XANADU CATALINA ISLAND ADVENTURE
September TBA
Crusie. Music. Yoga. Run. Explore.
Hop on our big red 3-decker boat as we cruise to Catalina Island for a day of sunshine and adventure! Fuel up with coffee, refreshments & brunch bites on the Sea Deck. Shop our favorite lifestyle brands at our Boat Boutique. On the Sun Deck, enjoy the fresh ocean air alongside live music and entertainment as we say hi to our dolphin friends.
Once on the island, find your zen with a 10-minute Mid Day Meditation & 45-minute Dj powered yoga class with Rebbeca Ryan @rebeccaryanfit. After a nice stretch, our run leader will pump you up, and blast you off on a quest through one of the most scenic trails southern California has to offer. Want to hike it? No problem, soak in the scenery – it will be sure to impress!
After the 5K, we chose our adventure:
– Explore the coast in our guided kayak excursion
– Relax on the white sand beach at our Harbor Sands beach BBQ and jump out with our island Dj (TBA)
Just before sunset, jump back on the boat for the best dance party ever had in the middle of the ocean, or simply power down with a cool libation as we watch the sun dip into the ocean. It’s THE XANADU LIFE!

What do I get with my ticket?
Your ticket to the Xanadu Catalina Island Adventure, guarantees you a wristband (given to you upon check-in & boarding the day of the event) for our Xanadu Cruise, yoga festivities, 5K island party, as well as access to all of our vendors, Xanadu stickers, give-a-ways, and sunset dance-off in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Pretty dope right?
What is the difference between a team and an individual?
Being alone ranks just below dying by buffalo. While there’s nothing wrong with running alone, splashing through the finish line with your friends seems a little more fun than splashing the fish.
Rally your friends, create a cool team name, dress up in your most festive matching island swag, and call it a day!
Can I volunteer?
This isn’t North Korea. Of course, you can. Just email us at Heidi@thexanadulife.com

3. Copy our URL and paste in anything you want with the message “Join me on this epic adventure!”
How do I edit my registration?
SIGN IN…click it and then enter your user name and password that you created when you registered. In the member area, you’ll be able to make changes to your team (if you’re the team captain) You’ll also be able to add a palapa, lawn chair or kayaking adventure and invite friends to run with you so they don’t feel left out as they did at your wedding.

Two Harbors is located about 18 miles from the only city in the Island, Avalon. Unlike Avalon, there are no hotels on this side of the island. The best way to experience Xanadu is to come on our cruise included in your ticket price.
