Kayak to Santa Catalina Island

Kayak excursion at your own pace, from Santa Catalina beach to the island located just offshore, which features white sands and turquoise waters. Enjoy stunning sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.
Many individuals travel to Santa Catalina primarily for surfing or to visit Coiba Island. Yet, this town offers a plethora of activities, including a kayak adventure to Santa Catalina Island, affectionately known as "la islita" (the little island). This island is entirely uninhabited, which means you’ll essentially be exploring a private paradise, as you’re likely to be the sole visitor. It’s advisable to pack food and beverages since there are no amenities available on the island.

The ideal time to explore Santa Catalina Island is during low or mid-tide, as this reveals more of the beach. At high tide, the water engulfs the beach, leaving minimal space. The island boasts a stunning, expansive beach with soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant tropical foliage. The reverse side of Santa Catalina Island features rocky terrain.

You can paddle around the island and even take a break for snorkeling, as both ends have rocky spots that are perfect for this activity. If the sun gets too hot, you can find shade beneath the palm trees. Additionally, Santa Catalina Island is a nesting ground for sea turtles. You can wander around the island’s rock formations and observe the diverse wildlife, including numerous bird species.

The kayak journey to the island usually lasts between thirty-five minutes to an hour, which is the same duration for the return trip, so ensure you’re in good physical shape. You can rent either single or double kayaks, with the latter accommodating two adults and one child. Alternatively, you can leisurely paddle along the coastline. Although this is a self-guided adventure, you won’t be entirely alone, as there are often other boats nearby. The most picturesque times for this excursion are at sunrise or sunset, when the sky is adorned with stunning hues of orange, yellow, and pink.
