What To Expect
Following pickup at your Aruba hotel in the late afternoon, transfer to the luxurious 70-foot (20-meter) catamaran and set sail on the turquoise sea.
Grab a drink from the open bar, then find a spot on the sundeck or in the shade of the cabin. Watch the coastline of Aruba recede as the boat heads out towards the SS Antilla, a German freighter that ran aground during WWII.
When you reach the wreck, slip on the provided mask, snorkel and flippers and jump in. Follow your knowledgable guide around the ship as they point out the many varieties of coral and native tropical fish that have made the sunken freighter their home.
After enjoying Aruba's underwater seascape and the boat's open bar, head back to land for drop-off at your hotel.
Optional Upgrade: 'Snuba' allows you to breathe easily underwater, but doesn't limit you to floating on the top. Follow a certified Snuba guide to a depth of 20 feet (six meters) for a dive. No snorkeling or scuba certification is needed.
Please note: this tour cannot accommodate cruise ship passengers.

There are ALOT of catamarans to choose from. This boat is clean but the staff is NOT engaging or FUN to say the least. The lounge rope area is TOO painful to even walk or sit on!! most have like a soft trampoline mesh to sit on but this is like barbed wire!!
They say drinks and food- white boiled hotdogs or a hotdog roll with 1 piece of salami on it. While you are docked you will see other boats with music, ppl dancing, having FUN. Ours has old music blaring and the lamest crew just standing there. This group was god awful boring, didnt talk to you other then belt instructions upon boarding. Then crickets standing there. If you are boring take this particular catamaran, if you want to have a blast book one that u see at the beach, where you hear laughter and see ppl dancing and having fun!!

Once in a lifetime Snuba
Andreia_T
, Dec 2021
This excursion was a great experience! My husband and I upgraded to Snuba and although I was nervous- I’m so glad I did! It was a great experience and the guide- Jervan I believe was his name- simplified things and really taught you how to manage being under the water. Listen to his tips and you’ll be walking on the ocean bottom! He took pictures on his go pro and gave us memories for a lifetime. The boat crew was fun, they poured good drinks, and knew how to party. Only reason I gave it a 4 star was that Jervan could only take 4 people down with the Snuba gear per stop so we missed out on the shipwreck and only got to see the Catalina bay.

Happy Hour and Snuba was AWESOME
Vincent_S
, Jan 2021
The Palm Pleasure SNUBA and happy hour was the best experience we had while in Aruba. The guide makes the trip so upbeat and fun while getting everyone drinks. The SNUBA instructor was super patient with us and understanding of the various comfort levels to make it simple and well worth the upgrade. Don’t pass up the SNUBA upgrade.

No Snuba for us in Aruba
Cynthia_H
, Mar 2020
here's the deal. We paid for snuba. filled out a form at the concierge at our hotel. on the form, we checked that we had high b.p., even though we both take meds for it, so it's controlled. told by the concierge that we were fine. Got to the boat with our friends, to snuba together. Person at the boat would not let us snuba. Said we could only go if we had a note from our physician. Seriously? As we were getting on the boat? Embarrassing, disappointing, unnecessary. Better communication, of correct information, is recommended.

Great Outing and Snuba
Char_M
, Mar 2019
We had a great time on this Afternoon Delight Snorkel. We added the Snuba which was a bucket list thing for me. So glad we did. The guide was a good teacher and it was great. We saw many fish and he brought food for the fish to attract them. The catamaran is huge and was a fun cruise as well. The ship wreck was fun to see, but it was very windy there so we did not stay in the water long.
The tour itself was very nice....no...
Mekesha_C
, Jul 2018
The tour itself was very nice....no complaints. The boat was clean, the crew was nice and festive and the spot we went to Snorkel was teaming with fish. The only reason for not giving this tour a five star rating is due to the instructions or rather lack thereof in the Viator vouchers and the EXTREMELY RUDE AND BELLIGERENT treatment we received from their representative at the Renaissance hotel. The vouchers that we received did not explain that you must make a reservation for your trip in advance. Although you select, book and pay for a specific trip date this DOES NOT secure your trip for that date. On the morning of our trip I called the number on the voucher because I had not had any communication confirming our transportation details. I was advised that we did not have a reservation for our group and that we would have to speak to the agent at the hotel. When we arrived we waited in line behind one couple who was purchasing their trip onsite. After waiting approximately 30 minutes through the sales pitch and another five minutes of being ignored after she was done with the couple I asked if she would be the right person to speak to. I was belittled for not knowing what I was supposed to do and told that the instructions were clear on the voucher. I had the printed vouchers in hand and pointed out that at no time was it expressed that we had to see an onsite reservation agent or complete a separate confirmation/reservation for transportation in order to take the snorkel cruise. After 30 more minutes of arguments the agent conceded that we could go on the snorkel cruise if we could get our group to the boat before sailing time AT OUR OWN COST, even though transportation was included in the fee we paid because we didn't follow directions and book in advance. We paid taxis which are extremely reluctant to transport a group of six even in a van with enough seats at a premium cost to get us to the boat. Once on the boat no complaints.....but buyer beware.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
