Aruba Palm Pleasure Snorkel Adventure
Oranjestad, Aruba
Take in all the pleasures of the sea by enjoying a half-day sail and snorkel experience on a spacious 70-foot long catamaran. Lulled by the rhythm of the sea, lie on the expansive sun deck or enjoy a cocktail under the shaded cabin top. When you are ready to experience the beauty of the sea below the waterline, allow the friendly crew to assist you as you prepare for your snorkeling adventure. Snorkeling stops include the coral-laden Antilla Shipwreck, fish-friendly Boca Catalina and the unique Arashi reef. During your snorkel experience indulge in a delicious lunch prepared by top island chefs or sample a cool tropical drink or beer from the open bar.
Why not upgrade and add on a Snuba adventure?
SNUBA
If you like to snorkel, but not ready for scuba, then try Snuba (SNorkel+scUBA)! Aruba's most popular underwater activity. Explore the beauty of Aruba's underwater world in the most convenient way. 'Go Beyond Snorkeling' and breath easily underwater without wearing heavy restrictive scuba diving gear. No snorkeling or scuba certification needed. A private guided tours permits underwater explorers as young as 8 years old to safely descend to a depth of 20 feet with the aid of a SNUBA instructor exclusively available with De Palm Water sports (45 minutes, including instruction).
Please note: passengers arriving to Aruba on cruise ship cannot book this tour
I worked with the company to ensure I would have gluten free options to eat, especially since there was drinking involved. After much correspondence back and forth prior to the trip I was confident this would not be a problem. However it was, I was extremely disappointed.

The selected snorkeling sites provided a mixed result as far as observable sea life, but when you go snorkeling that is part of the bargain. The crew was well trained and professional. We use our own snorkel gear, but from what I saw the equipment provided was in good condition and worked well in the water. While I think all snorkel boats are overcrowded, this one was no worse than average. There was a lunch provided with a number of entrée options and the drinks were complementary. All things considered, a nice time on the water.

We booked the tour that included a light breakfast and lunch for our family. It was a lovely day! The group of men working on the boat are very friendly, fun, helpful, hardworking, and efficient. The food was great and the drinks were perfect, amazing service. The only downside to this tour was that there were 84 people in the group. It wasn't a problem on the boat, plenty of space. However, in the water, I was kicked a few times by other guests. Overall, a super fun day with a professional company. Just be careful when in the water.

Wow what an incredible experience! My husband and I went on this tour during our honeymoon and it was absolutely incredible. The crew on board the catamaran was so much fun, each of them so kind, funny and helpful. I felt like we had more than enough time at each stop to really enjoy the snorkeling. Me and my husband also added on the Snuba package and man was that worth it! I've had a phobia of deep water my entire life so this was a challenge for me, but our instructor RJ really put me at ease and stuck with me the entire time - it was so cool seeing the shipwreck up close and we will never forget it! Highly highly highly recommend this tour, would do it again in a heartbeat!

Review by: Jacki L, July 2016
Great accommodations with bus ride to boat, lunch and all equipment.. Typical tourist event, but well run and well organized. Lots of swimming and snorkeling. Glad I booked it early and went.
Review by: Laurie R, July 2016
This tour was not only beautiful, but gave you plenty of time at each location. I was worried that it would be too short of a trip, but it lasted the perfect amount of time! The crew was wonderful and I would absolutely book with them again.

Fun tour, didn't go very far though, just up the beach from the resort.Would have been nice to sail around a bit more.

Review by: Bruce B, April 2016
This cruise is a blast! The crew was outstanding, the boat was well sorted, the places visited were fantastic we went back to Boca Catalina for more snorkeling! and the meal served was awesome. I cannot remember a better start on a Monday morning in quite sometime!

People were great. Boat and food were also great. Snorkeling locations not very good but still fun.

This is the second snorkel tour we took with DePalm and were not disappointed. The staff is very friendly, the food is excellent quality and the snorkeling is fabulous. Highly recommend and we will book again next time we are in Aruba.

we had a magnificent snorkeling adventure with Aruba Palm. Food was delicious and those working on the boat helped make it a fun filled day.

Um dos melhores passeios da ilha, catamarã show de bola, não deixe de fazer o snuba, faça-o no segundo ponto de mergulho que tem um barco afundado! Vale muito a pena. As fotos do passeio vem em um pen drive e o valor é 40$ USD

really upset with Viator web site...i have submitted a review of this trip 2 separate times...in both instances, the review was lost...I'm not going to waste my time with this poorly desinged website
Review by: michelle_naftzger, August 2014
We added the snuba option. My kids (10 and 13) loved it!!!! By far better then snorkeling. We had really choppy water for one of the stops, but still a great time. The lunch was really nice. I was expecting sandwiches or something, but it was a nice hot lunch. Great time!
Review by: Elaine T, July 2014
Beautiful Palm Beach! Turquoise water is so clear and calm... You could take your time to explore the ocean/underwater. Open bar is included too ^.^
Review by: David M Thomson T, July 2014
Ok. Paid for snub and went first so the scenery was less than dramatic. Second set of snooba swam the ship wreck. That would have been worth the money, not the first dive though.
Review by: gooze, December 2013
We had a lot of fun.
Review by: Rose A, November 2013
The snorkeling was great and most of the crew was great also. It rained and many of us got cold. They did not have any hot coffee which would have been appreciated.
Review by: Scott H, June 2013
They have a very nice boat. On our tour it was only about 1/3 full so there was plenty of space. There a three snorkeling spots where the boat stopped. They could have skipped the first one. The water was very rough and there were no fish. The food was Excellent and they were very liberal with the drinks at the bar. The staff was friendly enough but they did not go out of their way to help or entertain the guests.
Review by: Monte A, December 2012
The boat, crew, lunch, snorkeling were a fun and awesome tour! The tour information we received online after booking was incorrect. When we arrived at 8:15 to check-in we found out the boat would get underway at 8:30 (not 9:30). The transported us straight to the boat and we made it.
Review by: Daniel C, July 2012
Great time! no complaints here one of the best times on the isaland.. the captain and crew were super and the open bar made it for a great time! We had such a great time we returned for more over the weekend..
Review by: Bradley N, July 2012
This snorkel adventure was awesome! The took us to 3 different spots to snorkel around the coast of aruba. The best spot in my opinion is the shipwreck. Very colorful fish at ever spot. The lunch buffet was actually very tasty as well. The open bar is always a plus! Overall this was a great experience and I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Review by: Nicholas B, July 2011
The entire adventure was well worth the money. This was one of the best parts of our honeymoon and we believe that the tour is perfect for all types of tourists.
Review by: Annie H, United States of America, February 2010
An absolute blast! We had such an amazing time. There were at most 20 people, some were diving off the side of the boat, chatting with eachother, and the snorkel directors were amazing. It easily could have gotten boring after so many hours, but it was the best day of our week. Drink, relax in the sun, enjoy the snorkeling and fish. Hopefully, we will be back with you soon! Seriously, from recent college graduates, it's worth it, hands down.

Itinerary is great! Only negative is the number of people on each boat.
Review by: Erin A, August 2008
I really loved the trip. The gear was nice, and the weather was beautiful. I think that two of the stops could have been a little more exciting, like to a coral reef maybe, but other than that, the trip was fantastic.

The water is extremely clear, but there is a slight current in some areas. However, there is not much to see in terms of a variety of colorful fish or coral. The shipwreck was disappointing, not much to see and the area was too crowded with other snorkeling groups. It was like a boxing match!
