Catalina Island holds a special place in the hearts of locals and tourists alike, but how many of these professed admirers actually get into the island’s interior? Don’t settle for seeing just the touristy areas, take a Catalina Island Jeep® Eco-Tour, and discover the rich biodiversity of this green getaway!

Settle yourself into an open-air jeep, and strap on your seatbelt. Your vehicle may be headed off-road! Let your naturalist guide drive you into the remote places of the island that visitors often don’t see. As you cruise along scenic dirt roads, keep a sharp outlook for some of the area’s beloved wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may spot a rare Santa Catalina Island Fox, which can only be found on this island, or even a Bald Eagle flying high in the sky above. Is that… a bison? Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, Catalina is home to its own herd of American Bison, decedents of an initial band of fourteen left here after a movie shoot!

While you’re certain to be on the hunt for animal friends, don’t forget to pay attention to the wealth of other natural and historical wonders you will pass. Some of the plant communities you will investigate only grow on Catalina, and there are archaeological sites that cover almost 6,800 years. Copy by Zerve.
