Best Way To Save Money On Catalina Island Vacation Package or Weekend Getaway – Come During The Off-Peak Season – November Through April

You’ve always wanted to explore the natural wonders, exciting activities and marvelous dining opportunities Catalina Island has to offer. But it sounds pricey. What are some inexpensive strategies to save some money and take advantage of some deep discounts? The best tip is to come during the “off-peak” time of the calendar or “off-season.”

During the off-peak season, many quality hotels partner with the cross-channel ferry service, Catalina Express, to offer deeply discounted hotel and boat packages like The Avalon Hotel’s Best of Winter Discount Catalina Boat & Hotel Package.  This cheap package will save you nearly 50% compared to what you would spend separately on round trip boat fare and two night hotel stay during the summer months. That’s quite the savings for just deciding to come “off-season.” This premium, boutique hotel offers a variety of ways to save money through out the year by checking the Specials & Packages link on The Avalon Hotel website.

However, with Catalina’s temperate climate throughout the seasons and with a long list of activities available all year long, the notion of an “off-season” is something of a misnomer. Though this desert isle is known for visitors living in their board shorts and bikini’s in the busy months of summer, there’s still plenty to do in the cooler months of November through April. First, try your hand at ocean kayaking or stand up paddle boarding at Descanso Beach Ocean Sports (DBOS). Second soar high above Avalon Harbor parasailing with Parasail Catalina or Island Water Charters or Catalina Tours (which also features many other activity options).

Next, If you’re a true adrenaline junkie then an exhilarating flight on the Zip Line Eco Tour should be on your schedule. This year-round adventure traverses more than three thousand feet of cable over the expanse of Descanso Canyon. Lastly, go in search of the famed Catalina bison on the Jeep Eco Tour. There are many more activities you can research on the Love Catalina website, which is hosted by the Catalina Island Tourism Authority.
