Is Two Harbors ADA-friendly? I.e., would an elderly gentleman in an electric wheelchair be able to access most, if not all, parts of that area (obviously camping is out of the question)? How about the Cyclone?
I wanna say thank you so much for this video. I take care of my grandfather who has dementia/alzhiemers but the most vivid memories he likes to tell stories about is how he worked on two harbors back in his day. Putting this video on for him had him talking on and on about his time spent on the islands.
My dad would take me here when I was little on his boat and we still go there to this day. It is so awesome and in my opinion definitely the best side of the island. Thank you for showing the world how great it is.
Thank you for this! I am a native Californian who has never been to Catalina Island & now planning my 1st trip. I saw Two Harbors on the map & was wondering about it. Now that you've shown a little of it, think I'll take a day & cruise over there for lunch!
As a child we took our family vacations at this lodge. One day, while my parents were relaxing, and little sister asleep, I decided to venture down to the pasture and pet the bison. Climbed out window, hiked the quarter mile down, hopped a stone wall, and lay down with a cow bison and her calf right in the middle of the herd of 200. Once my parents looked out the window and saw that 6-year old me was that little speck in the middle of the herd, all the fun was over.
Back in 81, 82 and 83 I and several friends Crewed on a Catalina 38 sloop named "Streaker". On non race weekends Two Harbors, (The Isthmus) was our go to spot. I haven't seen it since until this video and I'm so glad to see that it hasn't really changed all that much. There was little to no commercialism back then except for the restaurant. (Best clam chowder I have ever had in my whole life!) We would generally sleep on the boat, but on occasion pitch a tent at the old boy scout camp. Some of my best memories were there! Thank you for this video.
thanks for the video, our grampa had a 1955 42' chris craft cabin cruiser 1959-1973..(named sea cloud)...we spent a ton of time at "cat harbor" usually 1-2 weeks, water looking a a lot clearer now,. went to avalon and the isthmus a couple of times.....not nearly as crowded back then.......thanks for sharing
Nice video - we boat to Isthmus and Avalon monthly - lucky we get a mooring and stay on the boat, but after watching your video we might try a night or two at the Banning House!
It is one of the best kept secrets of Los Angeles that even most native born Angelenos don’t even know about. It is super chill and relaxing with most people there sailing in on their sailboats or yachts.
hahaha. "Don't come here!" ??? A beautiful place indeed. You were not born yet when I sailed there initially. It was beautiful then. Year 1961. Great video. Excellent content.
Very well done travel video! Lots of helpful information when planning a trip to Two Harbors. Beautiful scenery shots too! Looks like it would be an awesome place to hike. 😊👍
Thank you so much! We were not able to hike but they did have some great trails. If you are a "super hiker," there is a trail from Avalon to Two Harbors. It's called the Trans Catalina Trail and is 37.7 miles.
Wow- I am completely surprised to see a travel vlog on two-harbors. We have vacationed there many times. You made a nice video and captured the peacefulness of the place. Come back in peak season and you will have a 180 different experience. Nice video.
I had no idea there was a place to stay in Catalina outside of Avalon! Wine and cheese and buffalo milk sounds like my kind of hotel! Loved that you both covered both parts of the island. Very helpful!
I've been all over the world, & I currently live on the North Shore of Oahu. I must say though Catalina island is by far one of the best places to live in the United States. Especially Two Harbors. It's really quaint & really nice & quiet. I prefer Avalon though, two Harbors can get a little boring. People who have grown up on the island & still live there have no idea how good of life they have lived.
I've been to Catalina twice but never at two harbors. I'm interested in the camping. Maybe next time you could share some camping info. Great video. Thanks for sharing👍
This video and the other about Avalon are probably the best vids I’ve seen about Catalina yet. My wife and I want to visit Two Harbors but couldn’t find any real info on it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to catching more travel videos from you guys.
Very well done! Thank you for creating this beautifully informative video! I had no idea there was so much to do at Two Harbors. What time of year did you visit?
Nice video to explain the immediate area. Is it possible to rent mountain bike or some kind of transportation to ride out to the northern end of island from Two Harbours?
Great video! I stumbled on your channel and I immediately subscribed! I recently moved to Cali (Orange County) and am so excited to start exploring the west coast. I can see Catalina Island from my home! This was on the top of my list to visit. I was wondering, are there many restrictions and stores/eateries still closed due to covid on Catalina Island? I wanted to take a day trip, but after seeing your video...seems like I’ll need a long weekend for it! ☺️
Welcome to Orange County and thanks so much for the subscribe. All of the stores and eateries were open when we visited. A lot of the eateries transitioned to outdoor and feet-in-the-sand style dining. Hope you get to visit soon.
?? Seeking to bring bicycle to TH. I can bring bike on Cat Flyer - but are bikes also allowed on Cyclone? Likely spring - not peak summer. Thx Cheers peeps 😘
If you change the thumbnail you’ll probably get more clicks , not that I don’t appreciate a beautiful woman but I already got one of those lol , this is a great video of this experience.
Making a trip to Catalina island in the summer ! Does this cyclone ferry do multiple trips back and forth throughout the day? Online it looks like there are only 2 time slots
The prices are seasonal and RUclips videos have long life cycles so prices become outdated fast and then we'd get comments about misleading prices. LOL
Wow I'm definitely going for my birthday next February. My question is whether the Buffalo milk drink is offered at both islands/locations. Also, where did you guys do the jet ski's, scuba diving, submarine and zip lining (at two harbors or avalon)?
Yes, the Buffalo drink is offered on both sides of the island. The submarine and zip lining is offered on the Avalon side, you can scuba dive on both sides and I believe you can rent jet skis on both.
Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for some place relaxing and intimate for my girlfriend’s birthday and heard of this location, but a lot of information provided. I have a question. At the palapas do they have servers that will bring you food (meals not just snacks)?
Great video and nicely covered. Does catalina express have a parking? Or does one have to uber down to the ferry? Also, I booked my tickets already for a single day, would they let me return the next day, in other words change my itinerary?

