Island Reviews

“Catalina Express has never disappointed me, there on time and the cabin personnel are experienced, helpful and efficient. Going to Catalina is half the fun because your vacation starts at the pier. Catalina Express starts and ends my Catalina experience in style.”

“The Catalina Country Club has one of the best views on the island of green hills, tall mountains and the blue Pacific just beyond. The club’s chic dining room has stunning views, elegant décor and perhaps the best gourmet food on the island. The chef cooks mostly free-range meats and uses organically-grown produce for such dishes as New Zealand rack of lamb and horseradish-crusted wild salmon.”

“The best tour of the interior is the Inland Motor tour. This 32-mile excursion around the island stops at the “airport in the sky” (a tiny airstrip on a hill), El Rancho Escondido, Wrigley’s old Arabian horse ranch, and an overview of Two Harbors. Keep an eye out for Island foxes, mule deer and some 400 buffalo, descendents of the 13 brought over in 1929 film "The Vanishing American."

Pier to Peer

“I was surprised to hear the Captain announce that our journey would only last an hour and fifteen minutes. The ocean was calm and the ride was smooth and surprisingly fast. The galley on board had everything we could want from coffee to snacks and meals. The morning was beautiful and soon we couldn’t count the number of dolphins we saw on the channel crossing. It almost seemed too soon as we docked in Avalon.”
