Catalina Island

On Catalina Island, you can do everything… or nothing at all.

For some it's scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, or frolicking in crystal-clear waters. For others, it's horseback riding, world-class golf, para-sailing or exploring charming shops and galleries. And then there are those who prefer to do nothing but relax on the beach. Whatever your passion, the Island of Romance will entrance you.

Traveling by Boat:

In the summer the crossing is generally calm, though those who are sensitive are advised to take a dramamine an hour before departure. Dolphins and whales are spotted fairly often, and the boat captains are good about slowing and turning
to get a good view.

Traveling by Helicopter:

Most first-timers try to get a seat on the upper (exposed) decks, only to come back inside once the winds on the channel start to get cool. Grab a seat inside, leave your coat, and then walk the decks. All the boats have snack bars with cocktail service.
Important: if you show up less than 15 minutes before departure time, there is a good chance that your ticket will have been sold to a stand-by passenger Island Express Helicopters
Experienced pilots, with a fleet of 3 comfortably upholstered jet helicopters. Especially on days with rough water this is the way to go.

* The FASTEST way to get to Catalina.
* Departs: both San Pedro and Long Beach boat terminals.
* Length of trip: fourteen minutes.
* Schedule: available hourly from 8 am till sunset.
* Fares: $66.50 + tax one way, $124.00 + tax round trip, for adults, kids andseniors (fares provided by operator and are subject to change without notice).
* Restrictions: Check in half hour before flight. 25 lb. baggage limit per person.
* Fun value: flying over the L.A. Harbor is quite scenic, as is the approach to the Island. The helicopters seat six passengers plus pilot, so you get a good view.
