3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles
A Great Boat Trip
A wonderful 3hr boat trip well managed by Bibi and Carl. Our family group covered a very wide age range and this trip exceeded our expectations. We were taken to some lovely snorkelling sites to enjoy seeing some of Aruba’s sea life. First time snorkelers were well supported and therefore felt safe in the water throughout. Equipment provided was good and the boat was very comfortable and well handled. We were made very welcome Bibi and Carl and highly recommend them.

5-h The ultimate private boat tour
Great day on the ocean
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!

Excellent experience
Captain Carl and Ms. Bibi were fantastic. Easy personalized booking, friendly staff, clean and well appointed boat. We opted for a day on the more southern side of the island with a snorkel through mangroves. It was very beautiful and unique. Great for my kiddos too. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind day on the water.

Strongly Recommended for a Memorable Experience!
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.

Great experience!
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.
