This is the beach for snorkelling we went there every day, the water is clear, and people that pay to go on a ship to go snorkelling are brought over there, therefore around 10;00 am there is many people in the water for approx 1 hr

There are good places for snorkeling there. Some on the very shore, some 10 meters (30 ft) away. Maximum depth is around 3 meters (10 ft). Clear waters. Nice.

Aruba has decent snorkeling but not the crystal clear waters of other Caribbean islands. Malmok is one of the clearest and it's easily accessible. Nice if you have a rental car. Good place to spend a couple of hours snorkelng along the reef and cliffs. There are some palapa spots, but generally taken by locals. Bring towels and rough it... More

We snorkeled this reef a couple of times during our weeks stay and each time was a different experience. Saw some of the biggest angel fish and parrot fish I have ever seen. Great Snorkeling!

we like snorkeling here and have noticed the corals are coming back! patience in the water rewards you with eels, squid, the usual reef fish and the occasional turtle.

The reef has a different view at thru the day, depending on the tide. The view can be quite spectacular in the afternoon.

At one point my wife and I were surrounded by schools of tropical fish small and large. One of the fish that was nearly touching me was a huge black Angel fish with yellow stripes. You will not be disappointed in this reef. It's a must in Aruba!

We try to visit this weekly. The view is nice and not only during the daytime. It is also nice to go in the evening and watch the sea and the ships pass by with their lights on.

Clean and a lot of fish to see. Not a lot of current and a good place for the beginners to try. Wear fins so you can stay up close to the rocks along the beach. You wave to walk to the south a little ways to get in safely. The rocks are slippery so be careful. This is a... More
