Perfect afternoon - Awesome afternoon with Junior. Picked me up right on time. Everything was very chill, had a really great tour of the reef and shipwreck. Definitely will do another snorkeling trip with them.

good experience. - good activity. Simple fun. the location of the bay is a shirt distance from where the offices are. It is about a 40 minute session with one diver. Water was clear.

Amazing - Junior was a great guide. He informed us which routes we were taking and checked on all members of group periodically. The experience was amazing. As a non-swimmer, I felt completely comfortable in the water and had a great time.

The best snorkeling tour in the island - Extremely good tour, much nicer and cheaper than booking inside the ship, totally recommend. We had the tour for ourselves and the guide, personalized experience, really nice people. Would repeat if traveling again to Aruba.

Fantastic experience for the family - Congratulations for Junior, our instructeur. He was very patient and kind as we had no experience. He also paid very attention to my little daughter during all the experience.

Great time snorkeling - Juan and his crew were very nice. Trip was good . My partner and I were the only ones in the excursion. Made it nice not sure the name of the guide that led us out to the reef but he was very caring and made sure we were ok. We saw a lot of fish in the deep part and unfortunately the ship wreck was difficult to see due to murky. But that is Nature no one’s fault.
We got water and a cookie when we left and a shower to rinse off the salt water ..
Took a minute to find the place so take extra time and realize dive center is at someone’s residence .

Life changing! - I have traveled and done a lot of things in my life but that was hands down one of the coolest things I have done. Junior was our instructor and he was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. In addition, to a warm personality he is a skilled underwater expert, happy to help and has great jokes. Worth every dollar! Don’t wait - book now!

Reef snorkel that was worth the money. - No problem with hotel pick up and ride to dive shop in a neighborhood. We were the only two on the trip. Good quality mask, snorkel, fins, and life jackets. Two bock ride from dive shop to sandy walk-in spot with beautiful mangroves. Our guide who was from Aruba was friendly and knowledgeable. He secured our valuables in the van. My wife is not a strong swimmer so he let her hold on to life preserver which he towed out against a week current past the reef. The fish were sparse but colorful. The waves were a little choppy but it’s always windy on Aruba. Our guide supplied cold water and cookies which was a nice touch. Overall it was worth the money.

Horrible! - This was the worst. A hot mess. Picked us up in a beat up, dirty, filthy little van with no a.c. (It is sweltering humid) After a 30 minute drive, they took us to a ramshackle building in a shabby area of town where we had to wait another half hour for other “guests” not affiliated with our excursion. Then another 10 minute drive to the beach. Then my wife and the others ventured out to snorkel. Because the conditions were so rough, my wife had to turn back and tried to find me. The guide just left her behind. Then a drive back to the shack where we were left in this dirty van for at least 15 minutes with no a.c. Then another 40 minute drive back to town. This was deplorable and not even close to Viator's standards. We have videos to support our terrible experience. I am asking for a total refund on this excursion.
