Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Experience Aruba's magical marine life as you set sail aboard a spacious catamaran and snorkel at two spectacular locations. A friendly crew will take you snorkeling around the historical Antilla shipwreck, the largest and most famous in the Caribbean, now home to Myriad Fish and colorful corals. Upgrade your tour to include a Snuba experience and you'll combine the simplicity of snorkeling with the depth of scuba diving in Aruba. During your ‘happy hour’ sail, enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks from the open bar!
