Put on your snorkeling gear and descend under the crystal-clear turquoise waters and immediately find yourself transported into an underwater paradise on this fun and interactive water excursion. In these shallow waters of Catalina Bay you will brush up on your snorkeling skills as you spot angel fish, damsel fish and more swimming around sea fans and coral. New to snorkeling - not a problem! Your experienced captain and guide will patiently work with you to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. We can accommodate up to 10 people on our Bayliner. Every extra hour is $125.00 per booking. Please let us know if you would like to add extra time. The balance can be paid in cash on the beach, on the day of sailing

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!

5.00Great private snorkeling experience with Octopus. Captain Lex was terrific in bringing us to two sites and in giving us snorkeling guidance. Had gone with Octopus a number of times and this was the first time with Captain Lex. Communication prior to excursion was excellent. Highly recommend.
One of the best things to do in Aruba

5.00Such a fun way to snorkel and get around. Way better than party barge type options! Lex was awesome. Learned history of shipwreck and he was careful letting us choose where and how long to stay on a rough ish day. Waist floats helped ! And showed us th best spots he snorkels. Saw sooooo many fish and. Sea turtles and never bumped into anyone else !
Love you lex

SUNSET SAILING IN ARUBA

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My sister and I along with many of our cruise mates, took a Sunset Sail with Octopus Aruba. The Captain and Crew were awesome! They made sure we were comfortable and well fed with six different appetizers and wonderful beverages! The entertainment of the evening, besides the sunset, was a kite sailor that came around showing off his talents. I would recommend this excursion to anyone that loves sunsets on the water.
