Around Catalina with John Olguin

This popular day cruise benefits both the American Cetacean Society and the Point Fermin Cetacean and Community Center. Treat yourself to an unforgettable experience and help us pay for insurance and upkeep on the building.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to see the hidden side of Catalina Island, as well as a wide variety of marine mammals and sea birds!

You can share in the fun and excitement of the best whale watching season in years by joining us on our 27th Annual Around Catalina with John Olguin cruise, Saturday March 25, 2006.

In addition to the opportunity to see gray whales during their annual migration along the California coast, we may also see other species of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, seabirds, fish, and other marine life.

American Cetacean Society wildlife experts will be on board to provide information on the wildlife as well as the geology and history of Catalina Island.

The trip will be led by John Olguin, Director Emeritus of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, charter member of ACS and "Father of Whale Watching.".

This annual whale watching cruise is a particularly great outing for the entire family. Proceeds from the trip benefit the American Cetacean Society, the world's oldest whale conservation organization, and the Point Fermin Cetacean and Community Center.

The Around Catalina trip is usually a sell-out, so purchase your tickets early! We have a lot of people who come every year - for those of you - please note that we are departing from a different location this year. We leave from Long Beach instead of San Pedro. We start boarding the boat at 8:30 at Rainbow Harbor, which is located directly across from the Aquarium of the Pacific.
