Aruba in a day! - Clivens was our guide. He did a great job, made sure we had fun. He was a wealth of knowledge about the island.
Trip is windy & a bit dusty. You see/visit the highlights of the island in 1 day.
Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - Very nice excursion to get to know the island and the main attractions. The tour which lasts 6/7 hours is highly recommended and “Baby Beach” is undoubtedly the best, with the possibility of snorkeling. Chris's guide was very good.

Wonderful experience. - Gigi was our driver and tour guide. He was fun, entertaining, and informative. He was also very helpful especially with giving us fresh water during the day. He took us to the caves in Arikok National Park and to Baby Beach where he supplied us with snorkeling gear. He gave us the thrill of our lives in exploring a lot of the island in the open air ATV truck. I highly recommended Gigi and De Palm tours for anyone looking to explore Aruba.

Great tour + great guide (Mac)! - Our guide Mac was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better person for this experience. He was funny, kind, informative, and full of energy 😊
The glass blowing stop was very neat and the lunch was tasty! Donkey sanctuary was too cute and baby beach was beautiful. We have a great time + it’s the perfect way to see the island.

Fun, informative, and worth the trip. - 1. The tour ran on time and safely.
2. Taking this tour was very fun and informative.
3. This trip included multiple stops, all of which kept my attention, and plenty of great facts along the way. 4. The stop a Baby Beach was amazing, went snorkeling, I saw plenty of tropical fish, even a green sea turtle!
5. Last and most importantly our tour guide, Ritchie Nava, local to the island of Aruba, was fantastic! Ritchie showed us lots of interesting things along the way, even stopping (at a safe distance) to show us a pair of Owl's nesting! Ritchie's attention to detail and professionalism was second to none. Informative, fun, and safe. Ritchie is one of the many that makes Aruba "One Happy Island."

Overall great experience. Wish they wouldn’t have cancelled on us the day before though - We really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide MAC was excellent and the stops were pleasant and enjoyable. Lunch provided was very good. My only complaint was that the day before, they canceled a trip on us with very short notice but we were eventually able to reschedule
Wish we could have spent more time at baby Beach! Personally, I could have skipped the donkey sanctuary, and would’ve preferred going to the hidden pool but we knew that was the deal going in. The snorkeling was fantastic at Baby beach especially for a novice! Loved the experience and certainly would recommend the tour.
