Aruba Water Sports

Perfect for All Ages

Although white sandy beaches may be the first thing you think of when considering a vacation to the Caribbean, Aruba water sports are among the most popular attractions of the island. There are sports centers that cater to those who enjoy spending their time snorkeling and diving as well as big game fishing. These adventure sports are balanced with the opportunity to spend the afternoon paddling in a kayak or banana boat. Sailboats dot the shore, enabling vacationers to take a few hours to relax under the billowing sails on a cloudless day, basking in the warm Caribbean breezes.

There are many rental opportunities located in Palm Beach, one of the most popular vacation attractions on the island. Here you can arrange to participate in many of the most in demand Aruba water sports, such as jet skiing, speed boating, parasailing and scuba diving. There are courses and training sessions available for those who would like an introduction to these activities. Certification courses are available for scuba diving and sail school courses are popular for those who would like to try their hand at non-motorized boating. Diving and snorkeling tours can be arranged as well.

There are many experience levels to choose from. Whether you are a beginner, looking for a relaxed, easy dive or looking for an adventure, there are Aruba water sports opportunities available. For the beginner, there are tours of Malmok reef and the Antilla shipwreck. The water is calm and shallow, perfect for novices. Open water and drift-dives are available for the experienced adventurer. Cave dives and night dives are also available for a variety of experience levels. If you are not quite ready to take the plunge and go diving or snorkeling, consider a submarine cruise.

This allows you to experience the undersea environment in a state of the art submarine. Surrounded by windows, the air-conditioned observatory provides the perfect view as you go below the surface to view the Mi Dushi, one of the islands most interesting shipwrecks. Descending to 130 feet, the knowledgeable guide takes you to the best locations to see schools of exotic fish and the vibrantly colored coral reefs. Appropriate for all ages, this is a safe way to explore below the surface of the sea. No matter what your preference, from the adventures of diving and parasailing, to the relaxing experience of sailing and kayaking, there are Aruba water sports just right for you.
