    Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We took the trip from Long Beach to Avalon with…read moreJetski2Catalina and enjoyed it. The trip there takes about an hour and a half and was quite pleasant since it was an extremely hot day in LA. No wetsuit was needed, but we did take the ones they offered with in case we needed it during the trip. - this is a high impact sport. We definitely didn't realize it until we were on the water, but even though the water was relatively calm on the way there, it's a workout holding on to the jetskis as the bounce pretty hard over swells. - getting there was a workout, but getting back was HARD. Muscles were tired and bodies were sore from the way there, and getting back was windy and cold and choppy (even though it started as a very hot day in LA). If I had my way, I would do the trip on the way there and take a ferry on the way back but I doubt that's offered. - they have wetsuits which are not mandatory to use but if you don't want to use it when you leave, it is probably a good idea to take anyway and store in your jetski in case you change your mind. I do regret not putting it on for the way back as it was cold (but hot on Catalina). People have mentioned the wetsuits were gross. They seemed fine to me. - others have mentioned to bring gloves, watershoes, goggles. Those would probably all help, but I didn't have any and it didn't affect me that much. Gloves might help the chaffing between thumb and forefinger when holding the jetski which bounces up and down a lot, but I didn't find chaffing too bad. Watershoes would help chaffing on feet due to said bouncing and wearing sandals. Again, I didn't find that too bad. Goggles help if your eyes are sensitive to the salt water constantly splashing in them if it's windy. I wore sunglasses and got a lot of water in my eyes, but I guess my eyes aren't that sensitive to salt water. Overall we're glad we did it as a family as it makes for a great story but once is enough.

    Let me set the stage - I love a good thrill - I've bungee jumped, white water rafted, gone scuba…read morediving...I love adventure. That said, this trip was both exhilarating and disappointing at the same time. Similarly to what I've read elsewhere, some small adjustments (like a one way jetski trip to Avalon and come back on the cruiser) may have made this a 4 star experience. My husband surprised me with this for my birthday. I'd looked into it previously and had been interested in doing it but the pricetag is substantial so I hadn't taken the leap. As such, I did not have much time to prepare for this in advance. NOTE TO MEN: DO NOT SURPRISE YOUR PARTNER WITHOUT ANY HEADS UP - NOBODY WANTS THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE THOUGHT OF AND PLANNED FOR EVERY NEED & CONCERN THAT MIGHT ARISE (you probably can't - give your boo some advance notice). This operation is super low direction and guidance. The most important things I heard were: stay between 30-35mph to glide best on water and that this would be an adventure. And an adventure it was... Arrival and check in were easy enough (I cant speak to registration and information sharing before arrival). We were given wetsuits and lifejackets and then we were all loaded up on jetskis (which is when those two nuggets of wisdom were provided). The direction from there is minimal and you really have a lot of slack to get out there and have a blast. That said, holy mother was that intense! The way there wasn't so bad. I flew off the jetski once and one of the two guys with us helped me back to my jetski. He (Zack) was definitely the more communicative of the two (the other was Jet) but it definitely felt like they were there to check off some boxes (get us there and back, take some pics, etc). I was tired and had blisters on my hands by the time we were heading back, the water was choppy - more choppy then I expected. I was so scared. It's intense and I was terrified of being flung back into the (busier) ocean. I wish that there had been some dialogue, some acknowledgment of the challenges of the journey, maybe some tips to get through it the best possible. There wasn't any of that and I spent the whole way back praying I make it home safely. That, coupled with the fact that the harbor and surrounding ocean in Long Beach is so disgustingly dirty, will make this a one and done kinda deal. The blisters on my hands were several skin layers deep and the bruising (pictured) tell the story of just how intense this really was.
