If you want to see a little more of Catalina than just the waterfront area, I highly recommend this tour.

From the moment we started, he was funny, warm, and incredibly engaging, while also being super knowledgeable and educational about the island and wildlife. What really stood out was how perfectly Andrew balanced the experience -- he knew exactly when to share great stories and facts, and when to let us simply soak in the sights, sounds, and beauty around us. He never rushed us and made sure we had plenty of opportunities for amazing photos and genuine wildlife sightings. We truly felt like we were seeing the island at its best. The tour felt safe, well-supported, and action-packed, without ever feeling overwhelming. You could tell Andrew genuinely cared about everyone having a great time and walking away with memorable moments. We also saw a fox and bison! Highly, highly recommend this tour -- and if you're lucky enough to get Andrew as your guide, you're in for a treat. Side note: when guides and drivers go above and beyond like this, please remember to tip. Andrew, if you ever read this -- thank you for such a fantastic experience. Hope your boss sees this and rewards you big time!

On a one day visit to Catalina Island, there is so much to do, see and eat…read more To start, rent a golf cart or wear good walking shoes because this port is not too big for tourist exploration. There is also a "Circuit" ride share that will take you around the island for $2 per person. Coming in by tender from a cruise ship is great. The docking area is in town and so close to everything. I exited the tender and walked along the waterfront where I passed a few children's playgrounds with a pirate theme. Then on to where the golf carts are rented. I walked to the pier (Green Pier) where there are bathrooms and many small shops all hoping for the tourist business. They carry the typical port souvenirs. After a long walk on this short pier I got to the end where there is many people fishing with poles and the little set ups they will sell you for a few dollars and the bait too. There are plenty of benches to sit and watch the boat come in and out of the harbour. There is a small beach area that has lots of pretty colored little rocks along the shoreline. The walk to the round Casino Building is pretty much the end of the road before a mountainside resort. I passed by some waterfront restaurants that were even crowded on a cloudy day. My walk back to the tender was quick and the ride back to the cruise ship was also pretty nice and calm.

Catalina island interior is the best place to experience nature without having to travel far. We…read morehave toured the interior quite a few times. We booked a tour once to see bisons but didn't get to see animals cause it was raining. The tours we went by ourselves were much better! We saw many wild animals including bisons! The interior vineyard is so beautiful. The trips were very enjoyable but a bit of too much sun for me. Wear sunscreen and a hat to prevent sun exposure! Keep in mind that it takes 20 years to be able to buy a real car on island. Only one golf cart is allowed per residence. There are no spaces for real cars and more golf carts in Avalon. Our family and friends live here so they have a real car to take us to interiors. Yes you will need a real car to do that! Avalon has enough restaurants and bars to hang out. Casino is also a movie theater to show older movies on certain weekend evenings. They offer tours of this historic casino too. They host NYE gala every year. Beach club is great for summer times. Museum is small but still worth taking a tour. Too bad the spa has closed down, we used to go there all the time. This island has so much to offer. It's the best place for a lot of fun just a ferry ride away!

Warning: don't be stupid like us and assume all rental places on the island are the same. There's a…read morereason this place has such negative reviews. We picked up a cart on a Monday morning when the island was basically empty. The customer service was absolutely terrible--cold, rude, and dismissive when we started to ask questions about where we should go and any tips or recommendations, even though we were the only people in line. We were shown the "typical" route and told it wouldn't take more than an hour as long as we didn't stop too long in one place. I can verify that is absolutely not true, and the entire route will only take one hour if you drive straight through and never get out of the cart. Our entire trip took 2h 8 min since we stopped to see a few things and one of the streets on the route was closed due to road work. When we returned the cart, we were charged for the two hours (fine) but we were also charged a "late fee" of $1/min for the extra 8 minutes. I mean, come on--we were the only ones renting from you that day, and we had to turn around because the route you showed us was closed! If possible, rent from one of the other places on the island. I can't verify that they're better, but I know their customer service can't be worse.

On the day of our Catalina Island visit this place was our only option since their competitor was…read moreclosed "due to a birthday celebration". They have two locations on the island and it's really a wonder why with the amount of golf carts on the island that there are only two main rental companies. Not only that, you know that there is a monopoly for golf cart rentals when the cost to rent a golf cart is more than a typical car rental. Also, I think the city of Avalon and the Catalina island ferries are both in on this monopoly (you cant bring electric scooters to the island and there's a charge to bring bikes). Any ways, expect to shell out $75 for two hours and no one offers an all day rental option. They would have gotten 1 star but we got a small bag of taffy for returning the cart a few minutes earlier. Customer service is decent.

Upon…read morearrival to the jet ski office the staff had us sign waivers (for those who don't do it online) and then shuttled us to a barge a few minutes away from the pier where the Sea Doos were located. After a safety talk and do's and don'ts we were on our way! We all had a fantastic time, although my son's jet ski died on him and he and his friend had to get towed back. They gave us extra time because of this which was nice. A must do if you're in Catalina!

I was literally standing still, explaining to my child how to pedal on the back seat, and she shouted as if we had already done something wrong. It was completely uncalled for, and the tone she used was harsh and rude. Considering it was my child's birthday, the experience was even more upsetting. I looked at her and ignored her because the last thing i wanted was to go off on her on my child's birthday. That was the first and last time I will ever do business with them.

So if you're on the fence or feeling anxious, this review is for you. We had Andrew as our guide and he was awesome. Before we even got on the open air hummer, he was very upfront that the ride would be bumpy and gave solid advice on where to sit if heights make you uneasy. That actually made me more nervous at first, but it turned out to be totally fine. The hummer never gets that close to the cliff edge, and it always felt controlled and safe. The views are unreal!!!!!! seriously breathtaking. We were lucky enough to see 2 bison, 2 Catalina foxes, 2 does, and a young buck. The tour before us saw zero bison, so we were thrilled. We even got to see them up close, which was incredible. As for the ride itself, I didn't find it nearly as bumpy as people make it sound. There were a few spots where the height felt a little sketchy, but in a "whoa" way, not a "nope, I regret everything" way. All in all, I'd absolutely recommend this tour. Don't let dramatic exit speeches scare you off, you'll be glad you did it. There's blankets available on the hummer in case you get chilly. Tips: - bring cash. TIP YOUR DRIVER!!!! - secure your hat and hair, so hat doesn't go flying off
