Boat out to the Channel Islands, then inland for condors and volcanic spires at Pinnacles. Expect mild but changeable winter weather: Ventura/Channel Islands daytime highs upper 50s–mid 60s°F, real chance of Pacific storm systems bringing rough seas — Island Packers crossings can be cancelled or rerouted on short notice, so build in a flexible day. Pinnacles is cool and often foggy in the mornings, occasional light rain; a good window for condor sightings before summer heat pushes them higher.
