Your Captain and crew will explain the history and ancient lore of our colorful Island and point out its varied inhabitants. You will stop to enjoy and photograph the bald eagles, bison, and many other coastal land inhabitants. Learn about the geologic history of Catalina Island and its origins over 100 million years ago. We explore by water many secluded coves and beaches on the leeward side of the Island. You will visit Willow Cove, Long Point, Goat Harbor, Rippers Cove, Blue Caverns, Two Harbors and Emerald Bay. On the windward side of the Island, we explore Eagle Rock, Iron Bound Bay, Ribbon Rock, Catalina Harbor, Little Harbor, Salta Verde, The Palisades, Church Rock and Seal Rock. We may encounter, along our route, pods of dolphin, sea lions, harbor seals and in January to March, the migrating gray whales |
