Climb into our unique, open-air, biofuel H1 Hummer for an unforgettable trip to the summit above Avalon. Traveling to 1,500 feet above sea level, you’ll enjoy a birds-eye view of romantic Santa Catalina Island and the ocean beyond. The open-air Ridgetop Eco Adventure travels five miles up rugged interior terrain, where you will experience spectacular views of the coastline and deep canyons below. Lined by beautiful eucalyptus trees, the Catalina Island hummer tour winds its way back along the Summit Road into Avalon. 10% of the proceeds go to support the Catalina Island Conservancy.
