Had a massage scheduled, but received a call that the masseuse was out sick so they offered me a facial or a body scrub. I opted for the 80 minute Harbor Scrub and Body Wrap. Cece D. was an exceptional aesthetician and began with a dry brush all over, then scrubbed my entire body with bees wax beads, gently massaged my scalp and feet with palm oil, and after showering, finished with shea butter slathered over every inch and then cocooned me in a warm wrap. My skin was glowing! Thank you Cece for such a luxurious experience!

We were from a Disney cruise, and booked the echo jeep tour for our trip ashore to Catalina. Andrew took us to some amazing places, we saw bison and a fox, there was an epic playlist, we even drove through clouds! It was cool to get to go behind fences and on roads the general public does not have access to. Andrew was ridiculously knowledgeable, entertained us the entire 2+ hour tour, allowed time to take photos when it was safe, and all around was just a nice guy! This tour was one of our top two memories from the entire Disney cruise. Highly highly recommend anyone to take this tour. It did not disappoint.

I was treated to a wonderful spa day at this beautiful facility. This is my second time here and it was absolutely amazing! I had the best message by Sky who was very attentive and professional. Cece gave me the most amazing 80 minute facial that left my skin feeling great. Many thanks to all the staff who were very accommodating when we missed our ferry to the island and we had to shuffle our schedule around to make this wonderful experience happen!

Train staff in restaurants, shops, tour operations and hotels to be friendly! My husband and I were shocked by how unwelcoming most service industry people we encountered were. Also, the insane amount of bees EVERYWHERE almost ruined our 3 night trip! Bees were in our hotel, in trashcans everywhere on the island and even in stores selling clothing and food items! They were on our food to the point it was hard to eat, and even one night on a restaurant floor crawling around at our feet! Literally in every store window EVERYWHERE there were bees! It was horrible to me! Many tourist we spoke to during our trip were equally concerned and upset by both of these things - unfriendly staff and a scary amount of aggressive in-your-face bees! I will not go back to Catalina Island any time soon. This is NOT the Catalina Island I remember from years ago!

Cindy is the best!!! The ridge line roads weren’t your ready for the hummers and Cindy made up a great tour, was funny and gave a great history of the island. Ended up seeing more of the island and wildlife than we expected and had a great time. She’s awesome!!!

Zip line was awesome! Our tour guides Lexi C & Addie H were full of enthusiasm and made the morning a fun experience for all. They were very welcoming to each guest and worked hard to move things smoothly and efficiently. It was our first experience zip lining, but we definitely enjoyed it!

The falconry tour was 10-star! We really enjoyed learning so much about the amazing birds we saw - up close and personal! The guide owns the birds and knows so much about them. We felt very comfortable being so close to them and having the hawk land on our gloved hands. It was a very informative, interactive and inspiring tour that you can’t get in many places. Highly recommend!

Cindy was amazing with our tour today. The Echo tour had to be rerouted and ended up being a more special experience. We saw parts of the island we had never seen before. Cindy was very informed on her island knowledge and full of humor. I would recommend this experience and hope they add this alternate route as a regular route.

We visited the island 3x this year, all of which we fun & relaxing.
For day trips it’s best to take an early boat over and late afternoon back.
Since Catalina is in LA County expect all mask & vaccination rules to apply here.

We did the ZIP Line Eco tour and we had the best time ever!!! Our tour guides Mary & Trent made it so much fun as well as the other group members! Our guides were patient, funny and so personalible! Really made the experience so amazing! I was terrified being it was my first real zipline adventure but after the 1rst line I was only wanting more! The sights were priceless and the guides taught us so much about this wonderful island!The lines are smooth,secure and each landing was smooth. It's a 2 hour adventure and was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Mary and Trent for your amazing skills, information and all around experience! Won't ever forget it! The only thing is we didn't know we could bring our phones to take pictures so bring yours if you do!

Can kids rent fishing pole for the free fishing for kids in the mornings? How much do they sell fishing poles for at the pier?

The Skyline Drive tour is 2.5 hours winding through the mountains up to the airport. The Scenic Drive tour is less than an hour and focuses on the town of Avalon and its surrounding area. We loved the Skyline Drive tour because it took us places we couldn't otherwise see. If you're worried about the length, there's a stop at the airport with time to walk around and get a bite to eat.

I liked your review on Catalina Island. What tour company was it and do you have their website?
Written March 16, 2016
Hi Barbie,
It was Santa Catalina Island Company. I don't think we can post websites here but if you can find them by doing a search for it and go to the link for visitcatalinaisland-islandcompany.

Can you give me info on tours available May 2, 2016. We will be arriving on a Carnival cruise.
Written March 16, 2016
Hi,
Catalinatours have an office near the ferry terminal. Ask for Patrick and he will guide you. You can walk nearly everywhere in Avlalon, so do!
Definitely visit the Casino and get a tour of the ballroom etc , very worthwhile. The Lobster Trap is great for lunch and then get the shuttle to the Wrigley Memorial, really worthwhile and good value.
Oh, great fun, do the mini golf, it's just behind the Main Street.
