Discover the best kept secret in the National Park System.

The Channel Islands are the best kept secret in the National Park
System-with 2,000 species of plants and animals, including 150
species found nowhere else in the world. To reach this magnificent
national park, you need a ship. Travel with us aboard the 50-cabin
National Geographic Venture, on this five-day wellness and wildness
expedition. We will discover three of the five islands of the Channel
Islands National Park, as well as Catalina Island.


Embark from Los Angeles for five-days of exploration in the Channel
Islands.

On this exciting expedition, you'll have the opportunity to
join naturalists and NPCA staff hosts to explore unmarred landscapes,
hike in a rare grove of Torrey pines, paddle the rugged shoreline and
marvel at the architectural gems of Catalina Island while setting your
own pace of recreation or relaxation. Enjoy picnic lunches with
sweeping views of the land and natural harbor and evenings under
starry skies. Visit the famous community of Avalon-or you may
opt to go scuba diving if you are certified. Savor the spectacular
cuisine on board after thrilling days full of unforgettable
activities.


Amongst the sweeping vistas, behold a breathtaking diversity of
animals.

As you admire the unique seascapes and landscapes of Channel Islands,
you'll want to keep your eye out for some of the 2,000 species
that call the Channel Islands home. On Santa Rosa Island, we may catch
a glimpse-or photo-of the elusive Channel Island fox, an
animal that the Channel Islands National Park saved from the brink of
extinction. You might also find an unusual animal on Santa Catalina
Island-American bison. We'll uncover the interesting story
behind how they got to the island, along with the current conservation
efforts to protect the island from this non-endemic animal. Aboard the
National Geographic Venture, search for feeding humpback whales,
wake-surfing dolphins and curious sea lions.
