Sea Turtle Snorkelling

Swimming with sea turtles at Boca Catalina — hawksbill and green turtles feed on seagrass here every morning. Free if you bring your own gear. A private snorkel charter to this spot and Arashi is $80–120/person and almost guarantees turtle encounters.

Practical tips for 2026: Book tours and activities at least 24-48 hours in advance. Hotel rates are lowest in May through early December. Direct flights from the US East Coast typically run 3.5-4.5 hours. The island uses the US dollar — no currency exchange needed for American travellers. Aruba has no sales tax on most tourist services. For the best Aruba experience, combine beach time with at least one boat tour and one land-based excursion.
