What people are saying about Catalina Island

I loved! Catalina Island was better than Saona Island… super clean and we spent quality time, sun loungers and food included and good! The guide was very good, he would look for marine animals for us to see… I really loved it. On repeat

Competitive price compared to those offered by the hotel and the “locals” Good overall atmosphere Magnificent setting + beautiful spot for snorkeling Too bad for the weather (a little rain on site) but independent of the organizer

Great service, good food, we had a lot of fun and the weather was fantastic. However, it makes me sad that the corals no longer have any color and the fish are dying. Save the ocean!!!

The trip was really great… everything went really well from the transfer to the boat trip, the food and the guides… I would be happy to do it again… highly recommended….

Fantastic staff! they are very nice and have a Latin heart, dancing and singing all the time. always available. Fantastic beautiful water activities on the island
