- Landing on Anacapa Island is **not guaranteed** and depends on sea conditions. The vessel captain will make the final decision on-site. If landing is not possible, the trip will continue as a half-day wildlife cruise, and ticket costs will be automatically prorated. Spring (March–May) often brings high winds, increasing the likelihood of cancellations.

Anacapa Island, part of Channel Islands National Park, is the closest island to the mainland, located 12–14 miles offshore.
Despite being about 4 miles long, it contains less than one square mile of land.
Visitors reach the island via the East End Landing Cove, climbing a ladder and 157 steps to the plateau.
There is no potable water or shade, so guests must come prepared.
