Visitors can board the Blanche W in Avalon, spend the day in Two Harbors, and return to their hotel in Avalon that evening. Alternately, visitors in Two Harbors can stay the day in Avalon and return to Two Harbors in the evening.

The coastline cruise tour departs Avalon Saturdays at 9:00am and makes the return trip from Two Harbors at 5:30pm. The tour departs Two Harbors at 10:30pm and makes the return trip from Avalon at 4:00pm. No pets, camping gear or suticases are allowed on the tour. 

The Blanche W is a classic 64-foot long open-deck wooden vessel built in 1924 specifically for cruising the waters around Catalina Island. Coastline cruise guests will board the Blanche W on the Green Pier and should arrive 15 minutes prior to departure.
