Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your tour starts in Avalon, where you'll meet your driver-guide and hop aboard your Hummer. 

Set off along Pebbly Beach Road, taking in views of the rocky coastline, and start climbing up as you turn onto East End Road. The views continue to get better; if it's a clear day, you might be able to see San Clemente Island in the distance. Next, enjoy a view of Avalon Canyon, and head toward the summit overlook, passing by Wrigley Reservoir.

From the overlook, enjoy a photo op of the leeward side of Catalina Island, the San Pedro Channel, Avalon, and possibly even the mountains of mainland California on a good day. Then head back toward sea level as you drive past the eucalyptus trees of Stagecoach Road to reach Avalon, where your tour ends at the starting point.

The wilds of Catalina Island

We thought the ride was amazing. Cindy Lowe was a terrific guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and the people who lived there. The sunset was magical. I would highly recommend this trip and would ask for Cindy Lowe if possible. Ask her to tell a few jokes. I can’t wait to go back again.

Paid for tickets on viator since it's a 3rd party you do NOT have preference over cruise ships that get there.. my ticket was moved to 3pm after buying it for 930am. So I did not go and lost the amount paid. DO NOT BUY HERE!

It was very scenic but too bumpy and caused several riders to suffer from motion sickness. I was given 4 tickets in error at the ticket booth so please make sure I am only charged for 2.

My wife and I had an amazing experience yesterday on the Ridgetop excursion. Our driver and guide, Cindy, was an exceptional and exciting driver, very knowledgeable on the island history and animals, and was super funny. She played great music, Raiders of the Lost Ark, at the appropriate time. She spotted a Bison in the distance and drove us to take pictures - not part of our excursion. We will share our experience for a long time. Thank you!!

Scenic ride in a Hummer. Open sides let the breeze in. Great views of the ocean, hills, and Avalon. A little bumpy but in a fun way.
