Catalina Island Classic

Join us for five days hiking in the prime Little Harbor area of Catalina Island. We’ll take the boat from San Pedro, then make base camp for four nights in beautiful Little Harbor. Catalina Island’s views are extraordinary from the top of the hills, but on two occasions, we’ll get to the summit ridge using a shuttle allowing a relaxing downhill stroll. This is not a Trans-Catalina Trek. We’ll be moderately hiking for five days from five to ten miles each day, from one base camp, with kayaking opportunities (in Two Harbors and Little Harbor). The weather in Autumn is an ideal time to visit and hike Catalina Island; you will enjoy cool days hiking but usually very moderate nighttime lows.

Moderate walk type. Opportunities for shorter hikes, optional hike and kayak rental. All Camping Fees & meals (excepted where indicated in the Itinerary) are included in the price.

Camping and Meals:

• Our campsite will have a shade structure but nearly all hiking is in open terrain. Plan sunscreen and water accordingly. Our campsite has cold showers. Nightly campfires are planned.
• All Meals will be provided by Coastwalk, including daily appetizers. Hikers will however assist in preparation, including all breakfasts, lunches and dinners (except as noted ‘no host’ i.e. at hiker’s own cost, in the daily itinerary).

What to Bring:

• Hikers will be allowed one large pack or duffel bag, not to exceed 50 pounds, which must include tent, sleeping bag, folding chair, camping and hiking gear, clothing and personal food items. You may also bring one small daypack.
