Catamaran Sail, Shipwreck Snorkel & Turtles

From $125
Catamaran Sail, Shipwreck Snorkel & Turtles

Turquoise the entire way: a catamaran under sail, a sunken ship to hover above, a beach for relaxing, and turtles who may swim over to say hello.

Push off from Mangel Halto and drop straight in over the shipwreck lying just offshore — Aruba's best-known snorkel site. The catamaran then carries you to Nikki Beach for a stop with no agenda, cruises past Eagle Beach (routinely called one of the loveliest on earth), and anchors at Tres Trapi for the second swim in water clear enough to see everything. Lunch is your pick: lemon-garlic grouper, grilled mushroom chicken or a vegetarian plate. The bar stays open throughout.
