Catalina Island Horseback Adventure is a new adventure offering launching in December 2024, designed to take riders through the picturesque landscapes and historic trails of Catalina Island. The experience blends the island’s rich cultural heritage with thrilling horseback riding excursions.
Catalina Island, with its sun-kissed hills, ocean vistas, and storied past, has long been a destination for dreamers, explorers, and adventurers. Nestled just off the coast of Southern California, its rugged beauty beckons travelers to discover its secrets. And now, with Catalina Island Horseback Adventures, we invite you to experience the island like days gone by —on horseback, exploring its hidden trails, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes.
Our story begins decades ago, when the island’s wild, untamed spirit was matched only by the strength and grace of the horses that roamed its hills. In the early 20th century, the Wrigley family—whose name is synonymous with the island’s development—brought horses to Catalina as part of their grand vision. In the 1930s, they established El Rancho Escondido, a world-class Arabian horse ranch that became a major attraction, drawing visitors from all corners of the country to experience Catalina’s unique charm.
Catalina Island has always been a place where nature and adventure converge. For generations, visitors have marveled at the island’s stunning geography, from its rolling hills to its sweeping ocean views. But those who experienced it on horseback knew that Catalina offered something even more—an intimate connection to its land, history, and wild spirit.
Inspired by this legacy, Catalina Island Horseback Adventures was born to revive and reimagine the tradition of horseback riding on Catalina. We set out to create a new chapter in the island’s story, one where both locals and visitors can reconnect with the land in the most authentic way possible—through the eyes of the pioneers, ranchers, and adventurers who came before us.
