    Great experience!

    3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles • 4 adults • 2 children

    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.

    Fantastic day on the boat! Snorkel and fishing

    3 Hour – Spot&Snorkel With Turtles • 5 adults • 3 children

    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!

    Response from Captain
