Something Different
For those looking to see Catalina Island from a different perspective, several options are available.
Jeep Eco-tours, offered by the Catalina Island Conservancy, are available for full day, half day or two hours. Utilizing open-roof Jeeps and personalized service, these tours allow visitors to see a side of the island unavailable to the general public. Call (310) 510-2595 to arrange a tour.
Visitors who are interested in local history and classic California craftsmanship will want to make a point of experiencing the Catalina Island Museum's tile walking tours, which showcase the world-famous colorful tiles that were manufactured on the island in the 1920s and 1930s.
Once a month, the Catalina Conservancy invites residents and visitors to join a professional naturalist in the interior of the island for an informative hike.
Custom history tours with a local historian can also be arranged through the Catalina Taxi Service and local guide Chuck Liddell. Call Catalina Transportation Services at (310) 510-0342 to make arrangements.
Whichever way you chose to explore, Catalina's many charms are just waiting to be discovered.
