This is a unique bucket-list adventure, and is stunningly jaw-dropping, no matter which part of the island you are on! Expect a gorgeous coastal location and discovering the islands protected wildlife, all with a private view of the clear blue ocean. Just off the coast of Southern California. Catalina Island offers views of rugged peaks and canyons, along with expansive views of the Pacific ocean every step of the way. This is one of the most unique camping experiences you can find in the United States.

Trip Details:

This weekend away is the break you need to rejuvenate yourself, put your mind at ease and let our UD hosts handle everything for you so you can reach the peak of peace. We will be diving into the islands wildlife as we snorkel among the oceans inhabitants and joining mother nature as we spend the day hiking to one of Catalina's best beaches to kick up our feet.

Itinerary:

Thursday:  Ferry over and setup for a gorgeous and social first evening

Arrive at San Pedro Catalina Express Terminal with your belongings. Ferry leaves on time, and won't wait for late arrivals. We will be taking just over an hour long ferry ride from San Pedro to Two Harbors. From there, we will get off the ferry and walk 3 minutes to the campground. We will be arriving at our campsite by 2:30 pm, giving us enough time to set up camp and explore before cooking up a storm!

Friday:  Snorkeling with the group or take a private SCUBA trip

After enjoying an amazing sunrise and breakfast.  We have our first full day! We fully plan to embrace the island lifestyle, so we won't be adhering to any strict schedules. We'll start the day off with a hot breakfast, allowing everyone to slowly wake up. Then, around midday we'll make our way down to the beach, just in time for a light lunch under the hot summer sun. Today we'll be swimming with the fishes as we dive into island snorkeling - wet-suits and equipment are included so no need to bring your own unless you'd like to! Once we've had our fun in the glistening ocean, we'll head back to camp for a much needed rest. Towards the evening we'll cook up an awesome dinner around our first campfire and watch the sun set as the stars take over the sky.

Saturday: Explore the gorgeous island with a serene hike to the famous Shark Harbor

This will be our busiest day with a hike to the picturesque secluded cove of Shark Harbor, which is renowned for its natural beauty and tranquility. So it's important you get some rest the night before! We will have breakfast and head straight out at 8:30 am sharp. Of course we will be taking many breaks for water, snacks, lunch, and photo ops as needed! Along the way we will have views of coastal cliffs and the ocean. Check out some photos of Shark Harbor below! This hike is quite tough (so make sure to bring your hiking boots and other necessities), but don't worry, the location is worth the trek and you'll have plenty of time to reset in the clear waves of the ocean before heading back to camp. To treat ourselves after all of that excitement, we'll be heading to Two Harbors Restaurant & Bar for a delicious dinner so make sure to bring cash!

Sunday: Time to say goodbye :(

Your host will prepare a tasty breakfast as everyone wakes up on their last day. We'll start packing up camp in the morning, giving us enough time to board the boat. There might be time for a little bit more beach action before boarding. We will be sticking to a schedule today as we don't want to miss our ferry back to the mainland.
