Afternoon Snorkel Adventure

The Afternoon Snorkel Adventure is the shorter, later Jolly Pirates snorkel trip. It runs three hours instead of four, and it leaves after lunch.

The trade the Afternoon Snorkel Adventure asks you to make

Be honest with yourself about conditions. Aruba’s water is calmest and clearest early, because the trade wind builds through the day.

So a morning boat usually gives you better visibility. However, an afternoon departure gives you a morning you do not have to get up for.

That matters if you have just landed. It also matters if you are travelling with children who are still on another timezone.

What you get

Three hours on a full-size sailing boat, with snorkeling stops and gear included. Departure time and current stops are on the operator’s booking page.

The alternatives

For the longer version, book Sail, Snorkel, Swim, and Swing instead. For the evening, there is the sunset sail.

Alternatively, skip the boat. Boca Catalina and Malmok Beach are both free from the shore. More options sit under snorkeling tours.
