Day Trips from Santa Monica to Channel Islands National Park

The scenic coastal drive up Pacific Coast Highway (CA-1) and US-101 North makes a day trip to Channel Islands National Park a breeze in a private charter bus! Your driver can pick up your group near the Santa Monica Pier or Third Street Promenade and head straight to the Island Packers ferry terminal at 1691 Spinnaker Dr, Ventura, CA 93001 in Ventura Harbor. Your bus can drop passengers off right at the main harbor loading zone so nobody has to hike across overflow lots with heavy kayaking or camping gear. While you hike and explore Santa Cruz Island or Anacapa Island, your bus stages in the designated oversized vehicle spaces at the harbor parking lot. When your boat returns to the dock, your climate-controlled ride is waiting to bring everyone back to Santa Monica together!
