Whether you are seeking a unique educational experience in the great outdoors or simply a relaxing eco-tour, we are certain you will go away with an unforgettable experience and a new appreciation of this place called Santa Catalina Island.

Your safety and enjoyment are important to the Catalina Island Conservancy. We use only open-air, customized eco-tour four-wheel drive jeep vehicles, operated by naturalist trained staff with four-wheel drive--off-road training. Due to the intense nature of this experience, all participants must be ambulatory. Anyone with neck or back injuries are discouraged from taking this tour.  Also children under 6 years of age and or under 60 pounds are not allowed on tours due to state DMV laws.
