What To Expect
Just about 150 feet south of Boca Catalina is Malmok beach. Even though this is a small beach with a lot of stones when you enter the water, this is one of Aruba's best snorkel spots. It is not crowded, most of the time we are the only ones there!

5.00We’ve been coming to Aruba for years- and not sure how we’d never snorkeled the Arashi reef before. Amazing experience. Lex was exactly what we needed- chill, funny, a subject matter expert in all things- and the absolute highlight of the trip. Thank you so much! We will be back.
Best snorkeling ever!

5.00We booked an 11:30am private tour with Captain Lex. He was great! He knew all the secret spots and we saw sea turtles and a whole kingdom of fish. All kinds of species. We even saw crabs. Imagine being in an aquarium but in it :) They were all very close to us. We have been snorkeling in many places and this was by far the best experience we had. Kids are 11 and 14 and they had snorkeling equipments for them. Highly recommend!
Perfect morning on the water

5.00Captain Shaka #Bachelorette Nederland made our two hour snorkeling experience memorable. He was easy going and knowledgeable about the island. We visited the shipwreck which was a first time snorkeling experience, saw turtles & lots of other fish and sea creatures. It was a little chill, no fast driving and stayed near Palm and Eagle Beach area. Next time would like to see more of the island via boat but he delivered what we paid for. He makes a mean rum punch and we would highly recommend and go again.
Fantastic tour would definitely recommend !!!
