Join us for a sun-filled day on Catalina Island, featuring a 4-mile coastal hike near Two Harbors. The trail is an easy hike, allowing you to take in coastal scenery. After the hike, we’ll head to Harbor Sands to swim, relax, and enjoy the laid-back island atmosphere.
To top it off, Wren and Kylie will be cheffing it up with a delicious beachside meal—because great views deserve great food. There will also be time to explore the area and soak in the sun with new friends. It’s a great opportunity to build connections, enjoy the outdoors, and take a well-earned break from the usual routine. The price includes round-trip ferry transportation, so all you need to do is show up ready for a good day.
