Nice trip for a family with young kids. Food was good and the boat staff were helpful. There was one snorkeling stop off the boat and it was ok - the coral reef is about 5m deep so unless you dive the visibility is not too good. This was fine for though us as we have young kids. The staff used bread to attract fish to the surface so kids were happy. The snorkeling off the island is just average, lot of dead coral, you have to swim further from the beach to see anything really. Nice place for a swim and a few drinks though.

This trip was NOT booked through the hotel, which was our mistake and we learned our lesson. This trip was booked through this 3rd party company call Viator. We booked a Full-Day Catalina Island Snorkeling Tour and when we arrived, the boat was in poor conditions, one of the engines didn't want to start and was smoking and really stiff (we own boats and it was clearly in need of mechanical work) - we also waited close to an hour on the boat because they wanted to wait for two guests that were late. Also, the boat was PACKED full with over 60 passengers packed like sardines in a can and this company sells different tours and combines them in the same boat, so, we were on a boat full of scuba divers too and tanks everywhere which is NOT what we signed up for and made it super uncomfortable. Lastly, and worst of all, the captain and boat operators did not have basic rules to maximize everyone's enjoyment. There were two groups with private radio Bluetooth speakers playing their choice of music super loud - so, we were listening to RAGGEATON AND MERENGUE from two different radios at the same time plus the one the boat was playing which sounded horrific! It was an absolute nightmare! A simple rule that private radios are not allowed would solve this problem. What would have happened in my husband and I are heavy metal fans and would blast that crappy music the ENTIRE trip? Would they have liked it? You don't go in an airplane and blast your music for everyone to hear, right? Anyway, it was awful. Also, the "all inclusive beverages and rum punch" were a complete joke. Nothing was done right on that aspect either. NEVER AGAIN and would never recommend this to anyone. The only highlights were the lobster for lunch at the island, the island itself was beautiful and the sweet pups I met at the marina - I wanted to take them home with me! But, do yourself a favor and book a legit trip that is more expensive or book through your hotel or resort to avoid this. Oh, and the stop to snorkel - pretty much a dead reef.

Seul point positif de la journée : le taxi est passé à l'heure pour nous prendre à l'hôtel.
Sinon, absence totale d'encadrement. Pas un bonjour en arrivant, pas un bonjour en montant sur le bateau. Pas un mot d'accueil, ni de présentation du déroulé de la journée sur le bateau.
Pas de masques et tubas pour tout le monde.
Le spot de snorkeling (le mur) est bien, même s'il y pas mal de monde.
Arrivés sur l'ile, toujours pas un mot, on ne sait pas combien de temps on reste. Au bout d'un moment, des coups de sifflets font comprendre qu'il faut repartir, mais on ne sait toujours pas qui et pour quel bateau ! (ce sont les mêmes petits bateaux qui font la navette avec tous les bateaux)
Le déjeuner sur l'ile Catalina est simple mais correct.
Le cadre est vraiment sympa, les eaux sont claires et turquoise, dommage que le site accueille autant de monde (heureusement que c'est une réserve naturelle !).
