Great snorkeling! - Two beautiful snorkeling locations! Lots of fish to see and both areas are about knee deep. There are a couple of restaurants at Baby Beach also.

For someone who has never... - For someone who has never snorkeled before but wants to try it, this is the perfect excursion. Got to see lots of colorful fish without venturing in deep water. The tour covers a lot of different places and Baby Beach was amazing. Our tour guide Danny was awesome too!

Great opportunity to see the other side - The trip was definitely worth doing. Driver was wonderful and we had a great time on the bus. We got to see a different part of Aruba while driving and there were interesting sites. I was a little disappointed in Baby Beach. While very nice, it was touristy and not secluded like Mangel Halto. Beware if you need to use the bathroom, you need a ticket or you have to pay. But my opinion is not the tours fault. It was a very nice tour.

Paradise Places - A lovely place in every way. The day we had was not the best, but almost better because 2 hours of full sun would have been too much for already one of the last days on the island. The "snorkeling" in three words, IS-SPECTA-CULAR! A variety of fish of all colors, sizes and some huge, truly a unique experience. Peter from EL TOURS excellent as a guide and very attentive to anything we needed. Super recommended the walk wherever you look!

EL Tours for Snorkeling Lovers - Danny from EL Tours was so wonderful. El Tours bus included picked up and dropped off at our hotel. One group on our tour were even picked up from an airbnb. This tour was fantastic as it included transportation to 2 beaches which are not on the public bus route as well as a drive through San Nicolas to see the beautiful murals. If we had gone by taxi this would have been really expensive & felt safer traveling with a tour. Baby Beach is just beautiful sheltered lagoon to snorkel. We had brought our own snorkel and masks. But El Tours had them also available to use. They did not have fins which may have been helpful on this particular trip the water was rough. There is Big Mama's Grill on Baby Beach to buy some food and restrooms that are free to use unless you buy food or a drink. There is plenty of free parking and it is best to go early in the morning before the crowds arrive. The shallow beach area is a nice spot for families with small children to enjoy. Make sure you bring water shoes with good traction if you would like to snorkel to the left in the small river as it is rocky there but offers a beautiful view for good swimmers as the coral is beautiful with lovely large fish to see. Do not swim outside of opening of the horseshoe shaped barrier as the current is very dangerous past the horseshoe area. Bring reef safe sunscreen and sun protection as the sun is very strong. El Tours provides drinking water and we brought our own water bottles that we could refill and our own snacks. We also brought waterproof containers to use swimming to store small dog biscuits to feed the fish. We had bought these ahead at the grocery store called Super Food near our hotel. Other people used pieces of bread or crackers, or even peas to bring feed the fish. We saw a wide variety of fish such as clown fish, angelfish, squid, parrot fish, trumpet fish. barracudas and at Mangel Halto we even saw a small octopus and turtles. We highly recommend El Tours to use as a previous tour with De Palm Tours of baby beach and caves offered rushed, limited time at Baby Beach for disappointed snorkeling lovers.

Could be better... - The bus was very poorly conservative, making a lot of noise... the driver was super friendly and the 2 seats are very beautiful... I found very expensive the rent of the chairs, U$30, and the tent U$80, in Baby beach, maybe vcs could have chairs for clients...

Great Beach Hopping Experience! - A great tour for those who do not have their own transportation. Our guide was great and it was a fun day! Didn’t see much in terms of fish when snorkeling at our first stop at Mango Halto, but it was a nice swimming area. Baby Beach snorkeling was awesome! SO many fish and such variety, all sizes and colors, it was wonderful! And just swimming/floating around at Baby Beach was lovely. Wish we had more time there. My only complaint was the snorkel gear was only so so - my mask kept fogging and the lenses weren’t very clear and they didn’t have any fins for us to use. Eventually I just switched to my personal swimming goggles since I was sick of constantly having to rinse my mask to see before it fogged again and just swam around to look at the fish since the reef is right by the shore. Basically you are paying for transportation to and from these stops, which was worth it to me since I didn’t want to rent a car and navigate the island by myself. Overall a great day! Would recommend!

Snorkel Mask broke and guide did not have anymore - Was really looking forward to snorkeling, We both had snuggling masks at our first stop. When starting to put one of the masks fell apart in our hands and broke. When I asked for a new one, the driver said that he had to pick up two extra people so he didn’t have any more masks. ☹️. We ended up sharing a mask, but since I paid for two people would’ve liked to have been able to go together.

Good if you need a ride to the beach - Guide was super nice. Snorkeling equipment less than adequate. No flippers, no life jackets. Basically a shuttle service to these beaches. If you have your own transportation it’s better to rent snorkeling equipment and drive.
