Best sea turtle sighting’s 💕 - This was my second time doing this type of excursion. We brought my kids and grandkids this time and everyone said they would definitely would want to do this again. The last time I did this, we were on a bigger boat with a lot more people but my family and I agreed it was much nicer with a smaller group. The crew were super friendly and informative. We saw a wide variety of fish, coral and my absolute favorite was the sea turtles. We went for the earlier tour and the crew said the turtles are most active that time of day, which made my day. We saw numerous turtles - some of which actually came close to us and we got some awesome footage of them swimming to the surface. Would definitely use this company next time we come back.

They provide all the gear you will need, as well as lunch, open bar, and great music! This was collectively our favorite part of our trip to Aruba!

Our captain was almost an... - Our captain was almost an hour late with no apology. Hopefully this wasnt a common occurrence. The young guy was very nice and embarrassed and did his best while we all waited. We didn't get to see any turtles which was disappointing. Going to the reef and shipwreck was amazing.The food was really good to.

A lot of wait time initially, but great overall experience. - The captain and first mate are great. Gave good information at the different sites. Food was delicious. From flying fish to flamingos to turtles to cool tropical fish/coral/worms, our kids couldn't figure out what their favorite part was. All equipment was provided, although there were no paddle boards (even though they were specifically advertised). It was so windy, they wouldn't have been practical. The booking said to arrive 15-30 minutes. However the 9am arrival WAS a half hour before leaving. Don't arrive at the meeting location too early,b ESPECIALLY if you have kids. We went with a 10 and 8yo. The wait was pretty hot for the younger one. But everything else was amazing for all ages!

Beautiful boat ride. - A beautiful, relaxing way to see the island from the ocean. They took us to 3 sites where we saw some turtles, a sunken ship and a coral reef with many colourful fish. I deducted a star because we found the music unbearably loud. There were only 4 of us on board, all elderly, and despite asking repeatedly that the volume of the music be decreased, to our annoyance, it was not. Unfortunately that, and the fact that they did not put the sails up, are the only disappointments . The lunch was excellent.

Slow Start, Great Finish - The captain arrived 40 minutes late without a comment. Once we got past that oddity the trip was excellent. The first mate did a wonderful job making drinks, lunch, and preparing our group for snorkling. We stopped at the SS Antilla, a German 400-foot freighter intentionally scuttled in 1940 during World War II, now lying just off Malmok Beach. Then to Boca Catalina and Tres Trapi for snorkling with a sea turtle and a solid amount of tropical fish.

Disorganized but still nice - Just as we were about to climb in our taxi, we got a message that our morning sail was postponed for a boat inspection and that we were moved to the evening sail. We had nothing else firm planned so we flexed. They then offered to pick us up and drop us back at the hotel for $10/pp which was better than a taxi.
We were clearly late as we got picked up at the hotel after the scheduled boat departure time. The driver was hustling but that was not our only wild ride this trip. (Most bus and taxi drivers were fine). Seconds after my family and another couple stepped on board, the boat pulled out from dock. No safety instructions and we had to worm our way to find seats.
On the plus side the guides knew exactly where to find the shipwreck and wildlife on the three snorkel spots. I was very glad we brought our own snorkel masks and flippers and had a clue what to do from a previous trip since very limited instructions were given. No rope or guide in the water as with other trips, but thankfully they did do a headcount before leaving each spot.
The members of my family who got the meal they ordered enjoyed the ribs and plantain. There were some headcount issues that showed up in meals, utensils and napkins. It was really disappointing to be overlooked because we didn’t get seats by the cabin. Others had prime seats and got plenty of drinks. I didn’t want to be pushy and ask for too much as the crew already seemed extended.
The views, boat experience, snorkeling (including up close sea turtle) and restaurant tip from our driver almost made up for the negatives. If you want things to go super smoothly, maybe look for another tour operator.

Not family friendly! - We chose this excursion specifically because it was advertised as family-friendly, and given the cost, we expected it to deliver on that promise. Unfortunately, it did not.
One of the reasons we selected this option was the mention of stand-up paddleboards, but none were available. More concerning, there were only three children’s life jackets and a single snorkeling mask provided. We had included our children’s ages בעת booking, so we expected that all of them would be able to snorkel at the same time—this was not possible.
The crew was friendly and did what they could, but the lack of basic equipment and the gap between what was advertised and what was actually provided made this a very disappointing experience, especially given the price.
