About Catalina Tours
We’re Catalina Island’s local trip planners. Our team lives and works in Avalon, with more than 100 combined years on the island, and we use that knowledge to plan getaways that fit the way you want to travel. That might be a two-night escape for the two of you, a family reunion, or a company retreat for 200 or more.
Tell us when you’re coming and what you’d love to do, and we’ll handle the rest: ferry or helicopter, hotel, tours and activities, dinner reservations and island transfers. You get one plan and one team that knows which restaurant can seat your group, how long the bison tour really takes and where to find the best view of Avalon Harbor. If something changes once you’re here, we’re right down the street.