Lived in LA for 30 years and never heard of Two Harbors! You should be crowned official Two Harbors tourist ambassadors
Haha, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. :)

Thank you for watching! Glad you could experience Catalina through a video.
When I went in 02 we stayed in the mountains where the wild boar🐗 and buffalo🦬 were💯 enjoyed every bit of my stay...
Very cool! Hope you get to visit again!
My dad would take me here when I was little on his boat and we still go there to this day. It is so awesome and in my opinion definitely the best side of the island. Thank you for showing the world how great it is.
So cool! And our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Now THAT is the side of the island we would choose!
Hope you guys get to visit one day!
Thank you for this! I am a native Californian who has never been to Catalina Island & now planning my 1st trip. I saw Two Harbors on the map & was wondering about it. Now that you've shown a little of it, think I'll take a day & cruise over there for lunch!
Awesome! So glad to hear that. Hope you have a great trip when you visit. 💛
Thanks for visiting! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Thanks -- we are already planning our next trip to the island! 💛
Thank you for your time. May God bless and keep you healthy and together forever.
it looks like a nice get away from this hectic world. i love it
Exactly! Hope you get to visit.
I didn’t know there was anywhere else to visit besides Avalon. That fog looked so magical 😍
It's definitely the lesser-known side of the island.
Great time lapse of the fog rolling out! 👏🏽
Glad you liked it!
Im a CA native and I have never heard of the Two Harbors and I’ve been to Catalina so many times…thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
This total paradise 😍 that's for this video guys,off the beaten path but not to off the beaten to harbors a must ....Patrick 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Indeed it is a hidden gem. Such a lovely and peaceful place. Loved the way you guys captured it and so well presented. Totally loved it. :)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed our Two Harbors video! 😊

That is awesome! What a great childhood story to remember
Lucky to be alive what a stupid thing to do
Agree keep it peaceful and real relaxation vibe.
Yes indeed!

