Jet Ski to Catalina Island from Long Beach, CA

Took a day trip from Long Beach to Two Harbors, Catalina Island on Jet Skis!
We left Long Beach at 8:30 AM, and cruised past Rainbow Harbor, the Queen Mary, and more! Some trip see Dolphins and Whales (we didn't see any), but we only saw sea lions floating on a buoy.
We did a swim through the Blue Caves, some cliff jumping, and two hours strolling around Two Harbors.
A great trip and you're back by 4 PM!

    I went with my husband. You got to be super fast in the rough ocean. You don't get to enjoy much. We didn't get to go to the caves,we just passed them. I tried stopping to admire but an argentina women just yelled, "LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET"S GO" Also, my dream was to see dolphins and just stayed there for 4 minutes and they started rushing us to the island. Terrible experience. And I was excited about the trip and recommending it to friends but once I got back I told all my friends I did not recommend it. For my first time to have us drive really fast like pros, it was difficult.

    several have said it was really bumpy on one ski, with two riders, but I thought it was fine. The biggest challenge was following the pace of the guides. Adding a second added substantial cost while adding another rider was just $50.
