Enjoyable afternoon - We had a great time! The captain and crew were friendly and enjoyable. The boat was clean and obviously well kept. They served us lunch and had an open bar and we were able to snorkel in 2 different areas. We saw lots of amazing fish and a shipwreck. The trip was safe and said fun!!

Highlight of our trip to Aruba! - Our snorkel excursion with De Palm Tours was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Aruba. Our guides, Randy & Cesar, were wonderful! The excursion not only gave us the chance to see more of Aruba, but also included an open bar and snacks, making it an unforgettable adventure!

Snorkeling in Aruba - Totally worth it! The crew was amazing, entertaining and attentive. Overall they made me feel safe which is usually my main concern when jumping off the side of a boat. 10 out of 10

Nice afternoon sail - Lovely afternoon sailing us to two stops (shipwreck + arashi reef) with about 45 minutes at each stop. They even provided snorkel goggles with corrective lenses which was appreciated. Great time sailing around the island! Would recommend for a nice afternoon.

Relaxing afternoon sail - We had a great time snorkeling, the boat is huge, lots of room to spread out or lay on the nets. Staff was friendly and always ready to mix up an afternoon cocktail. Tons of fish at both locations. Afternoon snack was a mix of cold sandwiches. What's not to like? I'd do it again for sure.

Nice trip - We took this trip while visiting Aruba on a cruise ship. Since our ship stayed late, we were able to take the afternoon trip. Getting a taxi to the DePalm pier was easy and check in was quick. The catamaran is large and has a fair amount of shady space. I thought the group size was perfect. One of the crew told us that we were a small group, implying that there could be quite a few more passengers. This would be unfortunate as our group size (40-45) allowed for plenty of room in both the shade and sun. We visited 2 snorkeling areas. The first was near the shore and was very easy. The water was calm and there were quite a few fish. The second was at a shipwreck. The snorkeling was great but the water was deeper and there was a strong current. It would have been better (and safer) if a crew member got in the water with us. We had adequate time in both places but the crew did not tell us how much time before we got in the water, which would have been helpful. To find a taxi back to the cruise port, we had to walk to the Riu hotel, which is next to the DePalm pier.

Highly recommend the tour, not the tour company - Tour was super fun but tour office won't stop emailing me and the booking process/interaction with the tour office wasn't pleasant. We stopped at two snorkel spots and there were sandwiches, fruit, and an open bar.

Mediocre snorkel experience - Crew was friendly enough but the snorkel experience itself was not at all what we expected. Basically anchor down in an area where there are multiple other boats doing the same thing. 50+ ppl get off the boat and you pretty much spend the time trying not to swim into each other. Too congested. If we had the chance to do it again we’d had spent the extra money and booked a private excursion.
