INSPIRATION GUIDE

M

y favorite part of a Ventura sunset is the purple
silhouette of the Channel Islands on the horizon. It
adds a layer of mystique below the glassy oranges and
yellows, a bit of depth that reminds you there's more out there.
"More" is an understatement - what's out there is a
breathtaking natural treasure, a wild and wondrous place
where you can find serenity and respite and also spectacular
adventure. I'd heard of Channel Islands National Park & Marine
Sanctuary, often called "the Galápagos of North America"
for its diverse array of native plants and animals. But I'd
never been. Turns out, an easy Ventura day trip can take
one a world away.
I decided to embark on a manageable day of activity:
sea kayaking and hiking on Santa Cruz Island. The island is
the largest in California and the closest to Ventura Harbor,
boasting 77 miles of coastline and the highest density of sea
caves in the world. While I'm no kayak pro, I was tempted by
the thought of paddling through brilliant blue water to ancient
caverns with walls in a kaleidoscope of colors. I booked a halfday guided kayak tour with Channel Islands Adventure Co.,
which amplified my excitement. "Kayaking through the sea
caves is just an incomparable activity," says company president
Michael Cohen. "It is a geologic wonder that you can kayak
underneath a national park."
