First time to Catalina Island

Two things I'd like to do while there. I'll be there for about 9 hours total, but only about 5 or 6 hours on the actual island.

There are 2 things I'd like to do: The Glass Bottom Boat or Semi-Submersible Tour.

The Glass Bottom Boat

This is one of the island's most popular excursions and it is something that the whole family can enjoy.

On this excursion you will:

² Explore the wonders of the underwater world from a state of the art, glass bottom boat.

² Listen as your guide narrates, feeds the fish and points out the different species of marine life.

² See creatures like the spectacular orange Garibaldi and the mysteriously disguised Leopard Shark in their natural habitat.

$19.00

Semi-Submersible Tour

Witness the underwater sights from a custom designed, state of the art semi-submersible vessel in the coastal waters of Catalina. This is a "premier" attraction and is exclusive to Catalina Island.

On this excursion you will:

² Feed the fish yourself from inside the vessel via the "Torpedo" button, another Catalina Island exclusive.

² Be entertained by your personal submarine guide with a special program and sound system, featuring fish and plant guide displayed on the 42 inch high definition flat screen.

² Experience this dramatic, exploratory underwater mission you can only get on the SS Nautilus.

$45.00

Both are about 45 mins long and if they aren’t at the same time, I could do both…and do a bit of land sightseeing as well.

But I’ll have to see what my money is like in a few weeks.
