Perfect location, perfect guide,perfect tour, perfect proposal - Marcel and his mermaid Mika made our trip memorable and unique! A fantastic highlight of our trip! They were knowledgeable and made sure we saw all there was to see at our pace. The private tour was great, and they made sure to capture the moment I proposed (she said yes!) . Will definitely come see our friends again! These guys are great!

Great tour! Marcel was the best! - Absolutely perfect. Marcel was the best guide! Saw more fish in the first 10 minutes than any other snorkel anywhere. And lots of interactions with the turtles. If you’re reading this Marcel the “alien” fish is a white spotted filefish! Thanks for the great adventure !

Marcel is the best - Wow, what an absolutely incredible experience. Marcel was the best guide we could have asked for. Made sure all our equipment fit properly before going down to the water, made sure safety was the highest priority and made sure we were comfortable and happy. He has such great knowledge of the sea turtles and offered us so much information and most importantly got us up close and personal with about 8 sea turtles. He was also very helpful in suggesting places to eat and things to do. 10/10 you don’t want to miss this adventure. Can’t wait to see our video. Thanks Marcel!

Awesome Experience! - Marcel was a wonderful guide so pleasant, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient as it was my first time snorkeling. The meet up point was a great quick and easy entry into the ocean. So glad I went we were able to see at least 5 or 6 sea turtles they are just so precious and such peaceful creatures. We were able to get really close and got some great shots of them! This is a MUST DO if you’re in Aruba!

The Greatest Excursion I’ve Ever Done - Marcel was our guide and he did an absolutely fantastic job. I cannot stress enough that this was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to see these beautiful creatures up close in their natural habitat. I am a total animal lover at heart and this experience could not have been more special. I would give this experience 10 stars if I could. It was fun, educational, safe, exciting, and intimate. We did the 7am experience and we were the only people on the beach when we first started. If you want a life changing experience, I highly recommend you give this a try.

Beautiful Morning - This is the perfect way to start your day. Marcel is a great guide and videogeapher. We swam with Multiple turtles and saw an Eagle ray. He sent us an excellent vidoe of our experience the following day. Highly recommended.

Marcel deserves more than 5 stars! 🌊🐠 - We booked a private snorkeling trip with him yesterday and it was honestly the highlight of our vacation. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, and super professional. He made us feel comfortable right away, explained everything clearly, and took extra time to make sure we were confident with the gear and safety before getting in the water. In the ocean, he was an incredible guide – pointing out fish, reefs, and little details we would have completely missed on our own. He never rushed us, took us to beautiful, less-crowded spots, and checked on us the entire time to make sure we were okay and enjoying ourselves. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about giving a memorable experience, not just “another tour.” We came back with amazing memories, lots of laughs, and a new appreciation for the underwater world. If you’re thinking about booking a private snorkeling trip – do it with Marcel. You will feel safe, taken care of, and have an unforgettable time. Highly, highly recommend! 🌟

Best excursions in Aruba - We are a family of 4 vacationing and everyone agrees that this was the highlight of the trip. We all would highly recommend this experience for everyone. If this wasn't our last day I would have gone back for one more swim with the turtles. We saw over 15 turtles and one eagle ray.

Turtles 💕 - Absolutely loved snorkeling with Marcel at Tres Trapi Beach! 🐢💕 He’s incredibly friendly, patient, and made the whole experience an absolute joy. Swimming alongside the turtles was simply magical, and Marcel’s guidance made it safe and easy. I can’t recommend Marcel and EduPro EduGames highly enough, if you’re visiting Aruba, this is an experience you don’t want to miss! 🐠 💙🏝️ Tihana
