Spring Breezes on Catalina Island at The Avalon Hotel
Spring on Catalina Island can be magical.
An unusually high rainfall this year is sure to bring a super bloom of wildflowers, including lupin, indian paintbrush, poppies, mariposa lilies and bush sunflowers to the interior of the island. Plus the rugged hills will be lush with tall grasses, scrub oaks and flowering cacti as mule deer, Catalina fox and the ever popular American bison roam the pristine, wild interior. Guests can trek into these wildlands via the Trans Catalina Trail (TCT), a guided Jeep Eco Tour or via mountain bike through the help of Bike Catalina.
Or get a unique vantage point from a 2-3 hour sailing charter aboard a 36 foot sailboat with Catalina Adventure Sailing that can cruise up the coast past lush canyons where American bald eagle nest or see pelicans fly in formation as they patrol for bait fish and pods of dolphins, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, will flank the boat and dance an underwater ballet as they surf the bow swell of the boat as it motors up the coast towards the majestic Long Point and keyhole rock.
Or perhaps journey south east towards the east end of the island to sail past a sea lion rookery and past Church Rock just in time to see the sun dip below the distant south Pacific’s horizon while enjoying a glass of wine and light refreshments.
All this can be enjoyed by contacting the helpful innkeepers at The Avalon Hotel who will help put together a custom Spring Breezes on Catalina Package that will include:
