Reviews
"We took the 1:30 wildlife cruise. Staff were extremely helpful as my husband needed a little assistance to board and exit the boat. Snacks are available for purchase and we truly enjoyed the views! Looking forward to our next trip."
"Took a day trip to Santa Cruz with the family. We had more gear than necessary but the crew was more than accommodating. I forgot my morning coffee but the galley had that covered. Great time both onboard and at the island."
"Took the boat to Anacapa Island. Boat goes really slowly. About 1.5hours to cover only 13ish miles of crossing. But it was comfortable and not too crowded. Additionally, the staff was highly professional. We did stop both directions to see animals such as dolphins and a blue whale. Also, the boat hooked around to the backside of the island on the way back in order to see Arch rock and the sea lions on the shore."
"We took the Prisoners Harbor & Painted Caves tour - what an amazing experience! They made sure to let us know what to expect and what to bring well ahead of time. The boarding process was smooth and quick considering our group was 100+ people with campers and gear. The tour took us out to the harbor, where the captain made sure to slow for any dolphin or other wild life spottings along the way. The painted cave was awesome! The colors are natural occurring reds (iron) greens (copper) and yellows (sulfur). To my surprise the boat went all the way into the cave and back! Then we took the scenic route along the island, which was beautiful. At prisoners harbor, we hiked pelican Bay trail about a 1/3 of the way to the scenic spot, and then went back for a swim in the Harbor. Overall, awesome experience. The crew was knowledgeable and helpful. One of our hikers got lost and needed to be rescued. The park ranger RAN the trail to find her based on satellite coordinates! Our ferry went to the nearest harbor and a crew member picked them up via lifeguard kayak and brought both the hiker and park ranger safely on board. They went the extra mile and took the extra time to help. Would definitely recommend!"
