Terrific - This was the most AMAZING sub tour yet. As a Flight Attendant for a major airline I have done quite a few sub tours. This one in Catalina was top notch. The commentary & how they lured in the fish.,,MANY🐟🐠🐟Fish, was incredible!! Loved it!

They were very nice. We... - They were very nice. We saw a lot of 4 or 6 kinds of fish in a reserve area where they were allowed to feed them to draw them in. They gave good info and we also got to go up on deck for a while on the way back to view the area. Clean boat and nice crew. Not quite as expected, but very good.

See under the Sea Surface - It was a great experience to see under the water and see the life going on under the water. We loved the kelp gardens!

Tour was OK, experience with Catalina Island Tour was less so. - The boat ride was OK - the captain and guide was a little hard to hear as the audio system in the cabin seemed obsolete. The captain had some interesting stories on the way back, but his voice was soft and was hard to hear unless you paid close attention and weeded out the background noise on deck (which I did for the most part). I did have an issue with the Catalina Island Tour company. Also bought tickets for the Avalon City tour, but after this tour my wife boycotted going on a second tour without lunch. I tried to exchange tickets for a later time or another day (this was the first of a three day stay). Operator said that the rest of the tours for the day was booked, but did not want to look for other days - don't know if it is a system issue. In either case, those tickets went to waste. I guess the disclosure says non-refundable after a certain date, but I didn't think it would have been too hard to look for another opening in the next day or two. Such as it is.

Disappointing - Viator reservation did not work. Underwater Experience had no idea what to do with viator voucher. Needless to say they could not let us board.
