Amazing Catalina Scavenger Hunt (If renting a Golf Cart)

Turn Catalina Island into your own interactive game board on this self-guided scavenger hunt through Avalon. Combining the excitement of an Amazing Race-style challenge with a sightseeing tour, this experience invites you to explore at your own pace while solving clues, completing challenges, and uncovering local history along the way.

Using your smartphone as your guide, you will navigate through Avalon's well-known landmarks and hidden gems, from historic architecture and iconic hotels to scenic parks and outdoor art. Along the route, you and your team will work together to crack clues, answer trivia, and take on creative challenges.

The Quest begins in the center of Avalon and can be played anytime during daylight hours, giving you the flexibility to start when you choose and move at your own pace. Most teams complete the experience in approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.

Scoring is based on points earned and completion time, adding a fun, competitive element to your adventure. Helpful hints and bonus challenges are available along the way to keep the game engaging.

This self-guided experience is ideal for families, friends, couples, and corporate teams looking for a unique way to explore Catalina Island.

Please Note: This is a fully self-guided, clue-solving adventure completed on your smartphone, with no live guide provided. The tour does not include the golf cart; it is just to reserve the tour with the use of one. If you are planning to rent a golf cart while on the island, please note that the cart rental is separate from the tour and is available at an additional cost. There are three cart rental options on the pier. You must be at least 25 years of age, have a current driver's license and proof of insurance to rent the cart. You will need the cart for 2 hours for the Cart 2 Quest and only 1 hour for the Cart-Walking Quest. To play the Quest, it's necessary to have AT&T or Verizon cell service because those are the only two cell towers on the island.

The total walking distance is approximately 1.5 miles over paved and packed dirt surfaces. There are steps at some of the sites. To rent a golf cart, guests must be at least 25 years of age or older and present a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Carts rent by the hour and come in two sizes: a 4-passenger cart (not included, approximately $65 US per hour) and a 6-passenger cart (not included, approximately $95 US per hour). These rates are subject to change. The rental fee is payable in cash upon arrival. Carts are in high demand in the afternoon, so guests may want to consider a morning rental for greater convenience. All rules and laws of the State of California Motor Vehicle Code apply to golf cart operation, including the absolute prohibition of alcoholic beverages or drugs in the carts.
