A perfect snorkeling excursion - When I went to my hotel lobby at 855 my tour guide Emmanuel was waiting for me. After a quick stop at the Nautilus Dive Center Aruba to get our equipment we were off to Mangel Halto, a small beach located in Pos Chiquito. I was the only client that day so I got a private snorkeling tour. Emmanuel was very attentively and catered the excursion to my snorkeling experience. He pointed out the brain and antler coral; told me about the significance of the parrot fish and even pointed out a barracuda and sea turtle that I might have missed. We saw a small shipwreck and could see people scuba diving beneath us. The highlight of the trip for me was the remora fish that took a liking to me and decided stayed with me for the last quarter of the tour. I didn't even notice until Emmanuel stopped and brought it to my attention. That little guy was with me all the way until the end of the tour. When we got back into the shallow water, he was still circling me. Overall I had a amazing time. The trip was exactly what I was looking for and I thought the amount time in the water and swimming was perfect. Getting picked up and dropped off at my hotel was an additional benefit. I would highly recommended this tour.

The best place to snorkel is Mangel Halto with Nautilus! - Incredible adventure! Alba, our guide, was great and so wonderful to get to know. Our 7 and 9 year olds were champs, but eventually tired out - it’s work for little bodies! Alba made us feel safe, paying extra attention to the kids and also towed the kiddos with a donut so they could rest. The views were breathtaking and the sunken boat was awesome! 10/10, highly recommend Nautilus Dive Center!

Great snorkel experience - I chose to hires a guide because this particular place is know for it’s currents and I was glad I did. I was conveniently picked up at my Airbnb and dropped off later. Dominick was an excellent snorkel guide and provided/offered anything I would have needed of equipment. We swam to an outer reef and the snorkeling was excellent! He always made sure that I was close and carried a life ring floaty in case I got tired. The snorkel was the perfect length of time. All in all a great morning experience with lots of pretty fish to see. Dominick, a dive master and instructor from Costa Rica, was sweet and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this guided snorkeling tour.

Very worthwhile! - Izhar was our guide and he was very personable and a great instructor with a nice sense of humor. The current entering the bay was strong and he towed us out to the best coral area. The fish and coral and there were amazing and the shipwreck was cool. For those of you who are not strong swimmers would pick a calmer day. Overall an excellent experience!

Best snorkeling in Aruba - This was one of the best snorkling trips we've ever done. Tons of fish EVERYWHERE and the water was really clear. Our guide, Junior, was awesome and super knowledgeable. The equipment was clean and didn't have any tears or holes, and the location is just down the street from the dive center.

Great morning of snorkeling - Dominick was right on time to pick us up for our morning snorkel. We drove to their dive shop and got our equipment. Very safety conscious at all times. Four of us then drove to Magel Halto where we walked into the water. Sadly the current and waves were a little too strong to swim all the way to the coral reef. We saw lots of fish and a recently sunk boat. Lots of fun and would do it again.

Great experience at Mangel Halto - The team at Nautilus is very professional, knowledgeable and cordial. We had a great time snorkeling in the beautiful coral reef at Mangel Halto. I would recommend this experience to anyone that’s looking for a great snorkeling spot without a long boat ride.

Made the best of stormy waters - The reason I’m rating this a three and not a four is because the van we were picked up in from the port was very rundown with no air conditioning or windows that would open. They said their regular van was in the shop, but Junior and Manuel took great care of us in the water. The water was very rough as a storm had come through, but they did a great job of making sure we were all safe and got to see enough of Mangel Halto. The scooters were an awesome, easy experience.
