Here are the snorkel trips worth your morning, from Boca Catalina’s fish clouds to Malmok’s turtles: what you’ll see at each stop, how many stops you get, gear and open-bar details, and the price per person.

“Absolutely amazing! This was our last tour that we did in Aruba and I wish we could have done it twice in one trip! The catamaran is huge and absolutely beautiful, it was definitely one of the nicer boats out on the water. The three snorkel stops were perfect, we saw lots of different fish and saw sea turtles at two of our stops.

“Great outing for our first time in Aruba and first time snorkeling! Here for our 25th anniversary with our teenagers. All the stops were amazing, the buffet lunch was like being at a high end restaurant, the crew led by Caezar was upbeat, fun and helpful in every way. We wanted to book another outing with this crew as soon as it ended. Our kids 15, and 19 raved about the day saying it went too fast which it did. They also thanked us parents for booking it. Thank you for the great memories.”
