Ocean Tours

A great way to experience the beauty of Catalina is by getting out on the crystal clear water that surrounds the island, much of which is a protected marine preserve. It's not uncommon to spot dolphins, whales, sea lions, and an array of fish, including California flying fish and bright orange Garibaldi, California's official marine fish.

Hop aboard our Ribcraft boat and head off in search of bow-riding dolphins and playful sea lions on the Ocean Expedition. Get up close and personal with the friendly fish of Lover's Cover Marine Preserve on the Undersea Expedition or Glass Bottom Boat Voyage.

Enjoy a nighttime cruise along the coast as you go in search of California's world-famous flying fish on the Flying Fish Voyage (seasonal) or head to the island’s west end aboard the Cyclone power boat and Discover Two Harbors. Our Avalon boating adventures depart from the Green Pleasure Pier.
