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!

Thank you so much for choosing us, Paul, and for trusting us to entertain your wonderful family! We truly love what we do, and it’s always a joy to share Aruba—our little paradise in the Caribbean—full of surprises, unique experiences, and a welcoming sense of safety. 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!
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.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Erin. It truly means a lot to us. We loved having you, your family and kiddos on board, and we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring the southern side of the island — it really is a special spot. Knowing that you felt taken care of and had a one‑of‑a‑kind day on the water is exactly why we do what we do. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
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.
With pleasure Brian! We hope to see all of you again soon! Our little paradise truly has a lot to offer, and we love doing what we do and spoil our guests to the Max!
Everything about this snorkeling trip was great. Super nice people and we saw so many turtles and cool fish. Boat is nice and we had a fantastic time.
Thank you very much for your kind review Jeffrey! We will be looking forward to welcome you and your beautiful family once again here in Paradise Aruba! Ocean Encounters Aruba has much more secrets gems to show you! Come again soon!
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.
Your wonderful review means a lot to us Jonathan! It was truly our pleasure to have you on board with us, and can’t wait to welcome you and your wonderful family once again in the near future!