What great memories you have a Two Harbors. Thanks for sharing!
I have going to Two Harbors since 1967. In 1987 had my honeymoon at the Banning House.
Wow incredible
WOW!!! Another hidden gem discovered by Life is Good Travel. Thank you for sharing and we are looking for dates now!
Thanks for watching another one of our adventures!
I loved taking my sailboat there. Awesome getaway for the weekend. 4th of July is spectacular !
Thanks for the tour. I had sailboats and went to Two Harbors many times from 1968 to 1999. My favorite place, particularly the Isthmus side.
Thanks for sharing!

You bet and thanks for watching!
Nice video - we boat to Isthmus and Avalon monthly - lucky we get a mooring and stay on the boat, but after watching your video we might try a night or two at the Banning House!
Thank you and sounds like a great plan. Let us know what you think!

Thanks so much! We hope to share more videos in the near future.

Thank you for this great video. I’ve visited a few times before and it’s always special.

Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Great views at that hotel. We are thinking about planning our next trip here.
You should! Two Harbors is such a great spot.
What a cool bed and breakfast!
It really is!
thank you both for this Vid. i take my family to big bear lake to have the same space. this is on the map now
That is awesome! Glad we could shine light on another amazing spot!
I had no idea there was a place to stay in Catalina outside of Avalon! Wine and cheese and buffalo milk sounds like my kind of hotel! Loved that you both covered both parts of the island. Very helpful!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for such a great ride, I learned a lot from this video and will be taking a trip soon thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
I've been all over the world, & I currently live on the North Shore of Oahu. I must say though Catalina island is by far one of the best places to live in the United States. Especially Two Harbors. It's really quaint & really nice & quiet. I prefer Avalon though, two Harbors can get a little boring. People who have grown up on the island & still live there have no idea how good of life they have lived.
Wow, thanks for sharing! North Shore is a pretty awesome place too. 💛
I grew up in Two Harbors, so I know what you mean.
You guys should go camping there and share that experience.
We agree. Hopefully we can do that soon!
I've been to Catalina twice but never at two harbors. I'm interested in the camping. Maybe next time you could share some camping info. Great video. Thanks for sharing👍
This is so awesome 🥺 thank you guys 🙏
Hey Jeremiah! Thanks for watching our video and taking the time to leave a comment. Hope you have a great week!
Thank you, nicely done.
Thank you kindly!
What a cool spot!
Thanks for watching!
We added this to our list of places to visit in CA!
Awesome. You won't regret it!
Thank you for the vlog!!
No problem 😊 Thanks for watching!
This video and the other about Avalon are probably the best vids I’ve seen about Catalina yet. My wife and I want to visit Two Harbors but couldn’t find any real info on it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to catching more travel videos from you guys.
Hi Jerry! Thank you so much for the nice compliment and thank you for watching our videos. Have a great week! :)
Thank you...have a Merry Christmas!
We need to share about this side of the island too!
Don't tell too many people ;)
I had never heard of Two Harbors and I’m from California. New subscriber here!
Awesome! Thank you!
Very well done! Thank you for creating this beautifully informative video! I had no idea there was so much to do at Two Harbors. What time of year did you visit?
Thank you - Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome spot
It sure is
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous place
It really is!
Live on the island for 6 years .worked for cimi.
Awesome! So cool
Thumbnail brought me here 😍
😶
Thank you for sharing ♥️ I wonder if the helicopter will take us there 🤔
So beautiful. It's like an exotic foreign resort, only the geography is southern california - it is southern california lol.
I need to book a Palapa asap 😍
The Palapa made the beach experience top-notch!
All you really here are the waves at the beach -that’s what I’m looking for
This is where I live!
You are lucky!
Nice place
Yes it is!!
How cute is two harbors? I have never heard of it but it looks so amazingly cute and a must see! What was the boat called that you took over there!?
The Cyclone 😀 Thanks for watching!
WestEnd Is The Best End!!!!!
Woot woot
Nice video to explain the immediate area. Is it possible to rent mountain bike or some kind of transportation to ride out to the northern end of island from Two Harbours?
Twin Harbors offers various rentals of sports equipment but we are not sure about bikes. You can bring a bike on the boat you take over.
Thanks for sharing! When did you go and how was the weather when you went?
We went in mid-October and the weather was perfect!
Great video! I stumbled on your channel and I immediately subscribed! I recently moved to Cali (Orange County) and am so excited to start exploring the west coast. I can see Catalina Island from my home! This was on the top of my list to visit. I was wondering, are there many restrictions and stores/eateries still closed due to covid on Catalina Island?

