Island Packers marks 50 years with discounts on Channel Islands boat tours
Island Packers, the Ventura-based company that takes visitors to Channel Islands National Park, celebrates its 50th year with discounted prices for boat trips to the islands in November.
The deal: A half-day wildlife watching cruise in the Santa Barbara Channel that travels along the coast of Anacapa Island costs $50 for two passengers. The usual fare is $38 per person. The trip lasts about 3½ hours (no landing).
Tickets have been reduced to $50 per person (instead of $82 each) for a day trip to Santa Rosa Island, which includes two hours on the boat and up to four hours on shore.
When: Prices are good on select dates in November.
Tested: I found availability for the wildlife cruise on Nov. 3 and other dates at the discounted price. By the way, Channel Islands National Park, created in 1980, consists of Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Santa Barbara and San Miguel islands.
