Crystal clear waters surround Catalina and allow for great snorkeling. We provide all of your snorkeling equipment and full instruction, if needed. No experience is necessary as snorkeling is easy to learn. With 50 to 100 feet of underwater visibility, and abundant sea life, our special snorkeling area is unsurpassed. We also have waterproof cameras available for great underwater photos

Catalina Ocean Rafting ~ Snorkel Catalina waters - chase Dolphins - watch Whales and enjoy a tour along the Catalina Island coast COR_tDuring our return to Avalon we head offshore two to four miles in search of dolphin. We have three different species of dolphin that inhabit our local waters. These mammals travel in large pods and are very curious and playful. Upon finding a pod your Captain will position the raft within the pod and allow you to get eye to eye with these beautiful creatures. During our early season (Jan-Mar) we may also encounter the migrating gray whales.

During the winter months when the water is too cold to snorkel we shorten this trip to three hours and cut out our snorkeling stop. We also adjust the trip fare to reflect the shorter duration of the trip.
