Optional Morning Run/Walk - Afternoon Snorkel

Sleep in or head out for an informal group run/walk in the morning. In the afternoon, we'll head out for a "3-hour" Snorkeling Tour. We've chartered our own Schooner for this snorkeling tour, the perfect way to appreciate Aruba’s underwater environment, and the island’s pristine ocean and gain a sense of discovery.

We'll explore the azure Caribbean waters at two locations, view colorful sea critters, starfish, and fauna and explore a WWII shipwreck brimming with history. Along the way, enjoy a cold beverage or two, and relax on the sundeck to take in the sites or an afternoon siesta. Snorkel gear, drinks included.

About your organizer

We run, walk, hike, and explore the world actively! We believe that the soul of the explorer is inside each of us. And, we believe, that the best way to explore a region, a country, a city, or a culture is from the ground level, and on your own two feet. A rugged landscape, a rainforest trail, or a city street are all paths to discovery. Marathon Expeditions trips bring the world to you, and you to the world. And in the end, you will be making like-minded active friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
