Catalina Island and Snorkeling - Full-day Trip

Spend about 8 to 9 hours enjoying a relaxed day out on Catalina Island, one of those places people picture when they think of clear Caribbean water and easy beach time. From the start, the day is simple. You’re picked up from your hotel and taken to the departure point, so there’s no need to figure out transport on your own.

The boat ride out is part of the experience. As you head toward the island, the water changes color and the coastline slowly disappears behind you. Once you arrive near Catalina Island, it’s time to get into the water. Snorkeling equipment is provided, and you’ll have the chance to swim in a calm, warm sea. You’re likely to see coral and small tropical fish, depending on conditions that day. There’s no rush. You can take it at your own pace.

After snorkeling, the focus shifts to enjoying the island itself. You’ll have time on the beach to swim, relax, or just sit back and enjoy the view. A buffet lunch is served right on the island, along with an open bar offering unlimited domestic drinks. It’s casual and unstructured, giving you time to eat, cool off, and enjoy the setting.

A multilingual guide is around throughout the day to keep things organized and help when needed, but the experience is meant to feel easy and laid-back. The group size stays manageable, so it never feels overwhelming. By the afternoon, you’ll head back by boat and then return to your hotel, finishing a full day focused on water, sunshine, and unhurried island time.
