What to Expect

People are taking to the trees on the Catalina Aerial Adventure, a unique and alluring outdoor experience at Descanso Beach Club, SoCal’s favorite island entertainment and adventure destination. The Catalina Aerial Adventure is just a short stroll from the ocean, but you’ll feel like you’re deep in the woods, as you climb, swing and slide from tree to tree on a series of obstacles suspended in a grove of towering eucalyptus high above the canyon floor.

This aerial adventure includes five self-guided, self-paced courses—each made up of rope ladders, log bridges, balance beams, zip lines and other challenging elements—that are arranged in beginner (2), intermediate (2) and advanced (1) configurations, offering aerial excitement for everyone, regardless of skill or athletic ability.

The Catalina Aerial Adventure was the highlight of our trip. The staff providing the orientation and support during the experience were knowledgeable & helpful. My teenager & I had a blast navigating through the trees. We can't wait to visit Catalina again & try the advanced courses
