Catalina Island & Chavon River Day Trip

  • 4 reviews | 62 travellers
    They picked us up at the hotel and took us to the meeting center. There Marina took us to the boat and looked after us throughout the trip. There were a total of 7 people and Marina created a great atmosphere. We were among the first to arrive at the snorkelling spot and from there to see the starfish. The food was good and plentiful. During the Chavon River crossing, Marina told us many interesting things and we had a great time dancing on the boat. We had a great day.

Catalina Island & Chavon River Day Trip

After picking you up from your hotel first thing in the morning, we'll board a sailing catamaran that will take us to Catalina Island. Once on the boat, we'll sail to this little piece of paradise for about 40 minutes while marvelling at the piercing blue of the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

Once we've reached our destination, we'll head directly to the coral reef known as La Pared, or The Wall, where you'll have the opportunity to cool off with a refreshing dip in the sea and snorkel amongst the incredible marine life. Spend 40 minutes exploring underwater, before returning to the catamaran and dropping anchor at the dock on Catalina Island.

With your feet on dry land, you'll be taken to a small restaurant with stunning sea views, where you'll be treated to a delicious buffet lunch. With renewed energy, you'll then have two and a half hours of free time to make the most of the paradise white sand beaches. Whether you prefer to relax and sunbathe or try a fun activity like paddle surfing, you'll enjoy an unforgettable afternoon.

Back on the catamaran, we'll approach a totally different landscape. Famous scenes from Rambo II and King Kong were filmed on the Chavón River! The natural scenery will blow you away.

Finally, we'll make our way back along the coastline, spotting the villas of the multimillionaires. We'll end the excursion by returning by boat to the port and dropping you off at your accommodation.
