This past weekend my honey surprised me with a weekend in Catalina island. He booked the sunset cruise we boarded the Redrum with captain John. My honey let the captain know as we boarded that he was going to propose to me and asked him to “take some pictures of us at sunset to make some awesome memories” we’ll captain John was amazing. He recorded the proposal for us and went searching for dolphins.. he did not give up and was on a mission to make this even more memorable than anyone could expect. He found dolphins and oh my god as if it wasn’t special enough a huge pod showed up and swam jumped and “played” with us for over a half an hour! Captain John was a great guy. Made this moment so unbelievably incredible. I highly recommend booking with this company!

Our tour was AMAZING. Captain promised no dolphins because of how strong the current was but we got to see many. I pointed out that I saw something in the distance and without a doubt started driving that way.

Captain Jon absolutely killed it; friendly and tenacious in finding wildlife. He asked the right people at the right points to find and naturally hang alongside a huge pod of dolphins. A truly great trip out on the water!

Captain Jason was by far the best!!! He made the entire tour. Very knowledgeable about the island and the animals. He was super sweet and patient with everyone, not to mention he has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour. The dolphins and sea lions are so beautiful, we got to get up really close to them. It was a great time!!

We can’t say enough good things about our dolphin and sea lion tour with Catalina Coastal Tours and Fishing. We checked in at their office and were led to the dock to board the boat. We honestly thought the odds of seeing dolphins were low, but then our guide (I wish I could remember his name) took us straight out into the water to a big group of dolphins. Being a local, he was very knowledgeable about island life and knew exactly where to find dolphins. He even took our group around to see some of the island’s beautiful coast where the sea lions hang out. This tour was our favorite part of our cruise’s stop at Catalina. If I could give 10 stars I would, we highly recommend going out with this company and if good weather allows, you’re in for a great experience!

Our boat captain Scott was very helpful and informative about the island, really friendly and nice, and made us feel very safe out on the water. Really cool guy and very easy to talk with. Seeing Catalina from the water gives a great perspective and this was a very personal tour we really enjoyed!

We did the sea lion tour with Brad and Dave on the Red Rum. It was an amazing experience. Brad and Dave were great and the sea lions were so cute. They put on a show for us. It was great and I highly recommend this tour.

We did the Dolphin / Sea Lion Tour on the boat RedRum. This tour is a must-do while in Avalon! It was reasonably priced and lots of fun! I would say the Sea lions are guaranteed, whereas the Dolphins are not. With that said, we were lucky enough to see a pod of Dolphins showing off for us. They were bow-riding, doing flips out of the water, and even "pairing up." The captain was a professional, kind-hearted dude who offered many fun facts about the sea lions and the dolphins. We were given ample time to take pictures and enjoy the ocean ride itself. I highly recommend this tour and look forward to my next visit. Big Thanks to Catalina Coastal Tours & Fishing!

We went out on the Dolphin / Sealion tour this afternoon. It was a surreal experience!. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was a 10/10 personalized experience that I highly recommend. It was worth the money and the dolphins swam right under our boat! The sea lions were easy to spot and curious. If you are looking for something fun to do in Avalon this is the thing to do!

On our last evening in Catina, we asked a local who they recommended to explore the ocean wildlife. We were fortunate enough to have Brent as our captain. He found a pod of several hundred dolphins that swam right along his boat! Truly an incredible experience. Also saw sea lions and seals. Would recommend this company without hesitation. He really took his time and seemed as excited as we were. Loved his energy and positive attitude!
