Itinerary

Just about 150 feet south of Boca Catalina is Malmok Beach. Although it is a small beach with plenty of stones when entering the water, it is considered one of Aruba’s best snorkeling spots. The area is typically quiet and uncrowded, and most of the time, we are the only ones there, giving you a more peaceful snorkeling experience.
