Itinerary

  • Palm Beach (Pass By)

    Palm Beach Your Aqua Donut Adventure starts in this area. The renowned two-mile-long strip known as Palm Beach Aruba is home to glamorous high-rise hotels in Aruba and dotted by water sports concessions, piers, beach bars, restaurants and shops. Calm waters make this a comfortable haven for swimmers, snorkelers and the Aqua Donut Boat. Sailing along the coast is perfect for relaxation during your Caribbean vacation. Enjoy the beautiful waters, underwater world or the sunset or enjoy delicious food and drinks on the Aqua Donut this can be the perfect end to a lazy or exciting day of sun and sea.

  • Malmok Beach (Pass By)

    Malmok Beach in Aruba is a narrow sandy stretch that interrupts the limestone and rocky terrace along Malmok’s coast . Its shallow clear Caribbean waters make it a popular snorkeling spot in Aruba. Here you can stop with the Aqua Donut boat for a snorkel stop near the shoreline. Reefs and sunken wrecks nearby afford excellent diving in Aruba. Malmok Beach is also the name of a residential area with sprawling homes and a variety of modest windsurfing residences in Aruba. The main road through the Malmok Beach area is leading to the famous California Lighthouse, Tierra del Sol 18-hole golf course, Arashi Beach and other Aruba landmarks and activities. During early morning and late afternoon hours the Malmok Beach road is a popular venue in Aruba for outdoor activities. Both locals and tourists hit the road biking and hiking for their daily workout. From the starting point without any stops, Malmok can be reached in 20 minutes.

  • Boca Cataavlina (Pass By)

    Boca Catalina on Aruba is a small, secluded bay in Malmok beach. The white sandy beach is accessible via stairs or of course with your own Aqua Donut Boat. A popular stop for snorkeling tours because of the variety of sea life located here, including palometas swimming near the shores, trunkfish and sergeant majors. When you venture a bit deeper into the sea you will see some big colorful fishes and corals, and don’t be surprised if you spot a turtle at Boca Catalina swimming in front of you. The crystal clear and calm water makes this the perfect location to make your private dive from your Aqua Donut Boat. Boca Catalina is a popular beach and attracts a fun mix of local families and tourists, especially during weekends. From the starting point without any stops, Boca Catalina can be reached in 30 minutes.

  • Arashi Beach (Pass By)

    Powder soft white sand, superb snorkeling in peaceful water and turtles! Do you need anything else? One of the northernmost beaches on the island. Most days the sea is very calm. The lagoon is safe to snorkel, not that deep. You will find colorful tropical fish like French Angelfish and Blue Striped Snappers. Also some hard corals, and plenty of soft corals, sea fans. The reef is the nicest on the right side of the beach, approx. 200 meters from shore. This area is recommended for advanced snorkelers. It could be difficult to navigate between the corals in the relatively shallow water, and swim back to the shore if there is any current. Turtles can be spotted on the left side of the bay, search for sea grass patches! From the starting point without any stops, Arashi can be reached in 45 minutes.

Donut boat ride Aruba 2025

Published on Apr, 2025

Jose was very patient as we didn't realize we would need help steering. He stayed on with us helped us on and off was kind, informative and fun. It was a beautiful day on the water highly recommend

Best Day in Aruba! - The Donut Experience!

Published on Mar, 2025

Best day we had in Aruba! My husband and I rented the boat with another couple that we traveled with. So only the four of us were on the boat and we didn't have to share our time with any other travelers, which I would highly recommend doing. At first we were concerned about being exposed to the sun for five hours while on the water, but learned we had nothing to worry about as the canvas cover offered enough shade to keep us protected while on the boat. The two who showed us how to maneuver the boat we kind and patient and kept their distance to not interfere with our experience but close enough to ensure our safety. We were guided to the best snorkeling places and given as much time as we wanted to enjoy everything until we were ready to move on. Not only did we enjoy the boat ride, we had time to lay back in our rafts and enjoy the sun, sights, of the beautiful scenery. We all rated this as the best adventure we had in Aruba. Because it was only the four of us, we were able to spend the entire five hours on the water doing exactly what we wanted to do, when we wanted to do it. We all highly recommend doing this to everyone!

Marina is an excellent representative for Octopus sailing charters

Published on Jan, 2025

Marina was wonderful. She made sure we were happy and her service was wonderful. The location is very convenient Marina extra service was appreciated

Great Excursion on the Water!!

Published on Sep, 2024

I rented the 10 person donut boat for the day with paid extra service for a driver and Jose and Alex are the BEST!! Jose took us to amazin snorkel locations and Alex went out diving with us and helped a few of us back to the boat when we started getting tired. I highly recommend this excursion, you can buy bottles of champagne or wine (probably beer too) for the ride and they had a great speaker for music. It was a beautiful 4 hour ride on the water! We even got to keep the lil wine glasses as souvenirs!

A Highlight!

Published on Aug, 2024

We had the best time with Captain Lex! He took us on a smooth boat ride, told entertaining stories, and found us exquisite places to snorkel. Since none of us were super experienced at snorkeling, he kindly gave us the do's and don'ts as well as helpful tips that made us feel like experts! It was a highlight of our trip! Thank you!
