What Guests Are Saying
San Miguel Island offers a stunning natural environment with incredible wildlife, including one of the largest pinniped rookeries in the world. The guided hikes led by knowledgeable volunteers enhance the experience, providing opportunities for relaxation and solitude away from crowds. While the island has minimal infrastructure and limited shade, these aspects contribute to its rugged charm and memorable adventures.

This island is difficult to get to (and shouldn't be anyone's first Channel Island), but it is absolutely worth the trouble. The island is beautiful and remote. Be sure to camp extra food and water since the probability of high swells delaying the boat is higher out on the Outer Channel (this happened to us for a day). The Cuyler's Bay, Point Bennett, and Harris Point are the highlights. Expect high winds during most of the stay. We had a great Park Ranger but since they need to accompany you on all trails, that is pretty crucial.

Superb place to spend a few days. Don’t forget to bring enough water, and be aware that the climb from the beach to the campsite is strenuous!

We were so lucky to have the perfect weather for our visit, warm and no winds. Sabina was an excellent guide to the island. She was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna as well as the island history and the animals that live there. While it wasn't the "season" for the pinnipeds, we did see quite a few of them, even right on the beach were where loaded onto the skiffs. Since there are only 9 campsites we were able to get to know our fellow campers and had a wonderful time with them. Don't miss the beautiful sunrises and sunsets!
