The ride started a little ways up in our marina, we went right past our ship and out into the Atlantic Ocean. After about a half hour we got to snorkel on what they call the Wall, a large coral reef that runs parallel to Catalina Island. Dominica Tours provided lots of drinks, rum & cokes and a fresh BBQ lunch, once we got on shore at the island. Several excursion operators use the island, with similar packages and a party vibe runs up and down the whole shoreline. I am working on improving my day drinking skills and this rum was particularly good! The package only $55 USD for the whole day, included loungers and umbrellas on the beach, snorkel equipment and everything else! We spent the whole time in the ocean except when we got out for the BBQ. A fun day relaxing, drinking, talking and laughing.
