Ladies and gents. Catalina island is part of LA County. Meaning you don’t need anything to travel there. Just like you don’t need permission to go from West Hollywood to culver city. You just buy your ferry ticket, which 37.00 one way or 75.00 round trip. Your immigration status does not matter, again. It’s LA county, the sheriffs are the police there and LA county fire is the Fire dept there. Avalon is incorporated like weho, culver city, Santa Monica, Glendale, Etc. So in conclusion, go to Catalina and enjoy it. The people there are very sweet and welcoming. do the inland - island adventure if you’re not hiking in the conservancy. I hope this answers your questions, since I’ve been asked a lot. Cheers
Paulette Flores jaimes when you go. You’ll see that most of the people living there are immigrants. 66% of the habitants there are Mexicans, they have this whole history on how the island was originally Mexican territory( I have not looked into this so I can’t confirm) but lots of Latinos there. They’re friendly and welcoming , 90% of the jobs are service jobs. So very humble down to earth fellows there.
As a person who used to work on the ferry you took to the island, Catalina Express, one additional tip is be at the dock 30 minutes before your boat is suppose to depart. You arrive late and its the busy season, your ticket could go to a standby passenger.
Thank you so much for sharing these tips! Especially the snorkeling location! Can't wait to go to Catalina. Thanks so much again! You've been really helpful 👌
I appreciate how thorough in detailed you are with this video on Catalina island. I've always wanted to go so I definitely want to make sure I make a trip for my birthday this year. All the tips that you have are very helpful and now I feel like by watching this video I know exactly what I'm going to do when I get there. Thanks 👍
I love this! I’m trying to convince my husband to check out the island with me and it’s a lot easier when I have videos to show him what we can do while we’re there! 🤣
My wife & I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Catalina, Avalon just a few short weeks ago. Your video brought back the memories of alot of the places we also visited. Thanks for sharing, we'll be heading back again next year!
Great video of the island, very infornative! Been wanting to take my family there for a holiday. It makes it easier to plan for it! Thank You,all very much!
Geat video. I live in Downtown Long Beach and have never been to Catalin Island. It's on my bucket list to do, and your video made it more realistic, especially with all the useful tips. Thanks, bro.
Awesome job Ceasar and family! Thanks for the great video experience and the excellent tips. Much appreciated!! My family and I are planning a visit to Avalon soon.
Thank You for all the helpful tips, it was very useful to book a trip and ideas on what to do because we’re planning a trip there soon. God Bless You and your beautiful family 🙏🏽
@@Peace2dagawdz it was fun very beautiful we enjoyed the Safari ride where we saw the wild Buffalo 🐃 and toured the the whole island 🌴 and of course the beach 🏝 was nice 👍🏽
Did a great job this the 15 or so points, good video , interesting and fast moving. Never been there so this was a big help Thank You and congratulations on the addition to your family LOL
The snorkeling was so much fun and you won’t be disappointed. They have so much different kinds of fish to look at. It’s super relax and chill there. Perfect for a anniversary
I have a ferry ride at 7:50 am and a bison tour at 9:30am. How long is the boat ride from Long Beach to Catalina Island and how long is the dock from the bison tour reservation spot?
Enjoyed your video. I’m from the south and it’s been years since I’ve been to California. I’m planning on going this office for my birthday really on a budget. I know you mentioned coupons, but need some clarity. 2. Staying in Long Beach, but haven’t gotten a hotel yet. How do we get to the Ferry to go to Catalina? 2. Where do I actually go to get coupons for the ferry ride and for hotels? Thanks so much for the information!
The coupons were on a site called Groupon and the Long Beach hotels should be decent it’s the hotels on Catalina that you have to worry about. The hotels there charge big bucks in the summer time. Best thing is to prolly Uber to the ferry landing area
This video is fantastic. Not only informative but entertaining. I want to go to Catalina some day and you helped me figure out places to see. Thank you for such a great video. By the way, the two yearly pics? Thumbs up to both. You are a great looking couple.
I thoroughly enjoyed your vid . Thank you for sharing your tips love the before and after pics . Hopefully we will be going soon but staying on our boat.
If you’re gonna snorkel at lovers cove it’ll be easier renting from Wet Spot Rentals n that’s right where the ferries dock. If you r gonna snorkel behind the Casino u can rent from anywhere on The pier or Descanso Beach. I ended up buying my gear after renting a lot so the snorkel things in the video is my own. But I have rented from most of the places on Catalina.
We watch all Catalina vids. Tip number 11de7? Bring some frozen green peas when you are snorkeling! You don't have to build it.... the fish will come! Also.. darn.. we cant believe our boat was not in the vid... we are always in Descanso..... Cheers and great job... Smithzonian
Thanks for the vid man I pray the family is doing well ! 🙏🏽 I have a question about when it’s time to leave. Do we need to show up an hour early like the departure ? If so just to be prepared and plan my activities accordingly.
Yes at least one hour before. Sooner if you can so you get good parking and get checked in. 10:31 is right behind the casino and a great place to snorkel. Have fun!
Came here to Catalina, some time ago,had made calls for a Jeep, to visit yes,..Bison area for a ... painting! When , we arrived , Jeep was down!! Dissapointed...this guy said, .:" You're ready for adventure?? OK. I'm going to top off a Canyon for fly device, small business take off place. On the way up we have a retired male Bison in a Santuary. I'm like O.K., my friend went exploring elsewhere. Was a two seater Jeep. Well,...that ride was an experience with a lot off drops and hairpin road turns. I:" Do you do this all the time?!"... He , :" You Scared?! " ...Oh, no !!" Just terrified.!" He laughed, but slowed down so I could get some good shoot ( photo), off Bison. And , ended up with a great painting.🎨🖌️. Yes, from an old 📽️ film, and surprise a small Bison camp happened!!🗽🦅🇺🇸🇩🇰

