Swimming with the Turtles - The best excursion experience for the money in Aruba. Our trip was about three hours long and was great from the moment we set foot on the catamaran. The crew has an amazing DJ and an open bar. It was a short sail to the reef, shipwreck. Both spots did not disappoint. We saw snappers, groupers, angelfish and turtles. Make sure you bring a waterproof case for your phone so you can capture all the amazing creatures.

Snorkel with the sea turtles! - Swimming with the sea turtles, and visiting the shipwreck was such an amazing experience. Shout out to Kevin and the crew for an excellent afternoon. Fruit, sandwiches and open bar a welcomed plus.

Accidental Discovery and now 1st choice! - 3rd time to do a catamaran snorkeling tour in Aruba and misbooked.... lucky us! Checkin ladies super helpful. Easy boarding onto stable and large catamaran off the pier at Bugaloos. Already off to a better start than the last 2x we did this with other operators. Traveling with elderly mom with knee replacements. Easy on and off.
Tour was 3 hours with roomy hour at Catalina. 10' shallow with plenty of colorful fish. 2nd so, also roomy hour, at deeper shipwreck.
Provided masks, self-inflatable life vests, flippers. Brings towels. Plan for sun but plenty shady spots to find on board.
Open bar started at take off. Friendly crew.
Food/snacks was more substantial than any snorkeling cruise we've ever done. Included hotdogs, 2 types of sandwiches, and fruit kabobs.
Bring towel. This one is a keeper and some use any other from now one.

Best day ever with the Fortunata and Marco/Osmar! - BEST DAY EVER!!! My husband booked a private catamaran for our group of 10 for a 3 hour trip for my 40th birthday. We could not have had a better time! Our captains Marco and Osmar were PHENOMENAL. They made sure everyone had a great time from keeping our drinks full to helping us spot turtles and other wildlife while we were snorkeling. They made us all feel like we were part of their sailing family :) Speaking of the boat, it was beautiful! We were on the Fortunata which was a newer boat and it was stunning! Bathrooms, bedrooms, a small kitchen and plenty of space for our entire party! The only suggestion I have is that it could use some air conditioning on the inside (it’s hot out there!) and they could use some speakers on the front of the boat. We brought a speaker and they helped us set that up so we could continue our music while relaxing on the front as a group! Highly highly highly recommend this tour along with Marco and Osmar as they made our day that much more special. Not just a 10/10 but this experience was 100/10!

Lovely Snorkeling Experience - The afternoon snorkel trip with De Palm Tours catamaran was outstanding. The crew was great and made sure we had fun and also stayed safe. The snorkeling over the wreck of the Antilla was a fantastic place to start. My wife and I loved the stop over the reef at the North end of the island even better as there was a bigger variety of sealife. It was my wife's first snorkel experience and now she is hooked. We will definitely sign up again on our next visit.

Snorkeling was fun, but not family friendly experience - The crew was good. They took us to good spots to snorkel in. They were friendly and nice. We were served lunch, hot dogs & sandwiches, and fruit skewers. My family said it the hot dogs and sandwiches were good. I have a gluten allergy so I just had fruit. The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the music. We were not the only families on the trip and they were blasting very inappropriate music full of curse words and sexual innuendos. They certainly could have chosen to play clean versions of the same songs but did not. I was very disappointed that it was not family friendly. I just want other parents to be informed before booking a tour.
