For the free Wednesday morning, you are welcome to explore the beautiful Catalina island. It is one of California’s Channel Islands with Mt. Orizaba as its highest peak of 2,097 feet (639 m). Catalina island is famous for its wildlife and especially its magnificent dive sites. So if you feel like discovering a little, there are plenty of activities to choose from. To be sure that there will be available spots as well as potentially receive a group reduction, we would suggest that you already book an activity. For some we can help making reservations, so you can register through us via the form below. For others please contact the vendor directly.

Diving

Organized dives are offered at the Casino point and will take you to the Kelp forest; a minimum of 10 certified divers are necessary to receive the group reduction price of 100$/person, including a guide and equipment. There will be one guide for each 4 people. Without the reduction it will be 120$/person.

First time divers can also come, but there will not be a group reduction as each diver needs one instructor on his/her first dive.

Gear rental - without guide - can be obtained for 75$.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling tours with a guide for 1 hr (personal time with the gear can be taken after that hour) are available at Lovers cove for 40$/pers if 20 people are forming a group.