Thank you so much for these tips. It’s so helpful 😀 😀 😊 !
Wonderful video, beautiful family :)
Thanks 😊
I left Catalina island like 2 days ago and now I miss it😔
I didn’t know the boats are running again.
I'm really digging the snorkeling. Not sure if I want to go for my anniversary, seems more like a chill and relax kind of place.
The snorkeling was so much fun and you won’t be disappointed. They have so much different kinds of fish to look at. It’s super relax and chill there. Perfect for a anniversary
@@CesarCinema will most definitely consider it. I dont have a wet suit lol.
You can rent one there
Yes you should definitely know how to swim before trying to snorkel
Can you snorkeling anywhere?
Gracias por la información! Muy buenos tips!!
De nada Leonor.
I have a ferry ride at 7:50 am and a bison tour at 9:30am. How long is the boat ride from Long Beach to Catalina Island and how long is the dock from the bison tour reservation spot?
I enjoyed watching your video. I lived on the west end and also at Two Harbors and Avalon
Nice. Thanks Ron.
Don’t really know why I watched this I’ve been to Avalon 1000x but these tip are actually good for new comers

I am going on the Baja California Cruise with carnival Pre Labor day, this is one of the ports of call. Very informative about the island.
Thanks Darin. I have a carnival Cruise tips video: ua-cam.com/video/l2RQQqBTvQY/v-deo.html
I've seen it, it's also great. It does help being a first time cruiser. However, I'm on the Carnival Imagination.
Another great way to get to Catalina is via Jetski2Catalina. Awesome adventure.
Awesome But you forgot about the botanical garden and the golf course LOL
I recorded that my last time there. I need to do an update
I thoroughly enjoyed your vid . Thank you for sharing your tips love the before and after pics . Hopefully we will be going soon but staying on our boat.

Great job! Nice trip taken vicariously.
Thank you
Best blog yet...super informative ..thank you
You’re welcome Kimber. What are you visiting Catalina?
