What Makes This Private Boat Tour Different?

The boat is reserved for your group, with a captain handling navigation.

The experience is designed to combine coastal cruising, swimming and snorkeling without joining a shared tour.

Onboard features include cushioned seating, shaded areas and a Bluetooth sound system that allows you to play your own music.

The operator also advertises flexibility in how you spend your time, although specific routes and stops should be confirmed before departure.

Where Can You Snorkel?

The itinerary identifies three possible snorkeling locations along Aruba's coastline.

Boca Catalina

Boca Catalina is a popular snorkeling area on Aruba's northwestern coast.

The tour describes it as an option for exploring clear water and coral habitats.

It's one of the locations your captain may include during the excursion.

Malmok Reef

The area offers opportunities to observe underwater scenery and marine life.

Visibility and conditions vary.

Tres Trapi

Tres Trapi is also named as a possible snorkeling stop.
