Being from a city where perpetually sitting in heavy traffic, staring at the taillights of endless cars, is the way of life, this was a freedom almost never experienced. I thought that the bikes would be somewhat anticlimactic after the segways, but I was wrong.

And it was worth every penny.Ĭ ruising on Electric Bikes – Equipped with battery powered bikes (with throttle!) and a map of the town, we spent our last afternoon exploring Avalon at our leisure. This off-road segway tour was pricey at $89/person + tips however, we figure that we will never do anything this ridiculous again. It was a glorious morning the sky was clear and we were able to see for miles from our mountaintop vantage point – from the lush green of the golf course to the colorful little town of Avalon, and finally endless blue until ocean, clouds, and sky melded into one. Apparently yes, we are that lazy and yes, we had a blast! This 2-hour tour took us high into the mountain roads where the terrain is rough and the view is breathtaking. Even if all you need to do is stand still on a machine. But attach ‘off-road’ to even the most ridiculous of activities and it becomes a crazy adventure. Off-Road Segways – I’ve always thought segways were kinda funny… it’s impossible to take a mall cop/security officer on a segway seriously and tourists just look like lazy dorks. Our second day was dedicated to exploring the island – indulging in island eats, browsing the shops, and of course, no trip to Catalina is complete without breathing in the amazing views from up top. Yes, we spotted a student driver! Not even kidding…
