Coconut Rentals

Want to rent snorkel gear in Aruba instead of bringing your own? If you're planning to snorkel from shore at Boca Catalina, Tres Trapi, Malmok or Mangel Halto, renting equipment can save luggage space and avoid buying gear you'll only use once or twice.
Coconut Rentals advertises adult snorkel sets starting from $7 and snorkel vests from $6. You can arrange equipment before your beach day and check rental dates and delivery options with the provider.
This guide covers snorkel equipment rental prices, what's included, how to arrange delivery and when renting makes more sense than buying or booking a guided snorkeling tour.

Check Snorkel Gear Rental PricesCoconut Rentals lists the following snorkeling equipment:
| Rental equipment | Advertised starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Adult snorkel set | $7 | Independent shore snorkeling |
| Adult snorkel vest | $6 | Additional buoyancy when used correctly |
The prices are advertised starting rates. Confirm the rental duration, equipment included, availability, delivery charges and final total before booking.
Renting an adult snorkel set is a convenient option if you're planning to explore Aruba's snorkeling beaches without purchasing your own equipment.
Before booking, confirm exactly what the set includes. In particular, ask whether fins are provided or whether the rental covers only a mask and snorkel.
Check the available sizes and whether the mask fits comfortably.
Best for: Visitors planning one or more independent snorkeling sessions.
Rent an Adult Snorkel SetCoconut Rentals also advertises adult snorkel vests.
A snorkel vest can provide additional buoyancy when correctly fitted and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
However, a snorkel vest is not necessarily an approved life jacket, and it does not replace swimming ability, supervision or suitable sea conditions.
Best for: Swimmers who want additional buoyancy and understand the equipment's limitations.
Check Snorkel Vest RentalsVisitors can arrange snorkeling equipment through rental companies, dive shops, watersports operators or tours that include gear.
Coconut Rentals is an option for travelers who prefer to arrange equipment alongside other beach essentials.
This can be convenient if you're also renting beach chairs, umbrellas or a cooler.
Unlike a guided snorkeling tour, an equipment rental does not automatically include a guide, boat trip or instruction.
Before reserving, confirm whether the equipment can be delivered to your accommodation or collected at an agreed location.
Browse Aruba Snorkel Equipment RentalsSeveral of Aruba's popular snorkeling locations are accessible from shore.
The right location depends on your swimming experience, visibility, wind and sea conditions.
Boca Catalina is a popular snorkeling beach on Aruba's northwestern coast.
It's a practical option for independent snorkeling when conditions are calm. You can enter from the beach and explore suitable areas without booking a boat tour.
A well-fitting mask and snorkel are essential, and fins can be useful.
Tres Trapi is known for snorkeling and occasional sea turtle sightings.
The entry is rocky, so take care when entering and leaving the water. Water shoes may help on the rocks.
Stay a respectful distance from turtles and never touch or chase marine life.
Malmok has rocky shoreline sections and snorkeling opportunities.
Check the sea conditions carefully before entering. Waves, currents and boat activity can make some areas unsuitable.
Mangel Halto offers mangroves and reef areas, but conditions vary significantly.
Some sections have deeper water and currents. Choose a suitable entry point and avoid swimming beyond your ability.
Baby Beach has a sheltered lagoon that attracts families and casual swimmers.
However, the opening toward the open sea can have dangerous currents. Stay within safe swimming areas and follow local warnings.

Not every snorkel rental includes the same equipment.
Before booking a set, confirm whether it contains:
Do not assume fins are included simply because a product is described as a snorkel set.
If you need equipment for children, confirm whether children's sizes are available. The advertised Coconut Rentals options supplied for this page are adult products.
A mask that doesn't seal properly can make snorkeling frustrating, even in calm water.
For detailed advice on selecting masks, fins and snorkels, see our Best Snorkel Gear for Aruba guide.
If you're planning several snorkeling sessions, ask whether you can rent equipment for the duration of your stay.
For example, you might snorkel at Boca Catalina one morning and visit Tres Trapi or Mangel Halto on another day.
Having equipment available at your accommodation can make those plans easier.
Check the provider's booking calendar for rental duration, pricing and availability. Do not assume that the advertised starting price covers multiple days or that a longer rental automatically includes a discount.
After each use, rinse equipment with fresh water if permitted by the provider's care instructions, and let it dry appropriately before storing it.
Check Rental Dates & AvailabilityCoconut Rentals advertises delivery options for beach equipment in Aruba.
If you're staying in an Airbnb, vacation villa, apartment or hotel, confirm whether your location is covered.
Before booking, check:
Delivery to your accommodation should not be confused with equipment being available at a specific snorkeling beach.
Check Coconut Rentals Delivery OptionsThe best option depends on how often you plan to snorkel and whether you want to explore independently.
| Your plans | Best option to consider |
|---|---|
| One or two independent shore snorkeling sessions | Rent snorkel gear |
| Several snorkeling trips throughout the year | Buy your own equipment |
| Prefer a mask with a familiar fit | Bring your own mask |
| Want a boat trip and guide | Book a snorkeling tour |
| Traveling with limited luggage space | Consider renting |
| New to snorkeling and need instruction | Consider a guided experience |
Renting makes sense when you want equipment without purchasing it.
Buying can be worthwhile if you'll snorkel regularly and want a mask that fits your face consistently.
A guided snorkeling tour is different: it may include transportation, equipment, instruction and access to offshore locations.

Before entering the water, check that your equipment fits and works correctly.
A snorkel vest can provide buoyancy, but it does not make unsafe conditions safe.
If you're unfamiliar with the location or uncomfortable snorkeling independently, consider an organized tour with appropriate instruction.
