Are you ready to enjoy the most epic snorkel spots?

What can you expect?

This is more than just a swim - it’s a guided encounter with one of the ocean’s most fascinating residents: the green sea turtle. On this small private group snorkel tour, you’ll explore some one of Aruba’s best snorkel spots away from the crowds for a peaceful and respectful connection with the marine environment.

Your experience is led by Captain Vito, an authentic Aruban local with over 25 years of experience as a former boat & sail captain. After a short safety briefing and gear fitting, you’ll snorkel from shore to reach quiet seagrass areas where green turtles graze, while your guide points out octopuses, rays, and colorful tropical fish.

After the snorkel, relax with refreshing & cold water, juice, or soda while enjoying the memories captured on video.

Where will this tour take you?

Tres Trapi: Meaning “Three Steps” in Papiamento, Tres Trapi are steps carved into the limestone rocks on Aruba’s northwestern coast. Located on the north side of the island, it’s famous for its calm waters, sandy seabed, and friendly sea turtles that often swim just a little distant from the shore. With clear visibility and easy access, it’s a favorite spot for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers to experience the magic of Aruba’s marine life. Come and soak up some of Aruba’s Vitamin Sea!

Easy access and plenty of parking. There are a lot of fishes near the rocks and I mean it. We were able to see two turtles and one small sea snake. Fishes are not afraid of swimmers. Many of them swim around me after I stopped moving. Water is crystal clear and the whole place is beautiful when the sun is not blocked by the clouds. Kids can easily stand in the shallow area. People come here and stay maybe one hour just to snorkel among the fishes. Bring a real waterproof case for your phone if you want take underwater photos. The waterproof pouches are really bad for taking underwater pictures.

We saw 4 turtles! Bring a snorkel mask!! You do have to swim out and snorkel to see them, they didn’t come into shore, but we didn’t have to swim far. Flippers aren’t necessary if you can swim. We swam just past the orange cone buoy, not too far, maybe 5 minute swim out. There is a huge rock platform with small steps to get down to the beach. We don’t have water shoes and we were fine, but it would be easier to have them. I put videos for reference!

Some beautiful fish and 3 turtles. Plus the pelicans diving into the water. We were there about 7:45am and it wasn’t too busy, but by 8:30am… well see the pictures. That said, everyone seemed to be seeing the turtles

A coral beach area, not much sand. The purpose for coming was to snorkel and see turtles. We arrived early at 830am and it was filling up quickly. We were able to see lots of fish and sea turtles so everyone was happy.

Beautiful water. Seen turtle! Such clear water. A little scarey getting in to water at first at stairs if the waves are intense but once you swim out it is calm and beautiful
