Jet Ski to Catalina Island from Long Beach, CA

- Took a day trip from Long Beach to Two Harbors, Catalina Island on Jet Skis!
We left Long Beach at 8:30 AM, and cruised past Rainbow Harbor, the Queen Mary, and more! Some trip see Dolphins and Whales (we didn't see any), but we only saw sea lions floating on a buoy.
We did a swim through the Blue Caves, some cliff jumping, and two hours strolling around Two Harbors.
A great trip and you're back by 4 PM!

Cool! Can’t wait to do this.
Glad you enjoyed the trip 🐬
Thanks!
really great video! me and my son just watched it!
Thanks so much!
Hey. I was looking at booking this but can’t find this answer? Do you jet ski back to Long Beach??? Or do you take the express and they tow the jet skis back for you?
You jet ski back
This, boys and girls, is called "living"...not sitting around on your couch or in your stupid little cubicle ...life is out there. Go get it.
Living … and spending $$$$
I don’t think anyone WANTS to sit in a cubicle. Lol
Thanks, Coach.
Calm down dude lol
@@captaincoon_shout out to all my cubicle warriors out there.
Lmfao i was arguing with 2 friends how you can easily ride a pwc to Catalina. How tf not lol. Kool vid dude!
Yeah I never knew it was possible until a few weeks ago. It’s worth a try!
Nice! Can’t wait to try this someday soon!!!!
They book up quick so don’t wait too long!
@@UntoldRoad will do! How much was it roughly if you don’t mind me asking?
@@KRAZYRODZILLA $399 per jetski
this pretty nuts considering a jet ski has a range of like 75-100 miles a round trip to Catalina is maybe 50 but that is still cutting it close.
Well the good news is that I haven’t read about anyone being stranded & eaten by sharks thus far, so they seem to have cracked the code for a successful trip
Lol
How is that cutting it close? Do they not fuel at Catalina?
So Catalina has no fuel ? Lol
Nice video
Thanks - it was a bit of a last hurrah as California residents
great video! me and my son just watched it together!
Cool, thanks!!!
Great video love the calm music how did those seals even get up on that buoy
You can always count on deals on the buoy in Southern California. You’d be surprised how high they can get jumping out of the water. Then often land on one another & began fighting
Will you be making and trips there this year? I just bought a 21' FX Svho limited. Would love some riding friends
Nope, I live in Utah now
Is there any age restriction for driving jetski?
Great question - not sure on that one. Probably a quick Google search could help on that one
Music was Great!
Thanks Gary!
I have 2 new Sea Doo GTI 130 Pro's, and would love to do this trip on Labor Day in September 2021. Any chance you'll be doing this trip again? We're from Mesa, AZ.
@@garyharris7396 I did the trip via company Jetski2Catalina
@@UntoldRoad Thanks for the reply. If you or any other independent groups are going on Labor Day in September, let me know. I hope to have my Garmin GPS/Depth unit with transducer and a waterproof dual band radio for the trip. Just let me know and we can team up. Again, great video!
@@garyharris7396 I moved to Park City earlier this month, so I probably won't be seeing the big blue ocean for quite awhile!
Hey i’m doing this i a couple of days and i just wanted to know if you were sore the day after?
Well I think everyone has different levels of health & strength so tough to say. If I remember correctly my arms & back were a little sore. Just enjoy the ride & deal with the pain the next day
I went with my husband. You got to be super fast in the rough ocean. You don't get to enjoy much. We didn't get to go to the caves,we just passed them. I tried stopping to admire but an argentina women just yelled, "LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET"S GO" Also, my dream was to see dolphins and just stayed there for 4 minutes and they started rushing us to the island. Terrible experience. And I was excited about the trip and recommending it to friends but once I got back I told all my friends I did not recommend it. For my first time to have us drive really fast like pros, it was difficult.
You should leave them a Yelp or Google review to share your experience
Your trip sounded like the video. Not too good
@@swill1020 thanks for the kind words!
Awesome! Was the water cold and require wetsuits?
Oh yeah, it’s the Pacific Ocean - which is always cold & then you’re constantly being sprayed by waves & the wind is often blowing. Without a wetsuit, it could get rather uncomfortable
If you do it again would choose 2 skis or just 1 again?
several have said it was really bumpy on one ski, with two riders, but I thought it was fine. The biggest challenge was following the pace of the guides. Adding a second added substantial cost while adding another rider was just $50.
