Santa Catalina Island Transportation

Transportation: Catalina Flyer

    Getting TO/AROUND: The fastest was to get to Catalina's Avalon Harbor from the mainland (except by helicopter) is the on the Catalina Flyer that leaves from Balboa Pier. It only takes 75 minutes for the trip. It's the largest catamaran on the West Coast and gives you a very smooth ride. There's a nice cocktail lounge with viewing windows and if you're luck y you may see a whale during their migration.

    Getting TO/AROUND: If you are in a hurry to get to Catalina, there is a helicopter that leaves from Long Beach (by the Queen Mary) or from San Pedro at the Catalina Terminal. It makes the trip in 14 minutes. It gives you a scenic tour of Catalina's coast.
