We went on the Bison excursion and really enjoyed ourselves. We got to see native animals, bison, and most of the island. The high speed off roading was not our cup of tea, but still an enjoyable experience.

Response from VisitCatalina, Manager at Discover Avalon: Catalina Bus Tour
Responded Mar. 26, 2020
Thanks for joining us on the Bison Expedition. We're glad that you were able to learn about Catalina's wildlife and history. If an off-road biofuel Hummer isn't a preference, we do recommend one of our bus tours, namely the Inland Expedition. We hope to see you on Catalina again in the future.

We went to where we were told to meet the bus and the bus left from another spot. We were so disappointed. They refunded our money, but this was our only chance to see the rest of the island, as I have problems walking.