Welcome to California! Just a heads up, “Cali” is a city in Colombia, South America. Few, if any, Californians use that term. Thanks.
How is the weather in November? Planning to go. Thanks.
It is a little chilly in November. We went in early October and the weather was great!
@@LifeisGoodTravel Thank you for replying
@@LifeisGoodTravel I bet it's really cozy during the rainy months, like February. That's when I'd like to go.
Looks nearly exactly the same as in the early '70s
Wow!
?? Seeking to bring bicycle to TH. I can bring bike on Cat Flyer - but are bikes also allowed on Cyclone? Likely spring - not peak summer. Thx Cheers peeps 😘
Great questions. Unfortunately I don't know the answer but there should be a FAQ when booking tickets for the Cyclone.
what time of year did you shoot that? Thanks so much, awesome video.
Hi! We visited in October. :)
Really enjoyed watching this, so well done! Make sure you check out our adventures and leave a comment with your ideas or suggestions! ✨
Thank you! Will do!
If you change the thumbnail you’ll probably get more clicks , not that I don’t appreciate a beautiful woman but I already got one of those lol , this is a great video of this experience.
Thanks for your feedback.
Making a trip to Catalina island in the summer ! Does this cyclone ferry do multiple trips back and forth throughout the day? Online it looks like there are only 2 time slots
Yes, in the summer they do!
Are there spas in two harbor? And jet ski? I heard boats but not sure if you said jet ski lol Ty 😊
Those palapas are pretty cool. Do they also have food service?
Yes, they did offer food service which was a nice perk.
I just found out about Catalina Island & can’t wait to book my getaway trip for my birthday!! Woohoo
Hope you enjoy it!
I wish you guys explained the prices of the hotels per night.. Woulda been a big help
The prices are seasonal and RUclips videos have long life cycles so prices become outdated fast and then we'd get comments about misleading prices. LOL
From where the boat drop off to the place you stayed is it walkable distance or do you have to find transportation?
If you are staying at the lodge, then they will come pick you up in a van. You can walk around the island pretty easily though without transport.
Wow I'm definitely going for my birthday next February. My question is whether the Buffalo milk drink is offered at both islands/locations. Also, where did you guys do the jet ski's, scuba diving, submarine and zip lining (at two harbors or avalon)?
Yes, the Buffalo drink is offered on both sides of the island. The submarine and zip lining is offered on the Avalon side, you can scuba dive on both sides and I believe you can rent jet skis on both.
Great video! Would you recommend taking kids? And if so would you recommend Avalon or two harbors for a family with little ones.
I think Avalon is more family-friendly for younger children but Two Harbors is a great option when they are a little older (6+)
Surf! Is there surf on this side of the island? Is it accessible??
Thank you so much for this video. I was looking for some place relaxing and intimate for my girlfriend’s birthday and heard of this location, but a lot of information provided. I have a question. At the palapas do they have servers that will bring you food (meals not just snacks)?
yes - they do have servers!
So BEAUTIFUL but do you need passports or any other papers o get on the boats to Catalina/2 Harbors?
No there are no documents needed other than a ticket to go.
How can I get there I have been to Avalon how do I get to the others side of the I land tho
Great video and nicely covered. Does catalina express have a parking? Or does one have to uber down to the ferry? Also, I booked my tickets already for a single day, would they let me return the next day, in other words change my itinerary?
Yes, there is parking available for a nightly rate. We don't know about making changes. You'd need to call them directly.
