Overview

Skip the loud, rattling gas engines that drown out the ocean breeze. On this private two-hour adventure, you'll cruise in brand-new golf carts designed for smooth, near-silent comfort.

There’s seeing Avalon… and then there’s experiencing it. Explore Catalina Island in our brand-new golf carts alongside a year-round local who loves sharing it, easily chatting in premium comfort without shouting over a noisy engine.

Expect sweeping hilltop views, sparkling harbor panoramas, hidden streets, and scenic overlooks that make you reach for your camera. When the light is perfect or a view deserves a pause, we stop. No rushing. No monotone script. Just real stories, real island insight, and a guide who brings the place to life.

This private experience blends must-see highlights with hidden gems many visitors miss. Relaxed but never boring, entirely private, it revolves around you. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave with memories that stay long after the smooth ride ends.
