Funtastic Catalina Race - any good?

[LandlockedCruiser01]

I originally posted this in the Port of Call board, but it's not active enough, it seems.  I figured I'd get better input here.

 

I'll be stopping in Catalina on my next cruise.  One of the excursions offered is the Funtastic Catalina Race; it's 3 hours, and it's basically a scavenger hunt.  I've done those, and they're usually a lot of fun.  But do you get to visit any "must see" sights on the island?  Like the casino, the theater, or the historic downtown?  Or are you too busy looking for clues to help your team win, and not have time really explore the interesting parts?  

 

Would you recommend this excursion?  Or am I better off doing the Avalon Scenic Tour instead?
