Bibi and Carl were awesome guides, very knowledgable. They took us to some beautiful parts of Aruba. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Aruba by water. Mike
Thank you for your nice words, Mike! We really enjoyed having you on the boat, please do come back soon, we will be waiting for the both of you!
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!
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!
Great trip, we saw lots of fish and turtles, and Karl and shine were great guides. 100% recommended.
Thank you Roger! It was our pleasure to show you around…we hope to see you again soon!
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!
