Day 1: Start the day with an adrenaline rush by taking a Zip Line Eco Tour through the island's interior. Afterwards, head to the Catalina Island Brew House for some local brews and bar food. End the day with a VIP table at the Avalon Hollywood Club.
Day 2: Sleep in and have a leisurely breakfast at the Original Jack's Country Kitchen. Spend the day golfing with your buddies at the Catalina Island Golf Course or catching some sun on Descanso Beach. End the night with a group dinner at the elegant Bluewater Avalon Seafood Restaurant.
Day 3: Charter a boat for a private deep sea fishing excursion. Once you return, head to Lloyd's of Avalon for a round of drinks and conversation. End the night with a little friendly competition at the Catalina Island Casino, which actually now serves as a historic landmark and movie theatre, rather than a place for gambling.

Transportation
Getting around Avalon is relatively easy as most attractions are within walking distance. However, if you plan on playing golf or spending time on Descanso Beach, consider renting a golf cart. Taxis are also available if needed, and the Catalina Express ferry provides transportation to and from the mainland.
Transport Costs: Golf Cart Rental - $50-$100 per day, Taxi - $5 + $0.50 per person per 1/5 mile, Catalina Express Ferry - $75-150 roundtrip.
Useful Tips
If you have more time, consider taking a scuba diving or kayaking excursion, hiking the Trans-Catalina Trail, or relaxing at Island Spa Catalina. If you have less time, combine Day 1 and Day 2, or cut out a daytime activity on Day 3.
Airports
The nearest airport to Avalon is the Catalina Airport (AVX) located on the island. However, due to limited flights, most visitors fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA). Both airports have shuttle services that will take you to the ferry terminal for transportation to Avalon.
