We recommend flying into San Jose International Airport [SJC] as it is the closest to Santa Cruz or San Francisco International Airport [SFO] as it is a bigger airport. Depending on your perferred airline, Oakland International Airport [OAK] may also be an option.
There are a few ways to get to Santa Cruz! There are several car rental options, taxi/Uber/Lyft, and local bus options. We recommend renting a car so you can easily explore Santa Cruz.
