    Catalina Island truly has my heart, and this parasailing experience was unforgettable. As someone who loves adventure, being up in the air brought so much excitement and joy. The views were peaceful and stunning, and seeing the island from above was such a special experience. A quick tip, wear shorts. I wasn't fully prepared and you do get dipped into the water, but it honestly added to the fun. The staff was amazing and made everything feel easy and comfortable. This was such a beautiful and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend trying it if you visit Catalina.

    Loved loved LOVED the people who handled the boat ride and the parasailing. Very funny guys, but forgot their names. We went on April 9th. They were super helpful and nice with pictures and videos of us, and kept us laughing the whole boat ride to make us less nervous. Felt very safe with them.

    I would 100% recommend this place. We went in with open minds despite of the weather being gloomy. Our ride was set at 1:45 and the sky cleared up the weather was so beautiful not so extremely hot just perfect. The two gentlemen in the boat were very informative since entering the boat. They gave us specific instructions and through in a few jokes to easy the fear. Up in the air 800 ft with clear skies and a perfect view of the island. Coming down back from ride we got to experience a quick dip of the oven enough to get our feet well. Though it would be more of a scary ride but turn out to very blissful. I can't thank them enough for the experience.

    My boyfriend and I had so much fun! If you're hesitating just go for it! The ride is smooth and not scary at all. It's about a ten min flying time but so worth it! I do wish we got better pictures since they are pricey. We probably only got about three decent pictures.

    Parasailing in Catalina!

    Had the best time Parasailing with Parasail Catalina. The two guys made it very fun and comfortable for us. They explained everything in detail. Would definitely do this again.

    Sea Lions on the shore line

    We did a seal watching tour with them. Our granddaughters, 10yrs and 8yrs old loved it. So excited to see the Sea Lions and we also saw a harbor seal. Our Captain and his crew member were very friendly and knowledgeable about the Island and the sea life. Check them out if you have a chance to do an excursion from your cruise ship when stopping at Catalina Island. Highly recommend.

    Jack and David were the best! They were funny and made the whole experience better for everybody. My family had a really good time for the first time parasailing. We couldn't have asked for better!!

    I would give them more stars if I could, so much fun!!! The 2 gentlemen were funny, nice, and explained everything in full details. Would definitely go back and use them again!!

    Ask the Community - Parasail Catalina

    Can I add a passenger once I get there after booking online? I am only seeing 5 spots available for the time I need

    There's other passengers. You all may not fit on the boat if you don't book ahead of time.

    How much per person? And do we have to book in advance?

    It's about $65 per person. I suggest you book ahead. I've parasailed a few times with this company and it gets pretty busy. Although, there was a person who was in line that was booking spontaneously. Have Fun!!

So if you're on the fence or feeling anxious, this review is for you. We had Andrew as our guide and he was awesome. Before we even got on the open air hummer, he was very upfront that the ride would be bumpy and gave solid advice on where to sit if heights make you uneasy. That actually made me more nervous at first, but it turned out to be totally fine. The hummer never gets that close to the cliff edge, and it always felt controlled and safe. The views are unreal!!!!!! seriously breathtaking. We were lucky enough to see 2 bison, 2 Catalina foxes, 2 does, and a young buck. The tour before us saw zero bison, so we were thrilled. We even got to see them up close, which was incredible. As for the ride itself, I didn't find it nearly as bumpy as people make it sound. There were a few spots where the height felt a little sketchy, but in a "whoa" way, not a "nope, I regret everything" way. All in all, I'd absolutely recommend this tour. Don't let dramatic exit speeches scare you off, you'll be glad you did it. There's blankets available on the hummer in case you get chilly. Tips: - bring cash. TIP YOUR DRIVER!!!! - secure your hat and hair, so hat doesn't go flying off

    My kids love aquariums...and they love boats....so this seemed like a win-win, and it sooooo was!…read more We met the boat at the end of a small pier. The boat had an enclosed bench-seating area with all seats facing the center of the boat, which was made of glass and several feet below where we all sat. I was amazed by how clear the water was-even right next to shore. As we moved, our guide shared some local history and information about the marine life below us. We paused at several fish sanctuary locations, and the guide threw fish food into the water to attract more fish than we could count. The tour, which lasted an hour, was a delight for the whole family. All of the kids and kids at heart were thrilled by the many types of fish we saw. We were even fortunate enough to see a diving cormorant! The waves were not too bad on the day I went...even though my stomach usually gets queasy on smaller boats, this one didn't bother me. Maybe I was too entranced by the fish to notice. If I ever visit Catalina again and have time to do it, I'll be more than happy to go on this tour again. It was just long enough, and you never know what you'll see down there! Note--there is a public restroom at the beginning of the pier, but much of it was out of order, leading to some pretty long lines. Make sure you go before you get on the boat-no restrooms on board.

    Not worth it, boat rocks a ton making you nauseous while looking down. Can't see anything but water…read morebubbles. Ive done every type of tour on the island and this was the least favorite. Try the submarine tour.

The tour does an amazing job of hitting the highlights around Avalon, sweeping you up past the historic Catalina Casino, Lover's Cove, and all the way up to the incredible vantage points near Mt. Ada. The time absolutely flew by-the 50 minutes went by so fast because the narration was engaging and the views of the harbor below were stunning. It's a fantastic, quick way to get a layout of the island and soak in some great local history. The only real downside to note is that you aren't able to actually get off the vehicle to stretch your legs or take photos. Every picture has to be snapped directly from your seat in the open-air safari truck.

If you can't do even a few stairs at all with guard rails... then reconsider * On both tours you have the option to purchase fish food that brings sea life closer to the viewing window- cash only and so plan accordingly. *Fun for all ages

There is also a "Circuit" ride share that will take you around the island for $2 per person. Coming in by tender from a cruise ship is great. The docking area is in town and so close to everything. I exited the tender and walked along the waterfront where I passed a few children's playgrounds with a pirate theme. Then on to where the golf carts are rented. I walked to the pier (Green Pier) where there are bathrooms and many small shops all hoping for the tourist business. They carry the typical port souvenirs. After a long walk on this short pier I got to the end where there is many people fishing with poles and the little set ups they will sell you for a few dollars and the bait too. There are plenty of benches to sit and watch the boat come in and out of the harbour. There is a small beach area that has lots of pretty colored little rocks along the shoreline. The walk to the round Casino Building is pretty much the end of the road before a mountainside resort. I passed by some waterfront restaurants that were even crowded on a cloudy day. My walk back to the tender was quick and the ride back to the cruise ship was also pretty nice and calm.

He never rushed us and made sure we had plenty of opportunities for amazing photos and genuine wildlife sightings. We truly felt like we were seeing the island at its best.
