Tour Details

Snorkel over a sunken tugboat and then reef snorkel at scenic and extraordinary sites of Curacao that you may not easily find on your own!

After being picked up at the pier, you will be transferred to your first snorkel location, where you will get your included snorkel gear. Begin the day by snorkeling a picturesque sunken tugboat in calm and protected waters. The fully intact 30-foot wreck sits upright in 20 feet of water; the wheelhouse is only five feet beneath the surface. After three decades below the waves, the skeletal hull is totally encrusted with coral and Christmas tree worms. The area is also teeming with tropical fish, all amenable to being photographed—and fed.

Your guide will drive you to a beautiful nearby bay with calm water and great snorkeling opportunities. A shallow terrace runs between 15 and 25 feet (4.5 and 7.5 meters) deep with healthy coral, diverse fish and even some well-camouflaged seahorses. After drying off and re-hydrating with complimentary juice and water, you will head toward an historic site: Fort Beekenburg, originally built to protect Caracasbaai from pirates and enemy nations. The trail offers a good view of Barbara Beach across the expansive harbor of Spanish Water. After the tour, you will be dropped off at your ship.
