Stop 3
The Antilla is a German merchant vessel that lays in front of the coast of Aruba. It's one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean, measuring 600ft (180m) long. It is a historical sight that you will be able to see just by snorkeling above it. The story is that the German captain did not want to turn over to his enemy and decided to sink the ship when he was asked to surrender. The tour guide will take you there safely and also show you the beautiful marine life that surrounds it.

Stop 4
The Malmok beach area in Aruba has plenty of beautiful snorkeling spots. In that rather shallow area, you will see small and large colored fishes. A unique sight is the baboo shipwreck, this was placed many years ago to create a natural habitat for the fishes. In this area we will also be spotting turtles from the boat. Turtles are protected in Aruba, and there are many of them swimming in that area freely. It is very safe and easy to snorkel in this area.
