    We had such a great time with Abby and Caitlin. They were just as fun as the zipline itself... true entertainers and also professional and skilled where it counts. Well done Catalina Island Co for hiring great people to staff your Zipline Tour!

    We lucked out with THE BEST guides in MJ & Sienna. On the bus ride up to the mountain, they were a font of knowledge about the local flora and fauna and answered all of our questions. Once at the zipline, these strong and confident young women made my group of 5 women feel secure and safe. And they made the whole experience more fun. The zip lining itself was magnificent, and the crew made it even better.

    Celebrated our 40th anniversary Zip lining with guides, Mary and Nicola. These young ladies are super friendly, knowledgeable, fun and make you feel safe when zip-lining with them. For my first time, I was happy with these two professionals. They made it a wonderful experience for both me and my husband! Catalina Zip lining is top notch in safety.

    Zip Line Tour- ask for Camille & Lily!!! For the love of all things exciting—DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE ZIP LINE ADVENTURE!!! Day 2 of our Catalina vacation, my best friend & I booked the zip line adventure. I’m not gonna lie—it’s pretty dang scary. But it’s a whole different ballgame when you get the most awesome dynamic duo of Camille & Lily!!! First, you get strapped up in your gear. These two were so sweet—asking us questions, being absolutely adorable. Then comes the safety spiel (dos, don’ts, stay alive, etc.)… which is a lot to take in when you’re already nervous. But Camille & Lily are calming forces. Suddenly, I was ready for that bus ride up the hill. Camille went across first—holy shiz, PROFESSIONAL. Then it was my turn. Lily walked me through it, I took a deep breath, stepped off the platform, and… IT WAS FRIGGIN MAGICAL!!! My best friend followed. We were screaming, & absolutely living our best lives!!! Each line was new. Each line was amazing in its own way. I felt safe, exhilarated, & ridiculously lucky that the universe paired us with these two incredible humans. We laughed. We screamed. We shared stories. And we had THE BEST time ever!!!!!! Thank you, Camille & Lily, for loving what you do and for being amazing humans in this big, crazy world. You two are doing it right. Thanks for manifesting “luck,” because we totally scored with you for our incredible zip line adventure.

    Definitely one of the highlights of our 3-day trip to Catalina. Ending our trip with this tour was the cherry on top. Nicla and MJ were the best guides!! They were clear and energetic, which made the experience less daunting and very enjoyable. We also saw a red-tailed hawk at the very first platform --too cool!

    Abby and Matt were amazing guides! They made the first tutorial simple and fun, which really helped us feel comfortable. Matt carefully followed all 10 safety steps before each zipline, and Abby was always there at the end to catch us safely. She also gave great feedback on our form and made sure we remembered how to slow down correctly when reaching the platform.

    We had the most incredible zip line experience on Catalina Island, thanks to the amazing Hailey and Megan! These two guides brought the perfect balance of fun, professionalism, and enthusiasm to the adventure. From the start, they made sure everyone felt safe and confident, which was especially appreciated by those of us who were a little nervous. Their clear instructions and calming presence made a huge difference, and before we knew it, we were soaring through the canyons with big smiles on our faces. Hailey and Megan didn’t just keep us safe—they made the trip unforgettable. They were so engaging and brought so much energy to the group that we couldn’t help but have a blast. Plus, they introduced us to a zip line move called The Pam, which quickly became the highlight of the day. If you’re headed to Catalina, do yourself a favor and ask Hailey and Megan to show you how to pull it off! Thank you, Hailey and Megan, for an unforgettable day of adventure. You’re the best!
