Nice Aruba experience!
Renee_S

The boat was nice and crew was friendly. The only reason I did not give a five star review was because when It was time to snorkel there wasn’t enough snorkel gear. The captain did say I’d have gear when someone else was finished snorkeling. I just couldn’t understand how we booked a snorkeling trip and there wasn’t enough equipment for everyone accounted for on the boat. The captain was nice enough to radio headquarters on the beach who then promptly brought more snorkeling equipment for the reminder of the guests. He was prompt in correcting the situation. We did thoroughly enjoy ourselves.
Wonderful way to spend an afternoon

We had the best afternoon with our daughters aged 15 and 12. One is a daredevil (15) and the other was apprehensive! But the captain and crew made us all very comfortable and safe. The appetizers and cocktails --virgin ones for the kids-- were delicious and light and perfect for pre-snorkelingand light. Snorkeling at the Antilla shipwreck was fascinating and then another stop at a more quiet and gentle area with tons of fish and creatir e to see. A great sandwich and more drinks next, along with a cruise back with fun music and conversation with the local crew. A wonderful and worthwhile three hours!
Super Fun!!

This was the HIGHLIGHT of my husband and I’d vacation. This cruise was extremely luxurious and relaxing. It was a perfect amount of time on the boat and the crew was very attentive. I’d recommend this to young couples visiting Aruba since it has a romantic vibe. Cannot wait to visit Aruba again to book this tour. Our crew lady was mainly Priscilla and she was soooo sweet and understanding. ❤️ The captain was hardcore and Knowledgeable about the areas we visited which kept me feeling safe and secure. Lunch was AMAZING & they passed around great snacks!
So fun!

Ok snorkel trip

Stopped at 2 snorkel spots. First one, by the shipwreck was super crowed as 2 other sailboats were there for the same experience and we were all instructed to stay on the same area … hard to enjoy or see anything. 2d spot was a lot nicer and was able to enjoy the experience more. But the 2d location could easily be accessed from the beach. Was expecting better locations for snorkeling. Food and drinks during the sail were good and the crew was nice. Music was a flashback to the 70s. Guess there are some folks who would enjoy that. Overall a solid so so.
Good value for money!

Beautiful boat! The nicest catamaran I’ve been on for a snorkeling cruise! Comfortable seats and sunshades keep you from frying. Lovely crew. Nice snacks. Sadly not much to see below the water compared to other places in the Caribbean, coral is bleached and just a handful of fish varieties but the water is lovely and the crew is very safety conscious. If you wear glasses, either put in contacts or bring your own snorkeling mask! Great time! Good value for money spent!
We really enjoyed seeing...

The trip was very nice, crew was super friendly and helpful. They were always prepared with drinks, snacks and generally ready to ensure everyone is having a great time in this trip. I definitely recommend this trip.
One tip of improvement: unfortunately the weather was not good enough to see anything (the ship wreck) at the second snorkeling spot due to the winds. In those cases, I think it would be nice if we could have stayed longer at the first spot where we saw beautiful fish or go to some other place instead where the winds are not so strong.

This was a great afternoon trip out on the water. The Captain and crew were great people. The food was pretty good, and the drinks kept flowing! The snorkeling was really cool too.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
