Ocean Rafting 1/2 Day Trip - Catalina Express - Package #99 5:45 AM to 5:00 PM
Package Description:
Your package includes round trip cross channel transportation from Long Beach aboard Catalina Express. Once on the Island, you will join Catalina Ocean Rafting on its Half Day Excursion. This excursion is five different tours all wrapped up into one four hour adventure. We explore, on our power inflatables, about 30 miles of Catalina waters. About 15 miles are along the coastline and about 15 miles are offshore in search of dolphins. As we explore our pristine coastline we will stop to snorkel (gear provided), and if conditions are good, the Captain may let you swim one of our Islands sea caves. We may see Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Herons, and Red Tailed Hawks along our coastal route. We will stop at Two Harbors and let you explore this rustic island village. During our return trip to Avalon we search for pods of our resident dolphins. If we find a pod they will come right up to the boat to check us out. You may even be able to touch one!! The excursion includes your mask, snorkel, fins, along with soft drinks, bottled water, cheese and crackers.
