yeah I don't know who that guy was but he was super excited to see me with my
camera house I had a recording hey everyone today we are here at Catalina
Island Avalon and we just got off the boat you can see it behind us and today
we're gonna be walking around traveling seeing what's going on with Catalina
Island and we're also gonna be giving you some travel tips that way you can
maximize your time when you come here travel tip numero uno if you get seasick
or you might think you're gonna be seasick make sure you bring some nausea
medicine because me and my wife got a little bit seasick and it would have
made it a lot better trip if we took some Dramamine or some medicine so have
to change with you you can lock it up for the day you're just doing a day trip
you know you could go around eat do whatever you got to do but the thing is
if you need to use a locker make sure you bring four corners with you travel
tip number three if you're a US citizen you do not need a passport to travel to
Catalina Island if you do not have snorkeling equipment know
worries you could run out snorkeling equipment right here when you get off
the boat here so those are the busiest days stay away from Monday Tuesday and
then Saturday of course because it's also gonna be a busy day so keep that in
mind when planning a trip here travel tip numero Cinco they don't let too many
cars come on Avalon there's a waiting list of 20 years or something crazy like
that so there is golf carts if you want to rent them you could get around with a
golf cart I mean it's not it's not a big city so we just pretty much walk around
and that's our mode of transportation you could rent bikes also for those of
you wondering they do allow dogs here on Catalina Island and on the ferry
into place
- scared
here on the pier you're able to rent snorkeling gear you're able to rent
scuba gear kayaks boats whatever whatever you want to rent and as you can
see there's a spot there another spot there and another spot right behind me
so you know take your pick up whatever you want to rent and see how much the
prices are and you could even rent boats right here to here on the pier and you
could already see the little guys having a blast
hi
okay on our team if you're traveling I landed with babies water and
although we
see the memories crashing into me
Travel tip number seven if you're coming just for one day and you want to shower
up there is showers here across three dollars for five minutes
and there's a lot of public restrooms here on Avalon as well
Travel tip number eight here on Catalina Island behind me I have a casino they
call it a casino but it's really a theater and it's a ballroom so you can
rent it out if you're having a party or a wedding or something okay it is not a
casino as you think it's Italian for gathering so they called it a casino if
you do want to see some casino or gambling you could check out my video
when I went to Las Vegas
me and my wife come out to Catalina Island every year we try to make it a
little summer tradition and last year we took a picture with the casino in the
background and we're gonna try to I guess redo the picture this year and now
with the baby the only difference is gonna be the baby of course and then
maybe my gut got a little bit bigger but uh we'll see we'll check out the before
and after and see how it looks travel tip number 9 muumuu and weather
ok so if you want to drink ok do not drink next to the pier where the ferry
leaves you okay if you drink there you're gonna get ticketed you're gonna
get arrested nobody wants to get arrested when they're on vacation if you
want to drink if you want to have a good time you come to Descanso Beach
Travel tip number 10 numeral D s if you guys are into adventure okay you could
come here you could camp you could hike and you could even
zipline
every time we go somewhere we try to find a good spot to eat at that way we
keep coming back and coming back and last year we tried out coyote Joe's and
nobody no it wasn't good like the booty was okay
the service wasn't awful so so that's right a new plays this time Jim the spot
this year me and my wife wanted try out lobster trap it's the restaurant that I
got right behind me there's a line outside the door so that's actually a
good sign probably good food in there we yelped it
and some friends recommended it so let's go try it out
I ordered the ceviche and it was good delicious the lemon the it was just
fresh fish I guess that's a good thing about being here on the island you get
fresh seafood and it was delicious what did you order I got this some real
salmon sandwich it was really really good I tasted it it was good
and again fresh fish small place it is hot
probably you're gonna wait a little bit but it's worth it Travel tip number 11
is if you want to come here to see the Bison not Buffalo bison if you want to
see the Bison and you get on one of these Hummer tours right here just make
sure you don't go to the East End tour if you go to the East and there's not
that many Buffalo I did that last year and I saw a little black dot about five
miles away and they're like there's the Buffalo so if you want to go see the
Buffalo you got to make sure you get the center or a west tour do not get the
east tour
Blaze's Ashley
so it's kind of been our tradition to go to Lloyd's and get ice cream and they
just do it over the year I like vanilla with sprinkles which one do you like
cotton candy it's my favorite cotton candy
I'll stick with my vanilla it's time to go snorkeling and I almost forgot to
throw on my wetsuit
now I'm ready
although we
see the memories me so close to the age
Catalina travel tip number 12 if you wanna check out the best fish snorkeling
area right behind the casino there's a nice little spot
Travel tip number
I forget what travel tip number we're off for some reason
yeah I forget what number we're all for some reason okay anyway if you come in
to Catalina Island and you're gonna stay the night and you're gonna get a hotel
make sure you book in advance because in the summertime it's crazy expensive you
want to pay somewhere around 120 dollars a night for your hotel so if you don't
book in advance and you come to the summertime you're gonna be paying
somewhere around 300 dollars a night so be prepared for that and also you could
get on Groupon and if you're gonna stay two nights or more you could save some
money that way because that way you'll spend somewhere around 130 dollars in
the peak season we did our picture recreation okay we took our picture last
year when we came here and then we did the one from this year okay now with the
baby you know we were not pregnant yet almost pregnant actually we're almost
pregnant and we did our picture so this is the one year later picture you guys
tell us what you think in the comments below and we're gonna post it up right
a couple of things to consider when coming to Catalina Island okay so you
have four ports that have ferries that come out to Catalina Island starting
with the one most South closest to San Diego we got Dan a point okay and then
we got Newport Beach Newport Beach has Groupon deal so be on the lookout for
those it's actually like 50% off okay so if you do go out a Newport Beach look
for the discounts the next one is gonna be Long Beach that's the one that we
took today and then above Long Beach we have San Pedro if you're interested in
traveling to two harbors that's the other Harbor that uh Catalina Island has
you could go to two harbors if not all the other ports come to Avalon which is
what we toured today and also another thing is when you pay for parking
parking is going to be somewhere around $19 for 24 hours and that's between the
four ports so you know you should consider parking paying for parking as
