Price by option

Which option to book

The single option costs $900 per boat for up to 10 people. You get 3 hours with snorkeling gear and soft drinks.

Option Price Departures
3 Hours Private Boat Includes Snorkeling & Swim with turtles · 10 seats $900 per vehicle · $90 a head when full 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Means: If 10 of you want the 3 snorkel stops, you pay $90 each. A group of 6 pays $150 each.

The catch: You still pay $900 per boat with just 2 people. That's $450 each.

Route

How does the day work?

The boat makes 3 snorkeling stops over 3 hours, with Tres Trapi last.

  1. 45 min
    1. Antilla Shipwreck Aruba

    You spend 45 minutes snorkeling above the Antilla wreck.

  2. 45 min
    2. Boca Catalina

    Boca Catalina gives you 45 minutes to snorkel over coral formations.

  3. 60 min
    3. Tres Trapi Steps

    You have 60 minutes at Tres Trapi to snorkel and look for green sea turtles.

The stops total 150 of the 180 minutes. You have 30 minutes left for boat travel. Tres Trapi comes last on the 4 p.m. departure before the 7 p.m. return.

Pickup and meeting point

  • Meeting point: You meet in front of the Island Cabana Hut. You arrange your own transport there.
  • Return: The boat returns to the same meeting point in front of the Island Cabana Hut.

From the desk

  • A smaller group doesn't pay less. I'd budget the same $900 per boat even if only 2 of you go.

Fit

Is this tour right for you?

Choose it if up to 10 of you want 3 snorkel stops within 3 hours. Tres Trapi gets 60 minutes for snorkeling and looking for turtles. You pay $900 per boat and arrange your own transport to the Island Cabana Hut.

For a cheaper trip with up to 6 people, Delphi's speedboat costs $385 per boat for 2 hours with snorkeling. For pickup between the Renaissance and the Ritz Carlton, Around Aruba costs $77 per adult for 10 adults over 3 hours.

Means: I'd book the 3 hour trip at 9 a.m. You get all 3 snorkel stops.

Who it's not for

  • Choose another boat if your group has more than 10 people.
  • Skip it if you need hotel pickup.
  • Choose another charter if $450 each for 2 people is beyond your budget.
