If you think your big B-day is something special, you are right! Catalina Express thinks so, anyway. The company that delivers hundreds of thousands of guests to Catalina Island on a regular basis (and also operates the Aquabus and Aqualink in Long Beach) gives you a free trip to Catalina Island on your birthday– no catch. It turns out that you will nearly always be sharing your boat ride and Island birthday with others who have the same birthday, too! When you wear the ribbon you will hear: “Happy birthday to you!”
