How to get to Catalina Island
Typically the first step to a Catalina Elopement is a ride on the Catalina Express from Long Beach. The ride is about an hour each way, with boats departing almost every hour every day. We recommend traveling on the Catalina Express from Long Beach instead of Catalina Flyer from Newport Beach as its a much longer ride. First class in the Commodore Lounge is worth the extra cost.

Transportation once your on the Island
Once you arrive on the island we recommend hiring a driver to zip you to the the Iconic Casino or Descanso Beach for amazing photos. Part of a great experience is who your with. It's important to have a connection to get a great driver that will add to your experience. My favorite driver Lionel works at Catalina Transportation Service.
