#springitinerary Springtime at the Channel Islands was an adventure I’ll never forget! The boat ride over was smooth, and we spotted dolphins and even a few whales along the way. On Santa Cruz Island, the hills were green and sprinkled with golden poppies and lupine in full bloom. I kayaked through sea caves and hiked to scenic overlooks with sweeping ocean views. The cool temps made exploring perfect. #springitinerary must for nature lovers — it feels remote and wild but still accessible. Pro tip: pack snacks and layers; there are no shops on the islands. Totally worth it!

#islandtour Channel lsland has been on my list for a long time, but I don't have the strength to come and visit Channel lsland National Park separately. He used to watch many attacks and said to try to avoid being affected by strong winds. The weather depends on the weather, which is difficult to control. I chose to invite a group of physical strength kings to go together. By brushing through those arch rocks&caves and having the opportunity to have intimate contact with marine animals, I have been tempted and can only take a boat to Island Packer. This is one of the ways to land on the island, and it is necessary to book about two weeks in advance (72 hours in advance for free refund). The departure port will be Ventura or Oxnad, and the landing point is recommended to choose Scorpion, which needs to be arrived one hour in advance. Landing method:

Recently, I talked about wildflowers in California. In fact, the Channel Islands have been full of wildflowers in the spring. The island has not settled, and it has preserved the pure natural environment. The spring wildflowers are full of land and beautiful. The best thing is to go boating to see the stone arch culvert in the sea, and I have accepted the whole kayak in my bag.
