Great tour but not for those scared of heights. Fun for the rest! Great tour guide, lot of info. Imagine Disneyland Indiana Jones rides without the music and in real wilderness. More

Kim was our tour guide and she was absolutely THE BEST TOUR GUIDE I have ever had in my 40 years of adventures. I was so impressed with her vast knowledge of the island, the plants, the animals, the things to do, the vehicles, the laws, whatever you are curious about knowing she knew. I imagine she just reads late... More

Don't let the price of this tour sway you. This tour is so worth the money. You can't get any better tour of Catalina Island. You learn about the islands history, the conservancy efforts on the island, we visited the airport in the sky, went down the sheep chute (serious grade downhill), through bald eagle nesting area, the interior, passed...

This was the best thing we did on our 12 day vacation to Southern and Central California. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and we learned so much from his information. The ride was in an open air vehicle and since we were "off road" for much of the time, it was really bumpy which may not... More

4plus hour backroad tour. We saw many bison and learned about the history of Catalina Island. The tour vehicle was a blast, looked like we were on safari. The best part was the tour guide Dave, he's been a guide on the Island 16 years ! The lunch was pretty decient. The tour is good for all ages, but maybe... More

I loved it even though it was really foggy when we went. We didn't have the greatest views. But our guide was still fabulous and we still saw alot of stuff including a lot of bison. The first hour or two were like a roller coaster ride. It was like being on a fanastic roller coaster for hours without having... More
