Travel tips

What to expect?

We board the catamaran at Mood Beach (Mambo Blvd) and set course for the most beautiful snorkel sites around Caracas Bay and the Spanish Waters.

Our first stop may be the famous Tugboat, a sunken tug covered in corals and sponges, surrounded by schools of tropical fish. Other possible spots include the Saba wreck, Doggy Beach, or the Caracas Bay pier. Exact locations vary by day depending on conditions, as our crew always selects the best and safest options.

After your first snorkel session, it’s time to relax. A fresh light lunch buffet is served on board while you enjoy views of the coastline, including the historic Fort Beekenburg, the impressive cliffs of Caracas Bay, and the striking Table Mountain.

We continue with a second snorkel stop, where you’ll again have the chance to see colorful fish, corals, and maybe even turtles or rays.

On the return trip, we cruise through the exclusive Spanish Waters lagoon, lined with yachts and waterfront villas. Relax on deck with a drink from the open bar and end your day in true island style.