I also thought it was fine & agree the guides were the biggest issue. I honestly thought the guides sucked & it would have been a lot better if the guides had a little more consistency
It's that Cat Moon Bay, other side of Avalon???
I know it as Two Harbors ?
How much was the trip
I think it was about $400 for two riders/one jet-ski. I found a promo code for roughly 10% off via a simple web search
How old do you have to be for this ?
I don’t think there is an age limit - so long as you sign the waiver & wear a life jacket the kids should be fine
How long do you walk around the island before heading back
I’d say probably an hour or two - not a lot of time, but there’s not really a lot to see/do there
During the summer?
This was early April when we did this. They provide wet suits so never feels cold
What company did you use?!
Jetski2Catalina
My God, what SPF do you need to make that journey?
Always 50 & above
Do you feel this trip was worth it?? Or you could’ve been fine without going
Worth is very subjective … but riding a jet ski to Catalina was a pretty darn unique experience. Sure beats an afternoon at Chuck E Cheese
How long did it take to get to the island one way?
@@NatureLover-qm3rr great question - it’s been so long I cannot remember. If you look at the outfitter page, you should be able to determine from the total time. You probably get an hour or 2 on the island so if it starts at 10
& return at 2, you can do the math
I was hoping to see how much it was and how to book so I can try it
I’d check out their website as prices are always changing
@@UntoldRoadis a driving license required? Have a buddy that wants to go but he had his license suspended
@@ulisescortez7627 I assume no license required (though I’m not sure). You have to be pretty dumb to do any damage on the open water
The rental outfits let you take these in the open water?
Yeppers - but there are at least 2 guides riding nearby so they keep everyone relatively close
@@UntoldRoad
I just looked it up and realized this is a guided tour. I know you can rent jet skis in Long Beach and I thought this was one of those, now I see this is a guided tour outfit. Thanks for the info!
@@eriknervik9003 no problem - hope u have some fun!
How long to get there ?
Like 7-8 hours
lmao not true it does not take 7 hours to get to Catalina from LB
2hr
so if u jetski there do i gota jetski back same day
Yes unless you’re bringing your own jet ski
I want to do it but ive never ridden one😢Can you train me before departure? Ty
You’ll be fine… easier than riding a bike!
@@UntoldRoad that is comforting ...yet😬
I wanna do this with my family but i worry my dad would get sea sick with the motion of the jetski.
There’s definitely a lot of up & down. Your arms, thighs, and posterior take the most beating though. I actually had blisters on my thumbs by the end of it
Did you see dolphins?
No dolphins on this day, but it’s a substantial ploy of water, and do entirely possible to see whales & dolphins
@@UntoldRoad I seen some videos from jetski2catalina island that shows dolphins everywhere. I'm going Saturday for my anniversary and sure hope to see dolphins. Thanks for the reply.
@@LunaBella2006 best of luck to you!
Two questions. 1. Can you Stand? 2. Is knowing how to Swim required!?!?
1. Yes
2. No one asked but I’d assume you’d want to know how to swim 🏊♀️
@@UntoldRoadcan we be able to smoke ? Lol
@@thahbcity1514 I guess if it stays lit, but there’s a lot of wind & water
I'm going and I'm going to cheaf it up in the Island!
Yikes not a very good choice especially when it gets really choppy waves ..
Yeah but they have life jackets & several guides with you
Stupid idea. The ocean always wins.
We’ll I feel like I took the W on this day. I’m still alive
This video is cool but the creepy music is making me want to click on something else. It could be happy sea music ! Omg
My apologies - I often zip through my uploads & the royalty free music isn’t often the best
Some people would just turn the volume down vs. complaining. Back in the old days, I guess.
This video is strange. It's not informative and the music just doubles down on the level of boring. All the women making sure to put their feet in the camera view makes me laugh. They have websites for that.
Appreciate the feedback!
What video were you watching with women putting their feet in the camera? And why do you want your feet video to be informative? Go away weirdo.
What company does this?
It’s been a bit so I’d just Google “jetski to Catalina”
