About Explore Channel Islands - Sunfish - Oxnard

Explore Channel Islands - Sunfish - Oxnard operates vessel-supported sea cave kayaking expeditions departing from Oxnard to Anacapa Island in Channel Islands National Park. Visitors paddle downwind through sea caves and pristine coves without retracing their route, with the support boat picking them up at a different location. The Epic Sea Caves trip runs eight hours and includes a one-hour crossing each way, with possible whale and dolphin sightings. Optional kelp forest snorkeling uses full wetsuits, masks, snorkels, and fins provided at the dock; snorkelers jump directly into the kelp forest from the Sunfish boat. The company has operated for thirty-five years as a guide-owned, family-run business offering small-group paddles led by experienced guides. Kayakers enter vessels easily from the mothership's swim step. Trips accommodate ages five and up, with all downwind paddling designed to maximize sightseeing.
