Stay and Play
Extend your stay for the weekend to attend both days of OktoberFlx. You could also trade your stein for a chaise lounge pair or beachside cabana at Descanso Beach Club and relax among the swaying palms on Sunday. Feeling adventurous? Soar above scenic canyons on the Catalina Island Zip Line Eco Tour or venture into Catalina’s rugged interior on the Bison Expedition.

With a Boat & Hotel Package, all you have to do is choose your accommodations and boat schedule, hop on the ferry, and create your own Catalina Island experience. Catalina Express boats depart from San Pedro, Long Beach and Dana Point.
Whether you're raising a stein with friends, competing for bragging rights in the steinholding competition, or simply looking for a memorable Catalina Island getaway, OktoberFlx 2026 offers a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate fall.
Book your boat and hotel package, gather your crew, and join us September 12-13. Prost!
