Knowledgeable with suggestions and maps and brochures. We decided to take the 2 hour island tour which was so much fun and so beautiful but if you don't like small roads going to the top of the mountain don't go. They serve champagne in a beautiful spot overl looking the ocean . More

While visiting Long Beach, my wife and I took a day trip to Catalina Island. We had a great time! We couldn't have asked for any better weather. We did some shopping, eating, then chilled on the beach with a few drinks in some rented lounge chairs overlooking the beautiful bay. This would be a nice quiet place to visit... More

It has been a few years since I visited but even then I thought the entire place was over priced. It's a nice view and all but I guess I'm just not into paying so much money for so little. I think this place is more for people to try and show off how much money they have (or want... More

There's something for everyone here--restaurants, hiking, botanical garden, museum, beaches, fishing, camping, biking, golfing, tennis, and more. If possible, it's best to purchase a package deal that includes round-trip reservation on the express boat ride over and one or two nights in a hotel on or near the waterfront. I say this after our one day whirlwind visit. We also... More

My family and I visited Catalina Island the week before Thanksgiving 2011. We found a reduced rate for the boat trip online and enjoyed the 2 hour ride. When we arrived, we used a coupon for golf cart rental and spent 2 hours traveling around the island. The next coupon that we used was for 18 holes of minature golf.... More

My husband and I came back from one week in Avalon, Catalina Island. This is the best one week you could give to yourself. Once there you quickly adjust to "island time" comtemplating your next move over an ice cream on the corner. There are several tours to choose, or rent a golf cart to tour the city. There are...
