	Semi Sub and Undersea Tour Come face to face with Catalina’s abundant marine life by sitting five feet underneath the waterline. The fish are fed from the captain so that the fish will surround the entire vessel.

	Seal Rocks Tour An open boat ride towards the East end of the island to view the numerous Seals that reside in a pristine untouched coastal area about 20 minutes from Avalon Harbor. The experienced captain will offer up delightful anecdotes of island history along the way.
	Guided Kayak Tours 90 or 120 minutes. You will be led on a scenic tour along Catalina's leeward shores.  Your guide will teach you the basics of paddling as we glide over colorful garibaldi, kelp forests and perhaps bat ray and leopard shark.  We'll watch for the resident bald eagle and haul out for a short break and or swim before the return paddle to Avalon.
	Kayak Rentals You can also venture down the coast and explore undeveloped coves and beaches on your own. Rentals are by the hour, half day, or full day rentals.
	Snorkeling A short walk over to Lover's Cove Marine Preserve awaits an abundance of fish waiting to be fed.  There you can spot garibaldi, button perch, calico bass and more as they eat from your hands.  If you can swim you can snorkel.
	Ocean Rafting This excursion will show you about 10 miles of the Island's coastline. Your captain will explain the history and geology of the Island. We will stop to take pictures and experience the Island's bald eagles. After a break for soft drinks and to answer questions, we depart offshore two to three miles in search of dolphins on our run back to Avalon. When we find a pod of dolphin we will position the raft in the middle of the pod which allows you to get eye to eye with these beautiful marine mammals.
	Fishing with Afishinado Charters Many of our charter customers are families and first time fisherfolk looking for a unique experience during their visit to Catalina Island. You will catch fish on our charters, more importantly, we will teach you the basic skills and 'fish sense' needed for Catalina Island fishing success.

You stay comfortable and dry (unless you request otherwise) high above Avalon Bay to absorb the sights, while experiencing the surprisingly peaceful sensations of flight. So make the most of your trip to Catalina with a parasail ride. Because the scariest part is knowing it has to end.
