Leave Los Angeles for a private Channel Islands day tour, with a scenic ferry ride and time to hike, kayak, or relax by the coast.

About this tour

Escape Los Angeles for a private day exploring the wild landscapes of Channel Islands National Park. Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to Ventura Harbor, then board a ferry across the Santa Barbara Channel, where dolphins and sea lions may appear alongside the boat. The island destination is decided one day before your tour.

Once ashore, take in rugged cliffs and clear coastal waters at your own pace. Shape the day around your interests: hike scenic trails, kayak through volcanic sea caves, or unwind on a secluded beach. Private transportation, an expert guide, and bottled water help make the journey comfortable, while the ferry ride offers a memorable start to your island adventure. Food and drinks are not included.

Discover the natural beauty of Channel Islands National Park on a Los Angeles day tour designed for a personal, flexible outing. Choose your preferred way to explore and enjoy a refreshing change of scenery beyond the city.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 49% in Los Angeles means it ranks in the top 49% of tours in Los Angeles by this score.
