Great way to see highlights if Avalon - We took this tour to get the most in a few hours visit to Catalina Island. Our tour guide Cindy Lowe was funny and very informative and kept our big group engaged and entertained. Scenic stops high atop the mountains afforded excellent photos of our visit. Great way to spend about an hour and half getting to know Avalon. She was awesome. Thanks.

Love Catalina Island 😍 - There’s not a single bad thing I can say about this island, everything is beautiful. The hotel was excellent and very clean, with two free bottles of wine, and the young man who greeted us when we arrived from the ferry with our luggage was very kind. Everyone in the shops and restaurants truly looked happy, and their attitude was amazing! The tour staff were super friendly and fun! Our favorite person was Cindy Lowe from the Bison Tour 🦬 , she was incredible. This is the kind of island you never want to leave if you love nature. We saw lots of bison, foxes, squirrels, and deer! It honestly feels like being in a tiny little country 😍. We love it!

Great day trip starter - We arrived at 11am at Avalon for a day trip, leaving at 7pm. We decided to begin with this tour. Our guide was Carlos, and he was jovial and informative. It was a great way to learn quickly about the island community and use that knowledge for planning the remainder of our day.

Very enjoyable tram tour! - Comfortable aboard the open air tram, could hear the driver’s comments well through the speaker system onboard. Enjoyed what our driver/guide shared. Laura was excellent! After walking all over the town, it was very nice to ride the tram tour up higher in the hills, and see the views of Avalon down below us. I would take this tour again!
