Save and Share for your next trip to Catalina Island. The easiest way to reach this island paradise in just about an hour, is by ferry with Catalina Express. We boarded from Long Beach, California for a smooth and quick ride to Avalon. We recommend you upgrade your tickets to the Commodore Lounge for an even more enjoyable experience. You board first, have a private seating area inside, and get a complimentary snack and drink. With multiple routes daily, you will find a time that works for you. They do sell out often, so make sure to get your reservations in advance. Just 22 miles away, you can do this adventure as a day trip but for a more relaxing and romantic experience, I recommend 2 nights. Looking to visit Catalina Island? Dm me to get a free quote. I have been 3 times recently and always love switching to island time once I step off the ferry. Comment “Catalina” and I will send you my travel guide.
