Well organized, easy to navigate and efficient experience. It was fun and the kids loved it. I would repeat.

The trip to Catalina Island was a real success both going and returning. The booking for this trip was very easy to booked through Catalina Express website.

Very easy and funny. My family and me enjoys the travel too much. I can recommend this agency aviator is security and funny.

The boat made an additional stop at twin harbor which caused the typical 1 hour trip to become 2.5 hours. We lost 1.5 hours which we could’ve spent on the island.

If you have an extra day and are looking for something to do outside of Los Angeles, a Catalina Island day trip is the perfect option. You can hop on board a boat and zip across to this breathtaking island. Once there, you can rent a golf cart and explore all the hidden treasures it has to offer. With 8000 years of history and culture, there is plenty to discover and learn about. Plus, the island has a variety of fun activities to offer, making it a great destination for a day trip.

Ok but dated boat interior. Take the same company but leave front long beach, seems more modern boat from LB and have special premium lounge.

It was my Husband’s first time ever to Catalina Island. The Catalina Express was comfortable and left on time. This was a great experience for both of us. We enjoyed our stay on the Island. Lots to see and do.
