What To Expect
Snorkeling is one of the best and easiest ways to discover Aruba's Underwater Marine life. Board one of Red Sail Aruba’s luxury catamarans to take you to two of Aruba's best snorkel spots; the Antilla shipwreck and Boca Catalina. Refuel and refresh with bite-sized appetizers and a fully stocked open bar.
Boca Cataavlina
Located off the northwestern tip of Aruba, small and secluded Catalina Bay offers placid, transparent waters, the ideal spot to refresh or learn snorkeling skills. After a safety briefing, slip on provided snorkeling gear and jump in! Dip your mask underwater and marvel at a wonderland of tropical fish. In the shallow waters reaching a depth of approx. 15 feet (5 meters), you may see queen angelfish, schools of blue parrotfish and damselfish swimming around nearby coral and sea fans.

Wonderful day snorkeling

5.00This experience was the highlight of our Aruba trip. The crew was so friendly and informative. We made two stops for snorkeling. One was a shipwreck and the other was an area with lots of sea turtles. Highly recommend our crew Dennis, Lizzie and Junior were the best!
Great value, great trip!

5.00Great experience. The crew made this such a fun time with their wonderful, outgoing personalities! Very reasonably priced; I would have paid that amount for the catamaran ride alone, so having an open bar and two opportunities to snorkel was great!
Must do when visiting Aruba!

5.00Those who do cruise have few hours in each port of escalation, so the activity has to be worth it! This tour is guaranteed fun for all who love to explore the sea with snorkeling. The two stops (at Cathalina beach and at the shipwreck), are amazing, for the show that nature provides. There are lots of fish and coral to see, lots to explore. The catamaran is large and quite comfortable, in addition to fun, including a slide for those who like to enter once in the sea. The team on my tour was the Fiesta boat and the name already says it all. Party, party, party. My special thanks to Lizie for her kindness and attention. It shocks everyone, making fun guaranteed! From the cruise port to the dive site you can see the main beaches of the island, so even if you are not a snorkeling fan, it is still worth it for the landscape. The photos are from the places where we stopped and also from the various beaches we passed on the route from the ship.
Excellent and worthwhile

4.00Crew very competent and gave confidence at snorkel sites - the captain a skilled free diver - very impressive. Only hard liquor on board which we don’t do so it was pop and juice - music too loud (but we are old and boring!)
Great experience!

5.00Awesome experience! Catamaran was in great shape, snorkel gear was too. Captain Dan and Lizzie were fantastic. Saw lots of fish and turtles. We come to aruba every few years and always have an excellent excursion with red sail!

5.00Loved this tour, unfortunately we went on a very windy day so seeing the wreck was a bit of work fighting the current but saw some incredible fish and sea turtles, the crew was awesome and the drinks and snacks were great. Definitely would recommend!
