Whale Watching by Catamaran: 15 Trips Around the World

51 tours  ·  from $21 a head

A catamaran is the quiet, level platform for this, and the good operators drift rather than chase. The 15 here carry prices, season windows and honest sighting records.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,291 reviews · from $69

Review of Aruba’s Dolphin Catamaran snorkel cruise, with Antilla wreck, Boca Catalina, lunch, open bar, slide, and rope swing.

“Best snorkeling/catamaran experience we’ve ever been on—and we’ve been on a lot. The vibe was low key and family friendly. Could have had maybe a tad more time at the shipwreck site (that’s where we saw a turtle), but the generous snorkeling time at the next site made up for it. We saw some corals doing a-okay and some unique reef fish. Ending the adventure with the rope swing was awesome! Highly recommend!”
