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.

Those 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

Crew 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!

Awesome 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!

Loved 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!

This tour was one of the best tours of our trip. Big D, Frandy and Aldrik (I hope I spelled those right!) were awesome! They were funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. The vibe was all fun but they definitely made sure we knew all the safety protocols. Really appreciate the great care and attention they took in making sure we all had a good time. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Highly recommend to everyone, including families.
I really enjoyed this...

I really enjoyed this excursion. This stuff was awesome. The only thing I did not like the appetizers you get three appetizers, and the meatballs were a little too salty. The drinks were also watered down and made me feel sick seeing the shipwreck in the tropical fish and sea turtles was amazing and made up for the food and drinks.
The sailing was cancelled by the company

It was cancelled within 24 hours so we did not get to go. The positive was that we have been told that a refund was sent quickly
