Attractions

Join an exploration of Catalina Island's coastline onboard a motorized rigid-hull inflatable raft. There is a good chance you'll encounter the island's bald eagles, harbor seals, sea lions, red tail hawks and other local wildlife. View Long Point, Italian Gardens, Goat Harbor, and Rippers Cove. Then continue two to three miles offshore in search of dolphins during the ride back to Avalon.

Activities

When exploring Avalon, don't limit yourself to Front Street. Discover the nine-mile stretch of beaches and hillsides of Avalon. Take a scenic tour of the beautiful Wrigley Botanical Gardens. Tour Catalina's famous undersea gardens in a climate-controlled semisubmersible. Watch the famous California sea lions as they frolic in the waters. These "showmen of the sea" are natural entertainers.

Adventures

Catch a round of golf while enjoying the views at the Santa Catalina Golf Course
