Great day at the beach! - Nice tour to Mangel Halto and Baby beach . Pick up was in time. Danny and his colleague were great .Mangel Halto has nice waters, great for snorkeling and a couple huts to stay in the shade . The mangrove allows for some green shade too. There is another open top the sea section, =but is rocky and you need water shoes. Baby beach has two sides. We first went to the smaller side. There is a restaurant and you can rent tents, but there is no time for that. We stayed here 1 hr and enjoyed the very shallow baby blue waters and fine sand. very nice to enjoy that calm waters and take some nice photos . Then we were taken on the other side of Baby beach , were there was a restaurant with a cute infinity pool , overlooking the beach. Unfortunately the food was not appealing ( no traditional food at all ; sorry , but I did not come to the Caribbean to eat french fries and burgers and not all tourists are American to eat crappy food) . The beach here is more open and longer . There is also a shaded area and a few umbrellas. We stayed here 45 min. I would have liked more time on the beach though. We ere provided with free water along the way . Tour started at 9 am and ended around 1,30 pm. I recommend renting a car and come to at least Baby beach to spend a full day ( with maybe another 2 hrs at Mangel Halto). Stop on the way back to O'neil Caribbean Kitchen restaurant in San Nicolas . Amazing traditional food here, affordable, excellent service. Go in, even if the doors are closed. El Tours should add this to their tour in my opinion, this would be an amazing end to the two beaches trip.

Snorkeling & relaxing - Seeing a barracuda at Baby beach, and all of the other fish was the most memorable part. The snorkeling there was great! Mangel Alto was so unique looking, unfortunately the high winds prevented us from getting out to the snorkeling spot but it was still worth it. Just riding around in the bus & seeing parts of Aruba was really wonderful. Our guides, Alex & Gary, were nice & funny.

An Interesting Ride & Beach Hop - Loved the ride through areas not usually on a vacationer's radar. The bus driver was a lot of fun as was the open-air bus. We loved the murals in San Nicolas and Big Mamma's at Baby Beach. The snorkeling wasn't great the day we participated but we loved chasing the beach crabs at the Mangel Halto reef and the stone creations at Baby Beach.

Trip to the beaches - The beaches are very beautiful, what I thought was bad was because I asked for a tour with a Spanish speaking guide and he only spoke English, only the transport driver spoke Spanish which helped a lot, but I was still a little upset because during the trip the guide It explained several things about the history of the place that I couldn't understand and there was no way for the driver to explain it to me as he obviously had to pay attention to the traffic. Stops are 1 hour at Mangel Halto and 2 hours at Baby Beach

Baby beach Time is a LIE- NOT 3 HOURS- it is only 1.5 hours. - The description of this package is DISHONEST. We had only 1.5 hours at baby beach, and we specifically picked it because it VERY CLEARLY says 3 hours. If you think about it, it is really more like 1 hr 15 minutes because you have to be ready to go on the bus. I would not have booked this trip if I had known, because then it feels like a waste of time to go all the way to Baby Beach. I imagine that it is delibrerately not including the travel time to baby beach to avoid scaring people away. I did not say anything at the time because I thought perhaps I read the event description wrong. But I did not. I had no problem whatsoever wtih the tour guides, with the exception that the bus pickup was 20 minutes late- it sounded like some guests weren't ready on time according to the company I called-- so that is a bit of a mystery. The experience was overall nice if you ignore the timing issue- we were provided water bottles and snorkel gear. The Mangel Halto was in a mangrove and pleasant but I would rather have gone straight to Baby Beach for more time. Baby Beach Snorkeling was wonderful. I appreciated that one of the tour guides was in the water with us with a flotation device. Take note for those who aren't swimmers and want to snorkel that there is no life vest. This was fine for me but not my boyfriend. For snorkeling, at the back of Baby Beach is a sudden drop off in the ocean floor, creating an avenue that is teeming with many species of fish. The ground rises back up to some rocks, and he was able to stand on them while in the water and use the snorkel gear. The many fish were constant- I don't know if it is always like this, but that was great.
