Friday, May 18th - Optional day tour to Catalina
An optional day tour to Catalina Island is offered to all attendees and their guests. The day will begin with a boat trip, of around an hour, out to the Island. Guests will then have just over an hour to grab a bite to eat, before the Skyline Tour begins. This exciting 2hour 15min, narrated journey along the "Skyline Drive", travels ten miles into Catalina Island, where you can see spectacular vistas, deep canyons, and quiet ocean coves.
Once the Skyline Tour has finished, there will be downtime for guests to enjoy personal activities, such as kayaking or the Undersea Expedition, or have a peaceful wander around the shops and boutiques.
The return boat leaves the Island at 18:15 and arrives back in Long Beach at 19:15
The cost of the tour is $117 for adults and $105 for children. The price includes the boat to and from the island and the Sykline Tour, but, does not include lunch or any extra activities.
Please register and pay for the tour at the Registration desk.
