THE WORLD’S MOST AMAZING ONE-WAY KAYAK TOUR
TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT ISLAND TO VISIT AND WHAT TOUR TO TAKE?
If you are looking to kayak sea caves at the Channel Islands, we highly suggest you consider Anacapa Island.
ANACAPA ISLAND W/ WILD BLUE ADVENTURES
- We launch directly from the boat onto your kayak. You can go barefoot and only get wet up to your knees.
- We paddle in one direction, downwind, through arches and into sea caves, you’ll barely notice how far we paddle.
- From Middle to East Anacapa we paddle near 50+ sea caves, many of which we can paddle into and through.
- You’ll be paddling on tide pools where you can see all of the underwater marine life busy at living.
- Less than 38 people at Anacapa Island on our tours.
-
No experience is necessary, but you MUST KNOW HOW TO SWIM. We aren’t looking for Olympic athletes, but you must be comfortable floating in the water.
-
We cover about 4-5 miles in 2.5-3 hours. We paddle down-wind and down-swell. The paddling isn’t typically very difficult but you will probably be a little tired when you get back to your car in the afternoon. This is why we recommend two-person (tandem) kayaks… it’s like twin engines! Children under 12 must kayak with an adult, and we try to avoid multiple children under 14 in the same kayak.
-
It takes us roughly 70 minutes to get to the island, depending on those pesky whale and dolphin sightings!
We highly recommend long pants and sweaters for the crossing. The Sunfish has a closed cabin, but the viewing is better outside. Dress in layers!
If you are prone to motion sickness, we suggest you take a medication 45 minutes prior to departure and avoid coffee, fatty foods that morning, and alcohol the night before.
-
Yes, but you must wait until you are done with ALL water activities.
