5 Fun Catalina Activities to do in the fall

Catalina Island in the autumn is magical. Events are abundant, the weather is wonderful and there are plenty of things to do. Here are 5 fun Catalina Activities to do in the fall.

Kayaking: It’s almost always a good time for kayaking on the island’s peaceful waters. Sheltered from the surf, the leeward side of the island provides a calm environment where even novice paddlers can experience this popular adventure. Gliding over kelp forests and witnessing Catalina’s spectacular scenery is an activity you won’t soon forget.

Snorkeling: Warmed by the summer sun, Catalina’s waters are at their warmest in the autumn, making fall a perfect time for snorkeling. Beneath the surface, adventurers discover an exciting ecosystem brimming with marine life. Garibaldi, sheepshead and calico bass will surround you while amber fronds of kelp dapple the sunlight into a kaleidoscope of colors. Snorkelers can rent gear and explore Lovers Cove on their own or take a guided snorkel tour of the Casino Dive Park.
