Private Hummer Tour: Catalina's Summit & Secret Overlooks

Command the island's iconic ridgelines in an open-air private Hummer with just your group aboard. Exclusive access to panoramic overlooks, native wildlife corridors, and interior valleys closed to standard traffic.

What to expect

The open-top Hummer climbs above Avalon via switchback fire roads, revealing a Catalina invisible from the waterfront. Summit viewpoints deliver 360-degree Pacific vistas and, on clear days, a glimpse of the Southern California coastline. Your guide weaves in island history — from Tongva heritage to the Hollywood stars who retreated here — while scanning the scrub for foxes and golden eagles. The descent winds through interior valleys carpeted in coastal sage.
