Join us for an unforgettable snorkel cruise aboard our beautiful double-decker motorized catamaran.
Once you’ve boarded, we’ll set sail through the tranquil lagoon. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic sightseeing cruise through Spanish Waters, where stunning waterfront villas and impressive yachts line the shores.
After a comfortable ride, we arrive at our first snorkel stop: the famous Tugboat Wreck—one of the island’s top snorkeling sites and the best way to experience it. Dive into crystal-clear waters and explore the sunken tugboat, vibrant coral formations, and an abundance of marine life.
Next, we head to a second snorkel location at a shallow reef just around the corner, giving you another chance to enjoy Curaçao’s National Underwater Park. While you’re snorkeling, our crew prepares a delicious BBQ buffet lunch on board. You’ll also enjoy an open bar featuring soft drinks, fruit punch, water, beer, wine, rum, vodka, and rum punch (selection subject to availability).

Nice boat, great crew

5.00Crew was wonderful. Snorkeling was okay, but not spectacular and it is really only one snorkel stop. The boat moves about one hundred yards to the “second” stop.
Absolutely must try when in Curacao!

5.00We had an amazing time on the half-day boat trip! Be sure to get there early as the boat leaves right on time, if not early. Captain Esther & her team were so attentive - they truly made the experience worthwhile. Everyone’s dietary restrictions were noted and the lunch was DELICIOUS! Snorkeling was okay, not too many tropical fish and we did get stung by lots of small jellies. I wouldn’t let that discourage anyone from booking, the overall experience was fabulous!
Super fun snorkel tour

5.00Nice trip and well organized. Clear explanation of the trip. The bar opens immediately with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. 2 snorkeling spots close together including Tugboat. Then delicious lunch with chicken skewers, beef skewers, chorizo sausage, div salads, baguette , wrap and fruit. Cozy music on board. The crew was friendly and welcoming!
Best Time Ever!!!

1.00Was unable to get a taxi from the Royal Caribbean port to the meeting destination after trying for an hour. Actually found employees from Irie tours at the port and explain to them what was going on, their response was basically "too bad so sad" So we lost $250, ruined the entire day for our family because Curacao port authority directs taxis and frankly they suck. Now we are being told we can't get a refund even though none of this was our fault. Will be processing a chargeback and posting a one-star review.
The boat was not a...

3.00The boat was not a catamaran, it was like a tugboat and there as no seating on the main deck if you wanted shade, so had to stand to eat our lunch. Lunch was over cooked. We have booked previous tours with Irie tours and they have been very good.
Coolest experience of my entire life!!!!!!!!

Beautiful day under the sun and wind, then underwater

4.00It was a nice excursion! I thought we were going to two snorkeling spots. We went to the wave shelter during the second stop. At first, it's a bit long, the walk in the Spanish bay, but we enjoy it, under the sun and the wind. The wreck was interesting to see, with schools of fish. Great music, very good BBQ, unlimited drink with the super Sandy who made such great cocktails and all the wonderful staff who are attentive and kind. Points for improvement: specify during the many shipments where we can park, not easy when we arrive in the morning! The one who was supposed to give us the masks and snorkel (Kevin?) forgot several people on the deck upstairs, including me, but I had my equipment. Too bad there were no fins, because it helps a lot. I've done this kind of excursion in several countries and this is the first time that life jackets are not offered, but rather floating noodles (or fries or spaghetti). On the security side, it is special; those with young children, to think about it. Otherwise, a great day.
Just decided to go on vacation and we took this excursion randomly, was a great choice with plenty of fun.

5.00The open air bus ride to and from our hotel was a fun experience with plenty to see with the other guests being picked up at other hotels. We were on the double-decker motorized catamaran for the Half day Snorkel and Lunch. The grilled food was excellent and the open bar was an excellent bonus, also enjoyed the music and the snorkelling sites. The captain and crew were great and answered any questions we had. Met plenty of people on board and created many great memories. Excellent half day excursion.
