🌊"all we could hear were the echos of the seabirds chirping and the gentle lapping of the waves"
⏰Start early morning for favorable wind
⛑️Bring helmet and headlamp for dark passages

Paddle into one of the world's largest sea caves where sunlight paints the ceiling in watercolors and sea lions lounge on interior rocks. The four-hour journey around Santa Cruz Island's craggy coastline rewards you with hidden wildlife, kelp forests, and the echo of seabirds in a 1,200-foot cavern.
