Welcome to Catalina Island

Just 29 miles offshore from the bustle of Southern California, Catalina Island brings visitors into another world. The Catalina Express passenger ferry gives access to this 22-mile-long island, a picture-perfect natural wonderland from the clear waters along the rugged shoreline to the 2,097-foot peak of Mount Orizaba, the island’s highest point. Established as a resort destination in the 1920s, the island’s only town is quaint and artsy Avalon. The rest of the island is a nature preserve, and the surrounding waters are a marine conservation area. City and island tours, wildlife and bird watching, glass-bottom boat rides, and a unique restaurant scene are top Catalina attractions.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
