    1. Catalina Island

      This jetski adventure is for the more refined experience. You will depart Long Beach with your guides on your Seadoo headed across the open ocean to the quaint city of Avalon on Catalina Island. Experience dolphins and sealions on your way to this beautiful town. Once you arrive, you have a plethora of options to choose from during your 3 hour stay, including parasailing, golf cart rental, and numerous restaurants and shops to occupy your time.

    Amazing trip!

    My wife and I went on the trip and had a great time. The guides are awesome, they are helpful, and make sure everyone was having fun, they found a pod of dolphins for us to view and ride along side of them. Big thanks to all three of the guides. I would definitely recommend it and would do it again.

    Fun, but not easy

    My husband and I embarked on this adventure with another couple who aren’t quite adventurous as us. We all had a great time on the way to Catalina, and hanging out on the island. The way back was a different story. The whole way was white caps with intense bouncing and catching air. As the passenger princess, my a$$ cheeks will never be the same. I would think it’s like riding a bucking bronco for two hours with someone throwing a bucket of salt water in your face every 5 seconds. We are all sore and tired today, but we’re really glad we did it (at least my husband and I are, lol). It was a cool thing to do, and the guys taking care of us were great, but you need to know going into this it is not easy. It’s fun, but it’s not easy, especially if you have any back problems. That being said, it was a great adventure! Highly recommend trying it out.

    Incredible experience - a must do!

    What an amazing experience! I have been wanting to do this for the past 3 years, and I am so glad I finally returned to L.A. to do it. Everything about it was just incredible…. especially our guides and the tons of dolphins we rode with on our way back from Catalina! Just make sure to allow for a recovery day afterwards, as it is a full body workout! I did the Two Harbours trip (with the snorkelling add-on), and I fully intend to return within the next couple of years for the Avalon trip (with the parasailing add-on)!

    Exhilarating, amazing, and unforgettable! We had the greatest time. Saw several dolphins and a sunfish!

    This is a must!! The ride to and from Catalina was very feasible, and the guides were fun, respectful, funny, and knowledgeable.

    Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Long Beach.

    How much does Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $640 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Long Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Long Beach is not rushed.

    Is Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Long Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Long Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Long Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jetski Adventure: Guided Trip from Long Beach to Catalina Island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Long Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Long Beach?

    +

    Long Beach runs whale watching out of Rainbow Harbor, Queen Mary tours and ghost walks, harbour cruises, Catalina ferry connections and coastal bike rides. On Outty we rank every Long Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Whale Watching Tour from Long Beach, Skip the Ticketing Line: Aquarium of the Pacific General Admission Ticket, Shared 8-Hour Los Angeles City Sightseeing Tour from Long Beach. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Long Beach?

    +

    Year-round whale watching; May to October for the best harbour weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Long Beach?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
