Catalina Activities & Events

   Whether you are planning your first visit to the island or your 51st, Catalina always offers something new to discover. From dramatic vistas overlooking the pounding Pacific to world famous architectural treasures, there are dozens of wonders waiting to be seen and more than a dozen ways to see them.

   First time visitors will want to get an overview of the quaint town of Avalon and the best way to do just that is through a tour of the city. Both Catalina Discovery Tours and Catalina Adventure Tours offer day and evening tours of this fascinating small town, where Hollywood legends vacationed and Big Bands brought the world to Avalon.

   While Avalon's many charms will keep visitors intrigued, the rest of the island offers unparalleled natural beauty and stunning vistas as well as the opportunity to glimpse bison, deer, bald eagles and Island foxes. General tours of Catalina's dramatic interior also include visits to the Airport in the Sky and the Catalina Conservancy's nature center. Catalina Discovery Tours' Interior Tour also includes a horse show at El Rancho Escondido, the Wrigley's legendary Arabian horse ranch.

   Both Catalina Discovery Tours and Catalina Adventure Tours also offer additional tours, such as a tour of the world famous Casino Ballroom and an Avalon Walking Tour. Complete tour listing are available at each company's website or by calling Catalina Discovery Tours at (310) 510-2500 or Catalina Adventure Tours at (310) 510-2888.

Whichever way you choose to explore, Catalina’s many charms are just waiting to be discovered.
