Transportation to Aruba snorkel, Malmok/Boca Catalina

Will be visiting Aruba in early May via cruise ship and want to get to the Malmok and Boca Catalina beaches for snorkeling. Looking at bus and taxi to get there. Does anyone have experience doing this and if so, can you please share your experience?

Thanks

Steve

Steve - see my comments further down in this section under "Snorkeling and excursions" about the bus to Malmok area. It is a great option, we will be doing it again in a couple weeks. It is the #10 or 10A bus and be sure to buy two tickets for each person as I think they have discontinued the all day bus pass. Also be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get back to the ship because even though the buses run in a circular route all day and their web site says one should come by every 15 minutes (which can be flagged down), you may have to wait a half hour or more for one to come by. Have fun!

Thanks Gene/Kathy. That is probably what we will be doing, taking the bus. Appreciate the insight of purchasing the two tix/person at the beginning. Not worried about missing the ship since we don't get in until 1pm and leave at 10 or 11pm. It will be dark MUCH before that :)
