The experience

Avalon sits on hills, and most tours mean climbing them. This one keeps you in a large-capacity golf cart with a professional local guide who drives while you take in the bay views and the town's layout from a seat. The guide stops at spots worth exploring on foot (you get out, look around, ask questions), then back in the cart to the next one. Two hours is enough to hit the main sights and the quieter corners locals know, without the time lost to navigation or the ache in your legs at the end of the day.

The guide speaks English and knows Catalina's history and the way people live there now. You'll see and hear facts about the island as you move through it, and the cart gives you chances to stop, touch things, smell the air (the sensory parts of travel that matter) without the logistics of figuring out which street goes where or whether the next hill is worth the climb. The guide handles the route. You handle the looking.

Pickup is included, and the price covers all fees and taxes, so there's nothing to add at the end. The cart holds up to five passengers, so it works for a couple, a small family or friends traveling together. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller if you bring one, and specialized infant seats are available if you need them.
