Hey everyone! I've been craving Mediterranean Sea summer vibes, and I definitely got a taste of it on my two day trip to Catalina Island. Located only 22 miles off the coast of Southern California, Catalina Island is a fantastic destination for a day trip or a multi-day vacation. There is so much to see, do, and explore here, from bison tours, sport fishing, parasailing, scuba diving, sunbathing at Descanso Beach Club, fine dining, hiking, camping, and so much more.
A huge thank you to Visit Catalina Island (www.visitcatalinaisland.com) for hosting us!

I really like the editing style! It showcases the destination really well. I do feel like the narration seems a little rehearsed, but overall loved the feel of the video!

Mark! Think I met you at the bar lol I appreciated the recommendation to check out the dive park before we headed out to Spearfish. We scored some bonita and a couple yellow tails on the sail and the bonita were BOILING just south of Avalon 👊🏿

2 day stay on the island seems like a teaser. The spa alone is half the day of relaxation and relaxation. Restaurants that serve catch of the day is simply heaven. Not to mention if your with that special someone, that’s half of the second day morning ordering room service with all the yummy island food. Great video, I go for broke on the island with five day stay. 🥂

Lived in LA my entire 64 year life, and it is amazing how many LA natives have never been to the island. Best time is in the fall and winter, A little cool, but very few people, clear skies. When I had my boat i went every Friday til Monday for 10 years.

as a socal kid since when i was born, catalina island has been a massive part of my childhood and all the other kids in the area. ive gone there every year since i was in kindergarten. one of the middle school camps i went to is just one mountain away (literally right next to) avalon. hiking there every year is so much fun and catalina is really just such an underrated and beautiful place to visit in catalina. my brother is in avalon with his girlfriend too right now and in the same hotel, when worlds collide really. i recommend catalina to anyone who is visiting socal!

I was on Catalina in March, just before things got all COVID-y, and your video was an awesome way to catch up on how things are now. The Atwater is a great hotel, with very kind, caring staff -- and I think they have bikes available (next trip!) Your underwater shots were *amazing* and the "just walking around" reflected my favorite part of my stay, too -- cute houses, gardens and views are everywhere, and nothing is very far away. Thanks for a great job!

Taking my daughter and her boyfriend there on a day trip for her birthday. As a kid we would take the SS Catalina steamship. While the boat was docking people would throw coins in the water for kids to catch and dive for. I figured I could do that & get rich! Grew up and worked as an engineer instead. Great place to visit & thanks for sharing your trip and giving us some up to date info!

I’ve been to Catalina on a school trip, to the USC Wrigley Institute of Environmental Studies, it was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I was crossing my fingers to get accepted into their summer internship program, but unfortunately due to the pandemic they had to push it back. So this video made me happy and brought back memories of my trip there! I haven’t been to that side of the island yet, but I’m excited to go someday 🌊💙✨🙏🏼 I also had the opportunity to go snorkeling and witness the beautiful kelp forests, it’s literally an underwater forest😍

Indeed, I had the pleasure of visiting this island back in 2010 and I can TRULY say that I enjoyed ever minute I was there! I mean, it seems as if you've left the US and arrived in a foreign country but, you're right off the coast of Long Beach, CA. There's a LOT to do and the island has some of the BEST views on the planet I would say! I'm in the process right now of trying to plan a return trip there REAL soon hopefully!! 😀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👍🏾❤💯

Recommend visiting Friday Harbor up in the San Juan Islands someday (and Orcas Island). Friday Harbor is sort of like the Avalon of the Pacific Northwest, an adorable little marina town on an island. All the best,
