What To Expect
Join us on an unforgettable snorkeling adventure at Mangel Halto beach and the Reef Island. One of Aruba's best kept secrets! Dive into crystal-clear blue waters and explore an underwater world teeming with vibrant marine life.
Cruise along Aruba's stunning south coast on a comfortable pontoon boat, specially chosen because it's the only way to dock at Reef Island, a secluded, untouched paradise surrounded by mangroves. Unlike larger, more luxurious yachts that can't access this hidden gem, our tour gives you the rare chance to step onto the island.
Luxury isn't just about the boat, it's about the experience!
This secluded local gem where locals like to hang, you can snorkel, paddleboard or just RELAX among the mangroves. Here you'll not only enjoy the stunning scenery but also learn why these unique eco-systems are vital to our environment.
On this 3 hour activity, you'll enjoy refreshing soft drinks and a local snack box throughout the experience. As a special treat, you'll receive one bottle of our local famous Aruba Ariba cocktail-a true island favorite!
You're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks to make the experience even more enjoyable!

Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use.

May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!

Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
