Great tour, very informative, Sal was awesome!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a great way to see Catalina outside of the confines of Avalon. The tour truck was open air, had 10 rows of so of seats, and was covered (each seat fits 2 with seatbelts). The trip started in Avalon and worked its way up through the town, offering bits of trivia along the way. The heart of the tour starts when you get outside of town and get on the roads tourists don't have access to. The views along the coast were stunning, any where from hundreds to up to 2,000 feet above sea level (I believe the peak height was somewhere around there, but don't quote me on it). The rugged hills and fields were mostly void of any human structures (although you do pass a park, a house or two, and some private camps that are used for boy/Girl Scouts retreats) and were very beautiful. The tour works its way to the Catalina airport, where the truck stops for 15 minutes and allows you to go to the bathroom, visit a gift shop and eat some bison chili! Wildlife spotted included lots of birds, a few bison, and the famous Catalina foxes which were pretty adorable. All in all this tour is a must for anyone who wants to see some of what the island has to offer outside of Avalon. The staff was very friendly, and Sal the guide was so much fun, lots of laughs!

Unique insight to the typical Catalina Island experience. Had hoped to see some buffalo, but they were hiding. Did get to see a couple of island foxes and hawks.

I enjoyed it everything...
