Catalina Island! Please help :-)?

Question

Hello,

I am going on a cruise and will be stopping in Catalina Island for the day. I will be hanging out on the beach/jet skiing all day in Ensenada(our other stop). What would you recommend that is a bit different? I was thinking renting a golf cart or glass bottom tour. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you can go to the airport on the island and get a buffalo burger.

Answer 2

Personally, the golf carts are expensive,  They are a number of tours you can do on the island.  I'm not a big tour person, but the Casino Tour is great.  Its a unique building and a unique part of Catalina's history.  I recommend.  I also did a glass bottom boat tour with my boyfriends' kids.  It was fun, not earth shattering, but fun.  There are also tours that take you around the island.  I haven't done these, but they look interesting.  On the way up to Wrigley Memorial there is a nice botanical garden. I also rented a small boat once and cruised around the harbor and out around the island.  loads of fun.  The rental shops are all on the pier.

Its also a nice place to walk around, shop and have an ice cream cone.

Hope this helps!

The golf carts are not expensive, they run around $30 an hour.  An hour is plenty of time on a golf cart there. you can take them all the way to the top of the mountain to see the views. the glass bottom boat tour is pretty lame.  if you want a boat ride try the submarine its a little better than the glass bottom boat.
