Fun tour, Great Crew, Amazing activity in Aruba! - The crew was amazing! We even missed the tour because our cruise ship set our time wrong by an hour. The office arranged for us to be dropped by a speed boat so we could make our group. Amazing service!

Fantastic Catemaran experience - Fantastic crew and therefore nice atmosphere on board. Snorkeling and turtles seen at the wreck and at tres tapi. Sailing back along the coast towards nightfall was also beautiful.

Best Catamaran on the island! - Phenomenal catamaran trip! Clean boat, courteous and friendly crew. Food was good sandwiches and hot dogs, drinks were awesome! As for the Karen that wrote a review about music being explicit, there was no music like that being played all good vibes and dance music! I have been to the jolly roger and this catamaran ride was so much fun and better! I have two teenagers, 2 adult children and they loved it! Plus compared to the jolly roger it was not crowded, so plenty of space to sit without being on top of each other. Next time my family and I are in Aruba we will definitely come book this catamaran!

Great Experience Snorkeling - The experience was great. We snorkeled in 2 locations. We saw loads of fish and a few sea turtles. The catamaran was very nice. The team on the boat was fun, but safe. Snorkel gear was very nice also.

Fantastic boat and snorkel trip - Great snorkeling trip along the west coast of Aruba. Fun crew and comfortable boat. Snorkeling was good at both stops, but the ship wreck stop was amazing. Great variety of fish and just very cool to snorkel above the wreck. Saw sea turtles up close at both stops. Tasty snacks and good drinks. Only complaint was that the crew collected snorkeling gear from the inside of the boat at the 2nd stop while people were on deck. So 1 person from my group didn't get to go snorkeling at the wreck as she had no mask or snorkel. Crew should wait until the boat is under way back to port to collect gear. Other than, that it was a fantastic excursion and highly recommend it.

Swimming with the Turtles - The best excursion experience for the money in Aruba. Our trip was about three hours long and was great from the moment we set foot on the catamaran. The crew has an amazing DJ and an open bar. It was a short sail to the reef, shipwreck. Both spots did not disappoint. We saw snappers, groupers, angelfish and turtles. Make sure you bring a waterproof case for your phone so you can capture all the amazing creatures.

The shipwreck was... - The shipwreck was amazing. The turtles were very active and appeared to want to swim with me. One thing, don’t raise the ladder until you know everyone is accounted for. Very few people went snorkeling in the second stop so be careful. Thankfully I got in

Snorkeling was fun, but not family friendly experience - The crew was good. They took us to good spots to snorkel in. They were friendly and nice. We were served lunch, hot dogs & sandwiches, and fruit skewers. My family said it the hot dogs and sandwiches were good. I have a gluten allergy so I just had fruit. The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the music. We were not the only families on the trip and they were blasting very inappropriate music full of curse words and sexual innuendos. They certainly could have chosen to play clean versions of the same songs but did not. I was very disappointed that it was not family friendly. I just want other parents to be informed before booking a tour.
