Visit the Painted Cave – Santa Cruz Island
- Crossing time to Prisoner’s is approximately 1.5 hours
- After a brief stop at Prisoners Harbor to offload people, the boat continues to Painted Cave.
- Our 64′ catamaran will cruise near the entrance of the cave to view one of the largest known sea caves on the planet. There is no landing at Painted Cave, but the photos and memories should be unforgettable.
- After visiting Painted Cave, passengers return to Prisoner’s Harbor to disembark and spend the rest of their time ashore. Disembarking at Prisoner’s Harbor requires passengers to climb a ladder of 2- 8 rungs depending on the tide, and to descend the ladder when re-boarding. Passengers have approximately 3+ hours to spend the remainder of their day hiking, picnicking and exploring Prisoner’s Harbor.
Prisoners Harbor has a recently renewed wetlands area. The National Park and The Nature Conservancy together recovered this area once lost to ranching needs.
