Captain Carl and his amazing co captain wife Bimi are simply the best! Salt of the earth people! They are warm and friendly and extremely experienced. We felt safe and cared for like family! They know all the best spots for snorkeling and have some great tips. Their equipment is high quality Andino good condition andere snacks and drinks were just enough to get us through the trip! Communication was easy and good. Book with them! You won’t be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

We’ll always be here for you, and we can’t wait to see you all again soon. Your kind words mean a lot to us!
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.
You are most welcome Mr. Hunt! We enjoyed having you and your family onboard. We love what we do and are always happy to create great memories for everyone, no matter the age! We will be waiting to welcome you again soon here in paradise👍
Our family had a wonderful snorkel trip with Captains Bibi and Carl. Went to a fun snorkeling site, learned about Aruba and enjoyed a delicious lunch. We very much enjoyed their company and look forward to our next visit to this beautiful island. Highly recommend Ocean Encounters Aruba!
Thank you for your beautiful review Jane! We enjoyed entertaining you and your wonderful family on these magnificent waters of Aruba, we already look forward to your next visit!
We had a party of 8 (4 kids, 4 adults). The captains were amazing and super social. Great hosts with cheeses, drinks, and fruit. We snorkeled with fishe. Swam with turtles. Experienced a shipwreck and hung out at a turquoise water sandbar where the kids got to swim and throw a football around. Such an amazing way to experience the waters of Aruba!!! I’d do it again in a second!!! 100% recommend!!!
