5Fun trip from bottom to top of Catalina Island
This is a fun tour that gets you around the island from bottom to top to bottom again with terrific views. Some areas we went to would have required a hiking or bicycle permit and taken long hours. Our tour guide Bear drove us all around, and told us stories about life on the island and its history.
5Mountain Top Views
My husband and I did the Lands's End tour with Cindy as our guide. It was such an awesome tour. We saw the island from bottom to top, the drive and biews were so exciting. Lots of beautiful photo opportunities, Cindy L. made the tour very special with her unique witty style. Cindy not only provided a history of the island but of the locals, including herself. If you ask nicely, she me even sing for you. The tour is an excellent value: you see Catalina Island from the highest points, you feel like you're on top of the world. The drive can be bumpy, like a roller-coaster, very exhilarating. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Cindy.
5An unforgettable island tour
Cindy Lowe is a fabulous tour guide who enthusiastically shares her extensive knowledge of the island’s history and its plants and animals. A natural entertainer, Cindy captivates passengers by weaving humor and witty banter into her discussions to create an unforgettable tour for all. I’m so glad we went and look forward to another tour with her!
5Got to see lots of Bison up close
Great tour. Showed us a lot of the island and very knowledgeable.
5Exciting Adventure You Don’t Want To Miss
This was a fantastic ride in a hummer with our driver, Andrew. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. The hummer held about 10 people and we were driven to the crest of the hills on Catalina Island. Andrew had the correct music to go along with every dip, turn, bump and dive. This is an off road trip with an experienced driver. Folks who are afraid of heights or cannot tolerate bumpy roads should not take this trip. For everyone else, it is an adrenaline rush with magnificent views of the island. I highly recommend this adventure. It was one of my favorite excursions and I am a worldly traveler. We were lucky enough to see a male bison up close and personal. .

About Catalina Island
Catalina Island is a mountainous island off Southern California, with a harbour town, wild bison, a protected interior and clear kelp-filled water.
Catalina, or Santa Catalina Island, lies about 35 kilometres off the coast of Southern California, a rugged island of hills and canyons with a mild Mediterranean climate. The harbour town of Avalon fills a small bay, with brightly painted houses, golf carts instead of most cars, and the round white Casino building from 1929, which holds a ballroom and a cinema. The island was home to the Tongva people before the Spanish explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo landed in 1542.
