About Bike Catalina

Scenic 10-mile rides from Airport in the Sky to Avalon — helmets, water, and permits included.

Bike Catalina is a guided and self-guided bicycle outfitter based in Avalon, California, specializing in scenic rides across Santa Catalina Island. The company organizes three signature experiences: Hike and Bike, Ridge Route (Ride to Airport included), and For Pilot Flying in Rentals. Each trip features a scenic 10-mile route that showcases Catalina’s coastal and interior landscapes. Riders travel from the Airport in the Sky or to Avalon, with routes that include moderate downhill sections and stretches of rolling terrain.

Bike Catalina provides practical inclusions to make island cycling accessible and comfortable. Helmets, water, and required permits are provided on tours, and pack transport is available for the Hike and Bike option so riders can travel light. The Ridge Route trip includes a visit to the Airport in the Sky at 1,602 feet above sea level and a return mountain bike ride with roughly six miles of downhill. On some trips, snacks and lunch at the airport restaurant are included, and the For Pilot Flying in Rentals option allows a return on the Conservancy’s Wildlands Express.

Operating from Avalon, Bike Catalina serves visitors arriving by ferry or plane who want an active way to explore Catalina Island. The business focuses on safe, enjoyable cycling with clear route descriptions, included gear, and logistics handled so riders can focus on the scenery. Bike Catalina’s offerings suit riders seeking structured outings and short, memorable island cycling adventures. Reservations can be arranged from Avalon and logistics adapt to ferry and private aircraft arrival schedules directly.
