I'm thinking going for my birthday next month. Don't want to take my vacation time though so I plan to go for only a day. I heard it was nice. I was also looking at the Channel Islands but it seems more rugged (no restaurants, stores), wilderness stuff. I love marine life so thats whats pushing me more. Things to do you guys/gals can recommend?

 

when i was in 6th grade with school. I remember having fun , but i was like 11 or so. I'd like to go deep sea fishing one of these days.

 

Catalina is more for couples,.old people and fishermen.. there is some stuff to do... but it can be a bit pricey. but you can go on a weekend and camp over night.. thats cool..
they have a few nice restaurants. and you can rent kayaks and some other things like golf carts and snorkels. other then that its not that much fun unless your rich... they do have an ok skate park...but I don't think you are going there to skate.''

I have never been to the Channel islands..but I bet it will be more what you are looking for...
just a pack a big lunch and lots of water kinda day`.

 

Catalina island? I've been there once. It's pretty damn small. I got sea sick on the ride over. There's a lot of "fixed up" golf carts there. lol

 

the bling carts rock

rolls royce ect

 

Make sure you take a boat tour on the Blanch W. Ask them if you can become part of the red dot club.

 

Camping on Catalina is nice. You can find out everything you need to know about the island, how to get there, what there is to do and so on on-line. Like everyone else said, it's pretty small, and you can see most of the island in 1-2 days. I would definitely recommend some sort of tour though, especially if you're into marine life.

Have fun - it's beautiful there in the summer!

 

Are you going alone? If so, that seems like a nice and relaxing way to spend your special day

 

Thanks guys/gals. I'll definately be taking a tour on the new submarine or the glass bottom boat, maybe both. And knowing my gambling ***, I'll be sure to visit the casino too. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Snap some pics too.


I will be taking sea sick pills ;D

Why does that sound scary?

No, I'll be with my girlfriend. Hopefully it won't go the oppisite way.

 

haha well good luck with the trip


the gf hmmmm well you need to go on the boys trip to vegas hehe

 

Thanks. Last time I went to Vegas I lost $400 the first night. Good times.

 

The glass bottom boat sank last week. The submarine is fun though.

 

does the submarine
go by the sunken ship

 

I'm going alone to Hawaii in September through my birthday. I can't wait to turn my cell phone off, leave my laptop at the hotel, and not have anybody bother me for a week. Absolute bliss!

Have fun on your trip!!

 

i have my people in place out there just let me know which island
