5.00The 2 hour island tour was very interesting and informative on how Catalina Island became to be. I have only see bisons in movies lol but, luckily, we saw a couple.
Not worth it.

2.00Not worth the time or the money. The stop halfway at the airport is cool, but the tour guide was terrible along the way. She didn't tell us much about the history of the island, but did feel the need to tell us things like “the Chinese restaurant now has crispy noodles”. Didn’t tell us much more than a Google maps search. The ride is also really rough.
Fun For our kids B4 school

5.00Perhaps you could recommend to bring some eye protection for the unpaved part of the road. (Like glasses) . Otherwise the tour was awesome and informative ! We got a chance to see a bison too !
