Amazing!

This adventure was totally AWESOME! The crew were fun and professional! The equipment was professional...no water coming into mask, no leaky mouth piece. I would definitely recommend this, with this crew/company, at any price!!! Wow! What an experience!

So fun!
Did the snorkeling catamaran excursion with these guys and they were awesome! Had a total blast with them. All you can drink bar, two snorkeling/floating pit stops. Second stop was much better than the first - calmer shallower clearer water. First stop we saw a shipwreck though. Highly recommend.

Great snorkeling experience!
They provide the drinks, the gear, and a lifevest if you need. The life vest is optional, and I would recommend that if you are a confident swimmer you go without it.

You can dive down right next to the shipwreck and corals if you can hold your breath! The drinks were good and the crew were really nice. They offered to take photos for us without us even asking! The wreck was much more interesting in my opinion, the coral reef was shallow and not as vibrant as in somewhere like Cozumel.

We went on the 2:30 tour, there were probably only about 10-15 people on the boat and not everyone went out to snorkel. They are vigilant to watch after you to make sure you don't get too far out of range, but make sure to always look back at the boat because they will whistle to you if you wander off too far. All of the crew members were very nice. There wasn't much instruction on how to snorkel, but they were available if you ask, I think. I am a former lifeguard and a certified diver so I didn't waste any time trying to learn how to do something I already know how to do. Overall a really good time, and they get you back before sundown, which is nice because then you don't get cold. I'm really happy we chose this!

This sailing and snorkeling tour is a great choice for a day activity. We sailed through the beautiful Caribbean waters with a great view of the island, stopped for snorkeling at two places, and the staff had a party going the whole time on the boat. Very enjoyable! George was our main staff person, great character and fun guide. The open bar had nice mixed drinks and everything seemed very clean from covid regulations. Also, our boat only had 8 people on board so plenty of room to distance and remain semi-private.

Nice afternoon Sail and Snorkel
Fun adventure with Robertson providing safety briefing and history of Aruba, WWII and the Antilla. Pleasant and capable crew. Some of the snorkeling equipment needs replacement with at least a couple flotation vests not holding air, and broken fins so check yours before entering the water. This is only a two-stop trip, and afternoons at Arashi Beach stop gets crowded.

Great experience!
My husband and I took the tour during our honeymoon. We were picked up in an open air bus on time (early actually) and taken to the peir where we boarded the boat within a few mintues. We were one of 7 couples. This allowed for more than enough room on the boat. We were greeted with champagne and fruit skewers. It took about an hour and a half to get to the west part of the island where we anchored to snorkel and eat lunch. The snorkeling was in a shallow area near a small island. There were lots of colorful fish and coral. You did have to be a strong swimmer to be able to snorkel, espeically the day we were with the rough waters. They provided a lifevest (that you had to wear), flippers, snorkel, and mask. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes or so, we ate a delicious lunch of fish, chicken, veggie, or beef kabobs with cold macroni salad, garden salad, potatoe pancake, and polena. All very good and we had more than enough food. After lunch, we were able to swim or hang on the boat before we made our way back to the dock. It was about an hour or so back to the dock. There were bathrooms on the boat. Overall, it was a wonderful day! Best excursion we took during our trip. The staff were so nice (Alex, Steven) and made our day so relaxing. Highly recommend!

Over crowded boat and weak rum punch.
We did not leave the dock on time so our trip was shorter than advertised.
Current is strong even near shore so if you are not a strong swimmer I don't advise going in the water. Most people only stayed in the water for a few minutes. Two big boats were anchored over the ship wreck and it was crowed in the water and people were bumping into each other. Worse than other trips we have taken. The Fury in Cozumel was far better.

Good trip just confirm arrival time with vendor
It was a good trip overall. Friendly and helpful crew. Decent snacks and drinks. Good snorkeling experience. Beware regarding start time. Our documents said to check in at 2. We arrived at 1:55 and the rep said they’re waiting for us as we’re late and they were all aboard and ready to go. I rechecked our docs and checkin time was in fact at 2. This might have gotten lost in translation with Trip Advisor.

Very nice experience
We had lots of fun on this cruise. We gathered between 08.30 and 09.00 at the peer near Holiday Inn Hotel. We had a few stops for swimming and snorkeling, we have seen very nice fishes and turtels.
The crew was really nice, funny and great entertainers (especially Robson 😂). The water is so clear, you cannot imagine what nice colors you can see in this trip.
We also had a small breakfast, free local drinks and lunch on the catamaran.
Everything was great 😊

Nice spots, short on ship wreck time.
This was an ok trip. The boat and crew were excellent. The stops are the two you want to do while in Aruba for snorkeling. The only problem was we had very little time in the water at the Antilla Ship Wreck. By the time I got in the water waiting for everyone else, I was lucky if I had 10 minutes to snorkel. More time at the wreck would have made this a perfect quick trip.
