People are taking to the trees on Catalina Aerial Adventure, a unique and challenging outdoor experience at Descanso, SoCal’s favorite island entertainment and adventure destination. Catalina Aerial Adventure is just a short stroll from Descanso Beach Club, but you’ll feel like you’re deep in the woods, as you climb, swing and crawl through a series of challenging obstacles suspended in a grove of towering eucalyptus. Five self-guided, self-paced courses—each made up of rope ladders, log bridges, balance beams, zip lines, and other elements—are arranged in beginner (2), intermediate (2) and advanced (1) configurations, offering aerial excitement for everyone, regardless of skill or athletic ability.

A challenging, but fun experience for all levels wanting to try out a different adventure while visiting Catalina. It’s a great intro into mini zip lines for those wanting to experience it out without being so high up. It will test your balance but luckily the guides give an in depth training before starting plus you wear a safety harness which gives you peace of mind throughout the course.
Thank you for your awesome review!
Super fun and intense! Different difficulties and guides train you but let you pretty much go at your own pace!

The obstacles courses were much more challenging than I anticipated but it was a lot of fun. They require a lot of arm and core strength. The staff was friendly, attentive and motivational.

For people, old and young, that love the outdoors and obstacle courses (think Wipeout or Physique 100), this is a must. Never have done much like this before and now I can't wait to come back do it the whole course. Got me out of my comfort zone and it was nothing but fun.

Nat and Elena were amazing! It was so fun on the ZipLines and they made it not at all scary! I would definitely recommend!
Thank you for your high star rating! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience on the Catalina Aerial Adventure.
Wow wow wow the BEST zip line experience ever! This was a girls getaway with my 2 daughters. MJ & Nicla were absolutely brilliant, kind, funny & amazing in so many ways. Not only they made us feel so comfortable, but they helped facilitate the most phenomenal conversations during our five different zip lines. I actually felt a whole new sense of connections with my daughters because of them. Not sure if they do these type of authentic conversations with people but it was definitely a wow experience! One I will cherish forever! The sisters got to share about their love for each other, and we got to sing songs together, and as a mother, it was an absolute joy to get to experience that with them. I hope they get the praise. They deserve and fully acknowledged. Also, the check-in was phenomenal as Dallas provided the best customer service with so much fun & play!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, Peymaneh! We're thrilled to hear that MJ, Nicla, and Dallas made your Zip Line adventure so memorable. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again for more fun!
