Bus tours of Catalina Island vary depending on your interests. If you want to take a tour to see how "the other half" lives, you can do that. If seeing the natural side of Catalina is more what you're after, bus tours take you to see buffalo, wild boar and native plants. You can also combine a bus tour with a glass-bottom boat tour.
Bus tour guides provide information on the history of Catalina, explain what you are seeing and can answer questions. If you don't have a car on Catalina Island, a bus tour is a good way to explore areas not covered by public transportation.
Bus tours normally require advance booking, but some offer discounts for booking online. Tours leave at specified times; being at the departure point a little early ensures the tour will stay on schedule. Some tours do not include admission to attractions they take you to; check ahead of time if you need to cover your own admission charges.
