Catalina Island Day Trip from Anaheim with Undersea Adventure

3.0 (3 reviews) · By Extreme Tours by Karmel

Escape the city for a day and explore the stunning Catalina Island, just a short ferry ride from Los Angeles. Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by a scenic 1-hour ferry trip across the Pacific to this picturesque island. Once there, you'll have free time to wander, relax on the beaches, or enjoy the charming town of Avalon.

One of the highlights is the 45-minute undersea adventure, where you'll cruise in a climate-controlled cabin just five feet below the surface. Discover Catalina's vibrant marine life with the help of a live guide who points out interesting sights along the way. After your underwater tour, you can explore further, grab lunch, or try water activities like kayaking or snorkeling at the beach.

In the late afternoon, you'll board the ferry back to Long Beach and be transported back to your hotel. This day trip offers a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and beautiful scenery, making it an ideal escape from the city.
