's a long ride to the island. Would definitely recommend this to friends! Great group activity. No experience needed! read more

I went on this excursion in June, did it again this July and plan to go again in August. It is a world-class aquatic adventure and worth every penny. I live in Ventura and used to kayak Anacapa and other islands on my own. However, on both trips with Blue Ocean I saw great seascape that I had never seen before. It was a long and moderately challenging paddle for me at age 70. But the people younger than me seemed to do fine. Garrett and the crew are wonderful. They work hard to make sure everyone has a great time. read more

What an amazing day kayaking at Anacapa in the sea caves with Blue Ocean Kayaking Company. Captain Andy steered us through a mega pod of dolphins with dolphins in all directions that was breathtaking! The guides Amy and Andy were phenomenal, educated and lots of fun. Could not have asked for a more perfect day or a more perfect group to lead us. Definitely doing this again...and again..... Kelley Bannon read more

Awesome one of a kind adventure! This trip provided a safe and much needed escape from quarantine life. Boat takes you to right when your adventure begins. No need to get off the boat to find a kayak everything you need is aboard. Complete with a friendly crew and knowledge tour guide to help you learn about the island and its inhabitants. Can't recommend the cave trip enough and hope to come again! read more

Great outfit. Very professional guides, safety and COVID conscious. I went on a trip to Anacapa Island in mid-November. The cruise out was pretty quick. The wildlife on the way was excellent.
