Snuba Adventure - Ocean Rafting - Catalina Express - Package #108
8:00 AM to 8:45 PM
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
 Your package includes round trip cross channel transportation from Long Beach aboard Catalina Express. Once on the island, you will check in at the Snuba counter at Descanso Beach for your Snuba Adventure. Snuba is like scuba diving but without all of the heavy and cumbersome gear. You can breathe underwater through a hose connected to a surface air supply and dive up to 20 feet below the surface. Its like snorkeling, but you can stay underwater without surfacing for air. The friendly staff will give you all the training you need to enjoy this activity. An instructor will also accompany you on your underwater adventure. No snorkeling or diving experience is needed to enjoy this activity, but you will need to know how to swim. The Snuba Adventure will last 1 ½ hours.
After your Snuba Adventure, it will be time to check in with Catalina Ocean Rafting for your two hour coastal power rafting excursion. We will explore about 20 miles total on our trip. About 10 miles will be along the coastline and you will enjoy secluded coves and beaches rarely seen by visitors to the island. Your captain will explain the geology of the island and will point out the Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals, Hawks, Herons and flying fish along our route. We will then head offshore in search of dolphins on our return trip to Avalon. If we find a pod of dolphins, they will come up to the boat to say Hi, and they might even let you touch them. Get your cameras out because dolphins love to do tricks in front of the raft to show off!
This package also includes a 10% discount coupon valid at selected Avalon restaurants.
