    Loved loved LOVED the people who handled the boat ride and the parasailing. Very funny guys, but forgot their names. We went on April 9th. They were super helpful and nice with pictures and videos of us, and kept us laughing the whole boat ride to make us less nervous. Felt very safe with them.

    Sea Lions on the shore line

    We did a seal watching tour with them. Our granddaughters, 10yrs and 8yrs old loved it. So excited to see the Sea Lions and we also saw a harbor seal. Our Captain and his crew member were very friendly and knowledgeable about the Island and the sea life. Check them out if you have a chance to do an excursion from your cruise ship when stopping at Catalina Island. Highly recommend.

    I would 100% recommend this place. We went in with open minds despite of the weather being gloomy. Our ride was set at 1:45 and the sky cleared up the weather was so beautiful not so extremely hot just perfect. The two gentlemen in the boat were very informative since entering the boat. They gave us specific instructions and through in a few jokes to easy the fear. Up in the air 800 ft with clear skies and a perfect view of the island. Coming down back from ride we got to experience a quick dip of the oven enough to get our feet well. Though it would be more of a scary ride but turn out to very blissful. I can't thank them enough for the experience.

    Jack and David were the best! They were funny and made the whole experience better for everybody. My family had a really good time for the first time parasailing. We couldn't have asked for better!!

    My boyfriend and I had so much fun! If you're hesitating just go for it! The ride is smooth and not scary at all. It's about a ten min flying time but so worth it! I do wish we got better pictures since they are pricey. We probably only got about three decent pictures.

    Parasailing in Catalina!

    Great time and such a fun experience with a wonderful group of people. The operators made the trip fun with great music and joyful attitudes. They were friendly and topped off an already great experience with excellent customer service and loads of fun! Thank you guys so so much!!

    Booked this as an excursion on our cruise, it was a bit gloomy out, but we had a great time! The two guys on the boat were super nice and fully of cheesy jokes. Highly Recommend! Would definitely go again!!!

    Can I add a passenger once I get there after booking online? I am only seeing 5 spots available for the time I need

    There's other passengers. You all may not fit on the boat if you don't book ahead of time.

    How much per person? And do we have to book in advance?

    It's about $65 per person. I suggest you book ahead. I've parasailed a few times with this company and it gets pretty busy. Although, there was a person who was in line that was booking spontaneously. Have Fun!!

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

    My kids love aquariums...and they love boats....so this seemed like a win-win, and it sooooo was!…read more We met the boat at the end of a small pier. The boat had an enclosed bench-seating area with all seats facing the center of the boat, which was made of glass and several feet below where we all sat. I was amazed by how clear the water was-even right next to shore. As we moved, our guide shared some local history and information about the marine life below us. We paused at several fish sanctuary locations, and the guide threw fish food into the water to attract more fish than we could count. The tour, which lasted an hour, was a delight for the whole family. All of the kids and kids at heart were thrilled by the many types of fish we saw. We were even fortunate enough to see a diving cormorant! The waves were not too bad on the day I went...even though my stomach usually gets queasy on smaller boats, this one didn't bother me. Maybe I was too entranced by the fish to notice. If I ever visit Catalina again and have time to do it, I'll be more than happy to go on this tour again. It was just long enough, and you never know what you'll see down there! Note--there is a public restroom at the beginning of the pier, but much of it was out of order, leading to some pretty long lines. Make sure you go before you get on the boat-no restrooms on board.

The not so good: It is a confined space and tends to be noisy inside. Also, why they charge for feeding the fish escapes me. They didn't used to do that!

    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.

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!

Raphael shared interesting information along the way, and even turned the boat around to be sure we saw the dolphin in the dusk. Everyone enjoyed the evening.

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!
