Stop 1
Experience Aruba's abundant marine life like never before with a SEABOB. This latest innovation in personal watercraft allows you to glide smoothly over more reef areas than a regular snorkel trip. Our professionally trained guides will take you on an unforgettable marine adventure!
Our first stop is the "Antillia" shipwreck, known as one of the best wrecks to snorkel in the Caribbean. After 80 years underwater, it remains intact and teeming with marine life and coral growth. With spectacular visibility, you will witness this historic ship come alive with underwater life.
2
Next we will snorkel over Boca Catalina, a shallow reef with a full array of fan favorites like angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, squid and octopus.
3
Continuing along the coast, we arrive at a tiny sandy cove nestled in the rocky limestone overhang known as "Tres Trapi". Hundreds of red cushion starfish lay right under you on the white sand sea floor. The highlight will be getting to swim with our enchanting sea turtles as they make Tres Trapi one of their favorite hangouts.
