5-h The ultimate private boat tour
My family of 4 had a wonderful time on our trip. Captains Carl & Bibi were great, very personable, and were able to answer all our questions about life on the island. Communication before was great. Since it was a private trip, we were able to tailor our trip to exactly what we wanted. The lazy river through the mangroves was unique and one of the coolest things we did the whole trip. We got lucky and were even able to see a plane approach the airport from the water, it went right over our heads! Such a cool experience and I highly recommend!

3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles
We spent a great day with Captain Carl. He planned out a trip that included visiting a remote lazy river amongst mangroves, snorkeling to view sea turtles, and timed it so that we could come back in with the sunset. He was accommodating, safe, and just fun to talk with. A great private tour for our group of 5 that will be remembered as a highlight of our trip.

3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles
We enjoyed our excursion with Captain Bibi and Captain Carl. They were absolutely wonderful! We were able to see many species of fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. We would highly recommend booking an excursion with them, and we look forward to another excursion with them when we return to Aruba.

3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles
Took a 3-hour trip with our family of 5. Captain Bibi and Carl were great hosts; they made sure everyone in our family had fun! Snorkeled two sites. Saw tons of fish, turtles, and the wreck. Fished as we returned to port, and let our boys each catch a fish! Highlight of the trip!
