Fun and informative.

Our guide Tom was knowledgeable, attentive and fun. What a great adventure. If we had not taken this tour we would have left the island without really knowing the island. And we got to see a bunch of awesome bison.

HORRIBLE, Do not use
Anna_C
, Jul 2020
I would not recommend using Viator to book any tours, EVER. They sold me a voucher for a tour unavailable the only day I was on Catalina. They also were extremely difficult to deal with when asking for a refund because they sold me a service that I could not receive. They never should have sold it to me in the first place because the tour was full.

We had a wonderful time in the Bison Expedition with our tour guide Mark. He kept us entertained the whole journey while giving us many facts and stories about the island. We were lucky enough to see a Bison up close in the side of the road. Very exciting!!! Views of the island are beautiful and a great way to see the island.

Exciting Bison Expedition
Lucinda

We had a great time on the Bison Expedition. It was a fun and bumpy ride in the hummer. Our tour guide was funny and gave us opportunity for great views for pictures. We found a herd of bison and we also had the chance to get a picture of one that was close to the road.

This was an excellent tour. Keep in mind that we were informed by the tour guide that there was a 50/50 chances that we would see bison. (We actually saw two.) However, the scenery is breathtaking and worth the price of admission.
