See the "real" Catalina. There’s nothing like an exciting journey through Catalina's pristine wilderness aboard a rugged, open-air 4x4 Hummer H1. You’ll get an intimate feel for Catalina’s unique topography as you cruise the ridge around rugged canyons up to 1,500-foot East Peak.
From there, you'll travel along Divide Road, where you'll enjoy spectacular ocean and canyon views of both sides of the island. You might even spot bison, deer or other animals on this unforgettable adventure.
