  • Happy Hikers: Santa Cruz Island

    • May 01, 2026
    • 8:15 AM - 5:00 PM
    • Santa Cruz Island
    Happy Hikers and Watersports are collaborating to deliver an incredible day on Santa Cruz Island. We will take a boat from Ventura Harbor to the island where you will have the choice of hiking or kayaking (or both). Everyone will need to book their own reservation for the boat directly from Island Packers. Kayakers also need to reserve their kayaks with Channel Island Kayak Center AND space on the boat for the kayak with  Island Packers.

    There is no food or water on the island so you will need to bring everything you need for the day. Food/snacks, drinking water, towels, hiking poles, etc.  We will be exposed to the sun all day so bring: sunscreen, hats, etc.

    Hikers can choose from two hikes (both out and back), one is from Scorpions Anchorage to Potato Harbor which is a moderate 5 mile hike and the second is a 7.5 mile strenuous hike from Scorpions Anchorage to Smugglers cove beach. These are trails that HH have done in the past and we will likely identify other hikes prior to the event. For more information on the hikes check here.  

    Hike 1: Potato Harbor: (5 Mile)  https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/california/potato-harbor?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-

    Hike 2: Smugglers Cove: (7.7 mile)https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/california/smugglers-cove--2?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map

    We will depart from Island Packers in Ventura and take the 9:00am boat to Scorpion Cove on Santa Cruz Island and return on the 3:30pm boat from Scorpion Cove. You need to arrive at Island Packers in Ventura by 8:15am and are estimated to arrive back in Ventura around 5pm. 

    When you book your reservation if there isn't availability at these times (or you prefer) Island Packers has an 8am departure and a 4:30 pm return that you can choose. Carpools are recommended. The costs are as follows.

    All participants must reserve space on the boat as a passenger.

    Those that are kayaking need to make two additional reservations.

    1. Space on the boat for your kayak through Island Packers

    Single Kayaks     $23                                                   Double Kayaks $31

    2. Kayak rental (unless bringing your own)

    This is done through Channel Islands Kayak Center at 805-984-5995

    Single Kayaks     $35 all day                                      Double Kayaks $55 all day

    Channel Islands Kayak Center is located directly next to Island Packers where we get on the boat. You will need to arrive at least one hour prior to departure to pick up your kayak, paddle and PFD.

    YOU NEED TO RESERVE YOUR OWN BOAT PASSENGER TICKET AND SEAT AVAILIBILITY IS LIMITED SO RESERVE ASAP AT  https://www.islandpackers.com/book/day-trip-at-scorpion-anchorage/     or 805.642.1393
