Catalina's Adventure HQ is your one-stop base camp for everything Catalina Island has to offer. Located in Avalon, we're the island's only locally operated adventure hub — offering scuba and snorkel gear, dive classes, Jeep tours, taxi service, campsite shuttles, and more, all under one roof. Whether you're planning your trip in advance or just stepped off the ferry looking for your next move, we've got you covered.
Hours may vary seasonally, so we recommend checking our website or calling ahead if you're planning an early morning or evening visit.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but we strongly recommend booking tours, dive classes, and equipment rentals in advance — especially during summer weekends and holidays. Availability fills fast and we'd hate for you to miss out. Book online at catalinaadventurehq.com (http://catalinaadventurehq.com)or call us directly.
Yes — we're the umbrella home for both. Catalina Taxi & Tours handles all of our transportation and guided tour offerings, and Catalina Divers Supply is our full-service dive and snorkel outfitter. Booking through Adventure HQ means you get seamless access to everything, with the same expert local team behind it all.

• Scuba diving — gear rentals, guided dives, and certification courses
• Snorkeling — equipment rentals and guided tours
• Jeep tours of Catalina's rugged interior
• Private and shared taxi service around Avalon
• Shuttle service to Two Harbors, campgrounds, and trailheads
• Custom group experiences and special events
