I don’t know.

Yes, you can take a helicopter to Catalina! I have been to Catalina a number of times over the years and because I love having new experiences have used different forms of transportation to do do. I have gone via tour boat out of San Pedro, flown in via 4-seater Cessna, flown in via helicopter, and flown out via seaplane. Each manner was both different and fun! The thing that surprised me about the helicopter is that prior to the flight, we had to fill out an application with one of the questions asking us about our weight, and yet, they still weighed each of us individually! LOL On the flight, there was the pilot, my friend and I, and a father and "teen/early twenties" daughter in the back. I was quite surprised at how "mild" the trip was; somehow I had imagined a more exciting feel to it; nonetheless, I can now say that I have flown in a helicopter! :)

You can take one of the vans called Wildlands Express that would take you to the airport and back. They are located on the main Avalon tours plaza. White vans operated by the Catalina Islamd Conservancy. And yes, they will accommodate toddlers and stoners. You may need to make a reservation at the Conservancy House near front street.
