THE LAS CATALINAS ISLANDS ARE NOT JUST FOR SCUBA DIVERS! This is one of the best snorkeling spots in the area! On this 1/2 day (4-5-hour) private snorkeling tour, you will enjoy 1-3 snorkeling stops (depending on conditions and interest in staying in a spot versus trying another) in the Catalinas / North Island area. Enjoy the underwater world of colorful fish, rays, sharks, turtles, and more. Although we never know what we will see, it is rarely disappointing!

We will load the boat from Potrero and then after about a 40-minute ride, we will arrive the Las Catalinas and North Island area. The captain will select a good starting spot based on tides and conditions, and then it will be up to you how long we stay in that spot versus try another. You will have the choice snorkeling on your own, or going with our professional snorkel guide (one of the best int the area!) We will have snacks, fresh fruit and cold drinks on board. (No alcohol.) On the return ride to Potrero Bay, we will watch for whales (seasonal) and dolphins.

Please note that this is a tour specifically and primarily for snorkeling. It is recommended that participants be competent/confident swimmers and be comfortable in ocean conditions. This is not a dangerous or scary tour by any means, but people who are new to the ocean or not confident in their swimming abilities may enjoy themselves more on one of our other tours. If you are interested in snorkeling and/or "secret beaches" and/or coast exploring, etc., our Mid-Day "Snorkeling and Secret beaches" tour or early morning "Coffee & Coasting" are probably a better fit.

Please also note that although the intent of this tour is to go to Las Catalinas Islands, there is not a guarantee that we will be able to go there. If the captain determines the conditions are not right, we will find another snorkeling spot (e.g. Brummel Islands, Playa Minas) that also have good snorkeling. (Best odds for being able to go Las Catalinas is May - August.)

This tour is scheduled to depart at 7am and return at approximately 11:30am. If you have special requests, are looking for a custom tour, etc., please use the "Contact Us" link to reach out! We love doing custom tours!
