Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Catalina Island City and Scenic Mount Ada Tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but the tour is recommended for ages 5 and up due to the nature of the tram ride and some steep areas. Younger kids might enjoy it, but it's good to have an adult with them to help if needed. Just make sure they can sit still for a bit and enjoy the sights!

Q: Can you recommend what to wear for the tour? I heard it can get windy up there.

A: Definitely dress in layers! Mornings can be chilly and breezy, especially at Mt. Ada, while it warms up during the day. A light jacket and comfy shoes are great. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen, too! You’ll want to be ready for all those photo ops.

Q: Is the tour sensitive to weather conditions? Can it get canceled?

A: Yes, weather can affect the tours. If it's raining or if winds are too strong, they might cancel for safety reasons. They usually notify you the day before, and you can reschedule without any hassle. Always best to check the weather ahead of time!
