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.

5.00The crew was so friendly. They helped everyone feel comfortable even if it was a first time. I accidentally dropped my phone in a waterproof case and the staff member found it.
Excellent service, beautiful both sports for snorkell. Very friendly and relaxed staff

5.00The snorkeling in Boca Catalina is beautiful since there is a lot of visibility and you are surrounded by shoals of fish. There is a wide variety of fish and fauna. The SS Antilles experience is unique. It looks quite a lot from the surface. It's pretty rough out there, but it's worth it. I like that it was optional to wear life jacket, drinks on board, glasses and frog legs of excellent quality. All flawless and super punctual. It's really worth it.

5.00This was an amazing experience from start to finish! The captain and crew were fantastic—friendly, energetic, and made the whole trip so enjoyable. We sat right by the captain, and his upbeat attitude really set the tone for the day. They had music playing, served appetizers and drinks, and took us out to our first snorkeling spot. Before we got in the water, they clearly explained how to use the life vests and snorkeling gear, which made everything easy and comfortable. The group size was perfect—not too crowded, so there was plenty of space to relax and move around the boat. One of the highlights was visiting the shipwreck—such an awesome experience! And to top it all off, when we docked, they surprised me by singing happy birthday, and Lisa even gave me a celebratory shot. Overall, it was an unforgettable time and I would absolutely recommend this experience!
AMAZING EXPERIENCE

5.00Great trip, “two” sites were separated by about 200 yards 🤪 but the wind meant it would have been difficult to swim between them. Crew was awesome, gear they provided was good enough for the half day. Glad they had fins! First site was great for turtles, saw at least 1/2 dozen. Second shipwreck site had tons of fish, more turtles. Really breathtaking! Back on board for fun & drinks on the return trip.
Great!!!

5.00“It was an incredible experience! The on-board team was super attentive and experienced, the tour itself was really fun, with two stops in paradisiacal places! The 3-hour tour duration was perfect! Diving equipment in great condition! I was with a 6-year-old child who also enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommend!“
Stay away!

1.00I would not recommend this experience. My family and I visited on April 21, 2026, and unfortunately, it was disappointing from start to finish. The experience began poorly at the front desk, where the staff came across as unfriendly and unprofessional. As the tour continued, the situation didn’t improve. The crew made inappropriate jokes and behaved in a way that felt disrespectful rather than entertaining. Overall, it left us with a very negative impression. In the entertainment industry, professionalism and respect toward guests are essential. I strongly suggest better staff training to improve the overall experience. Sadly, based on our visit, I would not encourage others to participate.
We saw a shipwreck!

5.00Really great adventurous tour. Saw an actual shipwreck with snorkeling and also another area that was more shallow but better for the nervous. Great ride and yummy snacks. Open bar was fun and nice boat. Great guides.
