Dolphin Catamaran Snorkel and Sail with Open Bar

2.Dolphin Catamaran Snorkel and Sail with Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,291 reviews · from $69

Sail Aruba’s coast aboard *The Dolphin* for two snorkel stops at the Antilla shipwreck and Boca Catalina Bay. Guides such as Frederick, Oscar, Rio, Jay, and Brandon help with the fun, while you get a light wrap-and-fruit lunch, drinks, a rope swing, and a spinning water slide. The three-hour trip leaves from Delphi Watersports near the Hyatt Regency.

“Best snorkeling/catamaran experience we’ve ever been on—and we’ve been on a lot. The vibe was low key and family friendly. Could have had maybe a tad more time at the shipwreck site (that’s where we saw a turtle), but the generous snorkeling time at the next site made up for it. We saw some corals doing a-okay and some unique reef fish. Ending the adventure with the rope swing was awesome! Highly recommend!”

The boat ride was refreshing and had a nice ship on the catamaran prepared by the skipper, wonderful views, about 30 min of swimming, snorkeling. The snorkeling equipment wasnt great and not much underwater sealife , so dont plan on itlooking like the Caribbean. The captain, Station was fun and full of stories”
