A Channel Island Sea Cave Experience for your Group:
Available
by charter only at this time. Explore Painted Cave by Kayak
Imagine paddling a kayak alongside the craggy coastline of a
breathtaking and remote island. To one side are rugged mountain
ranges and deep canyons; to the other, a vast expanse of ocean
teeming with playful dolphins and spirited whales. Imagine darting
into the mouth of a cavernous sea cave only to find yourself
surrounded by scores of seals and sea lions welcoming you into
their den. Now imagine this experience is just within reach off
the Santa Barbara coastﾅ and you could get there in a mere 45
minutes. Well, you canﾗwith the
CONDOR Express' exclusive Painted Cave Experience.
The fun begins the minute you board the brand new Condor Express,
a 75-foot high-speed luxury catamaran that will whisk us over to
the Channel Islands in less than an hour, unless of course we see
an amazing pod of dolphins or slow down to enjoy the passing of a
mother whale  and
her calf. When we arrive at Santa Cruz Island, an experienced
guide will give you a brief kayak orientation, and then itﾒs into
a kayak you go. (Yes, even if youﾒve never kayaked before in your
life and have the athletic ability of a tree stump.) For the next
hour and a half, youﾒll explore the seldom-seen coastal caves of
western Santa Cruz Island at your own pace. Sure to blow your mind
is Painted Cave, one of the worldsﾒ largest and deepest sea caves,
aptly named for the rainbow of rocks, lichens and algae that line
its sweeping interior. As you cruise along, if the weather and
tides cooperate you may get treated to a dramatic water show, as
waves erupt through the breath-taking stone archways that line the
islandﾒs coast. When youﾒre done, turn your gear over to the crew
and sit back and enjoy a cocktailﾗand the relaxing ride home.
Before you know it, the Condor Express will deposit you back at
the Santa Barbara harbor, and youﾒll swear youﾒve just seen
another world. And you have.
Tour Duration: Approximately 5 hours.
