Sail Away To This Mississippi Island For An Unforgettable Experience

Cat Island is one of several barrier islands that lie just off of Mississippi’s coast. The nearby island is the perfect destination for an unforgettable day trip. Luckily, accessing it is easy thanks to Cat Island Excursions. In addition to providing transportation to and from the island, the company offers a variety of tours. Take a look:

Open each year from May through the end of September, Cat Island Excursions takes guests on a "nature excursion" to Cat Island's bayou and beach.

The adventure begins at Pass Christian Harbor, where you’ll board a 36’ boat, the "Guardian."

Departure time depends on the cruise you select. Choose between the Morning Tour, which leaves at 9 am, or the Sunset Cruise, which leaves at 5 pm.

Fun for all ages, the Morning Tour takes about 3 hours. During that time, you’ll venture into the bayou and get a unique peek at the diverse wildlife that lives on the island.

You’ll also stop long enough to get off the boat and enjoy the peace and tranquility of a secluded beach.

The cost of this cruise is $45/person.

A popular choice for couples, the 2-hour Sunset Cruise is a romantic escape like no other.

The evening boat ride is sure to provide lots of picture perfect moments, including gorgeous sunset vistas.

The cost of this cruise is $35/person.

No matter which cruise you take, you’ll likely get some up close views of dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife, so be sure to bring along your camera.

With fishing, wade fishing, and kayak trips also available, there really is something for everyone.

Are you ready to pay a visit to Cat Island? Seating on the Guardian is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot ahead of time.
