Boat & Snorkeling Excursion from Catalina - Half-Day Description

We explore many secluded coves and beaches up close and personal including Willow Cove, Long Point, Goat Harbor, Rippers Cove, Blue Caverns, Two Harbors, and the Bat Cave.

We make various stops to allow photos and to enjoy the bald eagles, bison, harbor seals, dolphins, and many other coastal land and sea inhabitants.

Crystal clear waters surround Catalina and allow for great snorkeling. We provide all of your snorkeling equipment and full instruction, if needed. No experience is necessary as snorkeling is easy to learn. With 50 to 100 feet of underwater visibility, and abundant sea life, our special snorkeling spots are unsurpassed. We also have waterproof cameras available for great underwater photos.

We will visit the rustic village of Two Harbors at the West end of the Island. We dock and allow you to explore this pristine Island village or take short hikes along the cliffs to enjoy the ocean vista. You can also enjoy a bite to eat in the snack shop at Two Harbors although we provide plenty of complimentary snacks and soft drinks on board.

During our return to Avalon we head offshore two to four miles in search of dolphin. We have three different species of dolphin that inhabit our local waters. These mammals travel in large pods and are very curious and playful. Upon finding a pod your Captain will position the raft within the pod and allow you to get eye to eye with these beautiful creatures. During our early season (January to March) we may also encounter the migrating gray whales.

All participants must know how to swim, but snorkeling experience is not necessary.
