Why Fly to Aruba for Snorkeling?
Aruba sits outside the Atlantic hurricane belt and receives over 300 sunny days per year -- making it one of the most reliable snorkeling destinations in the Caribbean. Unlike most islands, Aruba's west coast is permanently sheltered from ocean swell, delivering flat-calm conditions and visibility up to 25 metres year-round.
Once you land at AUA, every major snorkel spot is within a 40-minute drive. Eagle rays patrol the northwest reef at Malmok and Mangel Halto. Sea turtles feed on seagrass at Boca Catalina. The Antilla -- one of the world's largest accessible shipwrecks -- is visible from the surface in clear conditions. Baby Beach provides a perfectly protected lagoon for families and beginners.
Best Time to Fly to Aruba for Snorkeling
The peak snorkeling season is December through April -- the dry season. Visibility peaks at 20-25m and eagle rays are most active January through March. Flights are most expensive during this period, so book early (3+ months ahead) and consider flying mid-week. May and November offer an excellent shoulder season with great conditions at significantly lower airfares.
