Great Tour

Our tire guide was knowledgeable and knew practically everyone in the island. Not only did we get to visit spots I would have overlooked, but he was able to share many experiences from the locals to his own personal. Worth every penny!

Very disappointed in our...

Very disappointed in our tour guide. We never made it to the casino which is we why we bought this tour. The guide told us more about his family and recent murders than paranormal activity. We left the tour early.

Operator response

Dear Sandy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our goal is to provide a tour that combines Catalina's fascinating history with its documented paranormal stories and local legends. While our guides often share personal experiences to help bring the island's history to life, the focus should always remain on the tour itself and the locations our guests are expecting to visit. I also apologize that the tour did not reach the Catalina Casino as you had anticipated. I understand how disappointing that must have been, especially if that was one of the primary reasons you chose our tour. We genuinely value your comments, as they help us improve our tours and provide additional coaching to our guides when needed. Your feedback will be shared with our team to ensure we continue delivering the experience our guests expect. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to improve, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Sincerely, Haunted Catalina Island Ghost Tours LLC

Exceptional Tour

Second tour here; another excellent experience. Phil and Sal are phenomenal, highly recommended. Stories are fascinating. I love the history of the island, but they both convey it in a way that makes these tours the highlight of my experience on the island. Too much to write. Take the tour, you will see!

Haunted Tour

Great presentation . Lots of unknown history about Catalina Island. The stories about what took place both years ago and within 25 years ago were eerie.

What lies beneath will blow your mind!!

Phil was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable as a 5th generation islander. His personal experiences gave credibility to each story he told. My daughter and I take ghost tours in every town we visit and this one by far was the most credible tour guide we’ve ever had! Hang on to him! He admitted this was his 3rd tour, with time he will become more “polished”, but he has the knowledge and experience people would die for!! He was very attentive to the needs of the group and answered all questions honestly. We both enjoyed the night so much and would recommend Phil and this company to anyone visiting… you have no idea what stories this island holds and what lies beneath!!!

Paranormal pictures

It was a fun walk and definitely got the creeps that night. They told us a story about the Casino and how sometimes people will see a woman on the restroom and how sometimes people will se a completely different face in the mirror. Well for me i looked back at the pictures we took inside the casino theatre and two of my pictures my face looks completely different or disfigured. In one it looked like a crazy smile. And on the other one I look like someone completely different! So creepy. If I’m able to post pictures here I will.

It really depends on who gives the tour.

This is my second time taking this tour. I really enjoyed it the first time with a different guide. This time not so great.
