5.00We were looking for something different than Saona Island. I found this excursion on the www.alwaysdr.com and chose the premium lunch. And I'm so glad we did. Catalina Island is beautiful and food was amazing. With the premium lunch we had our own picnic table, chairs, umbrella, and full service. What a great time we had just hanging out on the beach and the turquoise water. This will be a "do again" in our book.
