Best Snorkel Trip Ever!! - Terrific one on one experience! Picked us up from our resort, had great equipment & expertise. We saw turtles and every kind of fish you can imagine. I’ve snorkeled many places but have never seen this many fish & the diversity. Loved just walking in right off the shore. Our guide was excellent! Provided us with water, oranges & even a warm shower rinse at the end.

Unforgettable experience! - My husband and I went on the private snorkel with Rob. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Rob did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and calm in the water since it was our first time ever snorkeling. We saw many sea turtles and Rob even took some awesome underwater pictures for us! I would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Aruba!

Eco Friendly, Personal, and Truly Memorable - My husband and I booked this private snorkel tour with Fins & Feet Nature Tours to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was truly the highlight of our trip to Aruba. From start to finish, everything about this experience felt personal, thoughtful, and completely unforgettable.
Our guide, Rob, was outstanding! He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making us feel safe in the water while also sharing his passion for Aruba’s marine life and natural beauty. He took the time to explain the unique ecosystem at each of our snorkel stops and pointed out species we would have easily overlooked without his guidance. His knowledge and genuine love for the island really made the experience special.
The fact that this tour is eco friendly was very important to us, and we appreciated the little touches that showed their commitment to sustainability. It felt good knowing we were enjoying Aruba’s incredible reefs responsibly.
Because it was private, the pace was relaxed and tailored exactly to us. We never felt rushed, and Rob made sure we were comfortable and having fun the entire time. It was just the two of us, the sea, and the reefs, an intimate way to mark such a meaningful milestone in our lives.
We left with beautiful memories, a deeper appreciation for the island’s underwater world, and a sense of gratitude for Rob’s care and expertise. If you’re looking for something special, personal, and eco conscious in Aruba, this tour is an absolute must. It is well worth it!

First class tour! - Two teenage girls with their parents went snorkeling with Rob, and returned from the experience beaming from ear to ear! As all other reviewers have mentioned, Rob is punctual, polite, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the wonders he can show you… our entire family was delighted with the experience, and we hope to return to Aruba and book the same tour again. The fruit was perfect for washing out the salt in our mouths, his equipment was clean and perfect, and those warm bottles of freshwater to rinse off at the end were an unexpected bonus. Many thanks also for sharing excellent photos of everything we saw along the reef!

Great time!! - Rob was super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and he had a great sense of humor that kept the mood fun and relaxed. You could tell he really cared about making sure everyone had a good time and felt safe.
The snorkeling itself was absolutely beautiful—we saw tons of colorful fish, vibrant coral, and even a few surprises (no spoilers!). The water was clear and calm, and the whole vibe was just easygoing and enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free way to explore the ocean and learn a thing or two while you’re at it, definitely book with Fins and Feet—and ask for Rob. He made the day feel like a little adventure with a friend who happens to know a lot about the sea.
Highly recommend

Personalized experience of a lifetime! - Highly recommend Fins & Feet Nature Tours! My husband and I did a private tour with Rob. He was amazing!!! We let Rob know we had a PREVIOUS bad experience snorkeling in a group tour. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to Tres Trapi to see turtles and then to Boca Catalina to see fish (bonus we saw a hawks-bill turtle there). Rob went out our pace, pointed out interesting things to us, and consistently checked that we were Ok. Rob was amazing!!! After each dive he had orange slices for us. When we were finally finished, he had jugs of warm fresh water to rinse with. The best part, we have pictures he took for us as were were snorkeling to capture the memories. I really can’t express how thankful we are that we went with Rob. I will definitely book with him again!!

Highly recommend! - We had an amazing time on this tour! Rob was a perfect guide and it was so great to just have the four of us with him versus a big group snorkel tour. He taught my 9 year old daughter how to dive down and helped us spot a bunch of awesome stuff! Highly recommend. Super communicative and easy! I booked directly with fins&feet through their website.

Worth it! - So good! This was the highlight of my brief mother/daughter trip with my 15 y/o. Rob was excellent. Very polite, respectful, informative, kind, patient, non-judgmental and understanding. He gave very clear instructions, answered all questions with not a hint of condescension for us complete beginners. Definitely worthwhile for beginners - the price is very fair. As advertised, Rob picked us up at our hotel, brought us to the first spot and fitted us with the fins and snorkel and explained what to expect next. Next we were ready to go in the water. Rob gave me a steady hand as I went down the rocky steps into the water and we started getting used to the gear and what to do and practiced. We stayed there a bit and then it was time to go to the second spot where we could go further and see more. We saw a turtle feeding and coming up for air, lots of interesting fish, sponge anemone, sea cucumber, eel, crab. Rob’s hand signals were clear and he would point out things to look at and we’d pop up sometimes and he would explain what we’d seen. We had the option to take a break if needed (we didn’t). He took pictures of the fish and plants we saw and he asked us if we wanted pictures of us (of course we said yes!) and shared them with us immediately. As promised, he provided us with fresh cut oranges which were refreshing and he said they would be helpful to get rid of the salty water taste in our mouths. At the end he had clean water that he left to warm on the top of the car in the sun so it made for a nice “shower” to clean off a bit after our snorkeling was over. It was a fantastic experience. I thought I would be nervous with learning how to breath and not swallowing water and moving around but with Rob’s clear instructions I quickly caught on and it was enjoyable and easy! My daughter felt the same. I thought this would be a once in a lifetime experience but it was so great I might look for other opportunities to go snorkeling again! One note for anyone who may be considering this tour and reading this review: we didn’t get the free reef safe sunscreen or drinking water. We didn’t ask about the sunscreen because we had actually purchased some and applied it earlier. Plus it’s possible that Rob didn’t think of it for us because we were wearing rash guards. And we didn’t need drinking water because the oranges did the trick. I’m mentioning it not as a complaint but just so that if you go and he doesn’t mention the sunscreen make sure to ask. And if it’s important to you to have drinking water you can certainly bring some along and leave it in the car while you snorkel. Overall it was really fantastic and surpassed our expectations. A very worthwhile use of time and money!!

Turtle Snorkeling at Tres Trapi - Absolutely amazing snorkeling experience with Rob! From the moment we got started, Rob was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to help our daughters feel comfortable in the water, and his calm, friendly approach made the whole trip enjoyable for the entire family.
We saw so many turtles—it was an unforgettable sight! Rob knew exactly where to go and pointed out various sea creatures along the way, explaining the marine life and even sharing interesting facts about Aruba itself. His passion for the ocean really shined through.
And let’s not forget one of the unexpected highlights: the hot shower at the end of the tour! After a salty swim, it was the perfect way to wrap up the adventure.
Highly recommend this experience with Rob—he made it safe, fun, and memorable!
