Safari Bus, Catalina Island

Photos taken April 27, 2008. Last updated May 9, 2008

While planning a trip to Catalina I could not find any information about the Safari Bus other than the official web site. As these photos suggest, the buses are converted school buses. On the day of my trip, the parking brake on the small Safari Bus froze in the engaged position at the Little Harbor bus stop, forcing the driver to switch to the larger bus.
