Once you’ve boarded, we’ll set sail through the tranquil lagoon. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic sightseeing cruise through Spanish Waters, where stunning waterfront villas and impressive yachts line the shores. After a comfortable ride, we arrive at our first snorkel stop: the famous Tugboat Wreck—one of the island’s top snorkeling sites and the best way to experience it. Dive into crystal-clear waters and explore the sunken tugboat, vibrant coral formations, and an abundance of marine life. Next, we head to a second snorkel location at a shallow reef just around the corner, giving you another chance to enjoy Curaçao’s National Underwater Park. While you’re snorkeling, our crew prepares a delicious BBQ buffet lunch on board. You’ll also enjoy an open bar featuring soft drinks, fruit punch, water, beer, wine, rum, vodka, and rum punch (selection subject to availability). ## Before you book - Meeting point: On the left side of the roundabout at… - Starts 10:00: one departure a day - Food included: BBQ lunch - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €91 per person - Duration: 4h 30m - Rating: 4.76/5 from 176 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Irie Tours - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Dutch, Spanish - Start times: 10:00 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-06 ## Reviews 4.76 from 176 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 94% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 166 of 176. - 5 stars: 149 (85%) - 4 stars: 17 (10%) - 3 stars: 6 (3%) - 2 stars: 2 (1%) - 1 star: 2 (1%) ## What's included - Alcoholic Beverages - Use of Snorkelling equipment - BBQ lunch - Restroom on board ## Not included - Gratuities - We offer pick up on selected hotels for USD 15.00 ## Itinerary 1. **Swim along the Coral Reefs to see lots of fish and even a sunken tugboat** (1h) 2. **We anker at Baya beach / Caracasbay while our friendly crew prepares a delici...** (2h) - We anker at Baya beach / Caracasbay while our friendly crew prepares a delicious BBQ lunch and serve you tasty tropical drinks.
