Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Santa Cruz Island is part of the Channel Islands off our Southern California Coast. Santa Cruz is a group of eight islands, five of them are part of the Channel Islands National Park. Come along on our 26ish hour adventure of kayaking through amazing caves with our awesome guides Craig and Sarah, going on a hike with Ranger Spencer to watch the sunset and camping with the island foxes. The camp ground is beautiful but you’ll need to bring everything with you for camping. There are no stores, or even camp hosts if you forgot something.
Sites used to plan our trip.
1. Island Packers is the boat across the channel (islandpackers....)
2. Island Kayaking company (www.islandkaya...)
3. Camping site from www.recreation...

I've had the channel islands on my list since we moved here! Gotta get over there for sure
If you can’t get a camp site, you can always go for a day/ but hanging out with the island foxes in the camp ground was pretty fun.😄
Never turn your back on the ocean, how beautiful to see the birds so close...while kayaking
Ester Palma the pelicans are so graceful, and prehistoric- love watching them fly in formation. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video and helpful!
Thanks! So glad you found it helpful. It's such a wonderful experience.
Great job highlighting what looks to be an incredible place to visit! Thank you!
Great place to go and just enjoy nature love it.
Have you been? If not, you need to plan a trip!
A great adventure when staying in SilverStrand!
This looks AWESOME! I want to go camping there now.
Love it!
That looked super fun and worth the planning.
So cool!
Sweet
Cool video! We liveaboard in Ventura, sailing the channel islands while preparing to sail the world. It's nice to see familiar scenery in videos! :) stay safe out there.
thanks so much. That's a beautiful place to prepare for your adventure. I'm heading back over to the island this week to backpack. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure. I want to plan a trip like this for me and my wife. We actually only live 25 minutes away from Santa Cruz!
It’s a must do! Get it on the books - even the crossing is spectacular. We’re planning on going back next year. Thanks so much for watching. 😊
Looks awesome! I'm adding this to my list for the next time I'm in Cali
Love all of the footage and that cave scene looked intense lol
Thanks! Seriously a heart racing moment! at one point we were turning around we were parallel with the wave and I was thinking this is going to end badly... and paddle as fast as I could... PHEW -
Adventure Muse PADDLE PADDLE PADDLE !!! Well I’m glad you made it out alive :)
Very cool, it looks so beautiful! I'd love to go there.
My hub and I went years ago just for the day and kayaked...but staying over is pretty incredible.
Wow. We kayaked this in December. In a crazy rainstorm. Why is a whole other story. We said we wanted to come back when it was nicer and now I see why.
AHHH! this was what you mentioned when we were talking about traveling last week at the Creators Unplugged event! Cant wait to check out this vlog :D
I was still in the middle of this edit that night. Such an amazing place.
@@AdventureMuse yes! talk about dedication! I think i just knocked out when I got home LOL - was so pooped.
Another great adventure!! Awesome video @Adventure Muse!! Beautiful. I gotta get out there. Haven't been yet. The rules seem pretty easy to follow, LOL!
I did ask if all of these these have happened.... Yup, falls, rocks, fires and accidentally feeding the foxes that are a mix between a squirrel and a cat.
Great video! We are headed out next week to camp and explore. How did you keep your filming tech charged? Thank you for sharing.
You’ll have a blast. One of my favorite Channel Islands. I use a solar charger.

This is a great video! Great Editing, scene Lengths were perfect. I did not get bored or have to fast forward. I'm going over next week with my oldest daughter for 3 days. How did the bathrooms look? Any showers and or sinks to rinse dishes? Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words! The bathrooms are pit toilets, but clean, and stock with TP. They didn't seem bad to me. No showers, but there is running water in the campground, so if you have a solar shower, you could bring that. No sink for dishes - think of it as backcountry camping. you want to leave as little food residue behind as possible. The foxes and ravens are smart and will steal your food and can open zippers! Hope that helps and enjoy! It's a magical place.
Gorgeous!! What do you do with the kayaks when you want to hike/camp? Is there somewhere to dock them?
The kayaks are on the beach. We didn't bring our own, we rented them with the tour company.
So for over night camping, what should one bring?
Great question. I'd pack light since you have to carry everything to your site. It's a flat hike, but depending where your site is, you might have a way to go. Think of it as a mini backpacking trip and what you need. Tent/mat/bag/food/stove if you want to cook. there is water that you can drink, I thought it tasted fine. pack out what you bring in. You are roughing it. Hope that helps.
AdventureMuse was the over night peaceful? How was the sky at night?
Did you find pull wagon to bring? A handcart looking thing? That was smart.
