A little boring. Certain facts heard during the bison expedition didn’t match. More creativity recalling or showing things might work.

The tour was amazing! The driver “Cindy Lowe” was super funny and it felt like we all new her right off the back! She also sang a beautiful song towards the end lol #visitcatalinaisland

The tour itself was enjoyable and the views spectacular. However, the information in the tour's description, stated that we would ride in an "open air vehicle". Instead, we got a bus with windows that did not open. Being in our late 70's, we had to wear masks all the way through. About 4 our to 12 or so passengers wore masks. It took some of the pleasure away. Also, the driver Bear kept pushing Island Company actives - over and over - and handed out cards that gave a 10% discount on all such activities, including, he said, miniature golf. Except when we got to miniature golf they wouldn't honor it.

Hi Phillips1085, thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent experience. Unfortunately the open-air tram was out of service for maintenance that day. We will use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure this issue does not happen again. We hope to see you soon!
