Avalon Bike and Golf Cart Rentals

After getting to Avalon, you’ll notice right away that the downtown area is easy to enjoy on foot. To see the hills around Avalon, visitors often choose a golf cart, pedal bike, or electric bike. Golf carts are offered hourly, with a 2-hour maximum. Pedal bikes and electric bikes may be rented by the hour, for a half day, or for a full day.

Golf carts are only permitted within the City of Avalon; renters should use the provided route map and follow the rules of the road. Pedal bikes and electric bikes may be taken into the interior when you have a bike permit from the Catalina Island Conservancy. For details, visit the Conservancy's Trailhead building.

If you want to experience more than a day trip can fit in, reserve a Catalina hotel or vacation rental and spend 1 night or 2. Many vacation rentals include a golf cart for guests, letting you begin exploring as soon as you arrive.
