Aruba: Water Experiences for Every Tourist

Located outside the hurricane belt and boasting 360 days of sunshine a year, Aruba is an ideal destination for enjoying a multitude of attractions. Its warm, crystal-clear Caribbean waters, combined with refreshing trade winds, create the perfect setting for unforgettable water experiences. De Palm Tours is one of the region's leading tour operators, offering a wide range of services and offerings for visitors. Among these, a carefully curated selection of water activities stands out, designed to take full advantage of the island's unique conditions. Below, a review of two of its main water activities.

De Palm Pleasure Snorkel Tour
Recognized as one of the best sailing and snorkeling adventures in the destination, this 4-hour excursion is designed for all ages and offers the unique opportunity to explore Aruba's most impressive waters. Aboard a spacious 70-foot-long and 40-foot-wide catamaran, De Palm Tours offers two daily departures with distinct offerings. The first, at 9:00 a.m., includes stops at the Antilla shipwreck, Boca Catalina, and Arashi Reef, while the second, at 2:00 p.m., includes snorkeling at two popular sites. The morning tour includes lunch, and the afternoon tour includes snacks. Both include an open bar, including the traditional Aruba Ariba cocktail.

The onboard team provides clean snorkeling equipment and ensures that each visitor feels comfortable and safe during the activity. Underwater, participants can observe tropical fish, colorful coral reefs, and the remains of the SS Antilla, known as Aruba's ghost ship. This cargo ship, built for trade between the Caribbean and Germany, sank in 1940 during World War II when German troops invaded the Netherlands.

Palm Pleasure Sunset 
Departing at 5:30 p.m., this experience allows you to contemplate one of Aruba's most spectacular sunsets. The tour combines the beauty of the coast with the comfort and style of a sunset cruise. During approximately two hours of sailing, passengers enjoy tropical bites and open-bar drinks while the landscape transforms. The timing is perfect for appreciating the different hues the sky takes before sunset, until reaching its climax, when it turns vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple. The romantic and relaxed atmosphere makes the cruise the ideal end to a day in the Caribbean. As night falls, the boat returns to port, leaving visitors with an indelible image of the island.
