Wilder Together: Gather on Catalina
Trade the autumn leaves for an ocean breeze under a palm tree and head to Catalina Island this November for an unforgettable escape. Whether you’re planning a pre-holiday family reunion, gathering your group for a bachelorette bash, or simply seeking a little adventure before winter sets in, Catalina is the perfect destination to reconnect with nature—and each other.
American Bison: A Wild Island Experience
In honor of National Bison Day on Saturday, November 1, 2025, we’re celebrating Catalina’s most iconic island residents all month long. Take a ride on the popular Bison Expedition, where you’ll journey into the island’s rugged interior for a chance to see these majestic animals up close. The bison have roamed Catalina for over 100 years, and there’s no better way to experience this living history than from the comfort of an open-air hummer. After the tour, stop by one of our restaurants for the classic Buffalo Milk cocktail, the drink created in Two Harbors that has become an island staple.
Group Getaways Just Got Better
November is the perfect time to escape and celebrate with friends, family, or that special someone before the holiday season kicks into full swing. With high-end accommodations and a wide range of experiences, Catalina is ideal for group events like bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, or multi-generational getaways.
Stress less with delicious dining options like the newly-opened Pier 24 on Avalon Bay. Enjoy a large and airy dining area with large picture windows looking out onto the harbor as well as outdoor, oceanfront seating, and a carefully curated menu of burgers, pizzas, seafood, and more!
With over two-dozen tours and experiences, there is plenty to do for the whole group, too. For a more laid-back getaway, take a relaxing tour around our idyllic town with the Discover Avalon Tour. For something more adventurous, hop on the highly-rated Zip Line Eco Tour or the Aerial Adventure obstacle course. Traveling with a history buff? Explore the historic hidden ranch in the island’s interior on the Western Horse Showcase (view this reel to learn more!) or the Catalina Casino.
You can also get outside on National Take a Hike Day on Sunday, November 17, 2025 and explore the miles of lush trails, native plants, and exciting animals the island has to offer.
