Top Aruba On the Water

It was a fantastic experience. Everyone was helpful and friendly. We rode the public bus right outside the terminal. It costed $5 round trip instead of $33 per person. The boat ride was fun. The boat also had canopy and that was big plus. The group was small and we loved it. I highly recommend this provider.

It was a fantastic way to see the sunken German ship, we have snorkeled over it in the past which was fun but the wind and current make it a little difficult to see the entire wreck. The semi-sub was easy peasy and air conditioned!!!! Guide was awesome!!!!

We had a fantastic experience with Banana’s Adventure Catamaran, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, personal, and well-run excursion in Aruba. Captain Jamil and crew member Benjie were excellent from start to finish. Safety was clearly their #1 priority, and they were very detailed in explaining everything before we got in the water and throughout the trip. We never felt rushed, and they made sure everyone was comfortable and knew what to expect. Our excursion included two snorkeling stops, and both were terrific. We saw turtles, fish of all sizes, and, of course, the famous Antilla shipwreck, which was a real highlight. The crew did a great job of guiding us and pointing out things we might otherwise have missed. The catamaran itself is on the smaller, more quaint side, but we actually found that to be a big plus. It was very comfortable and more than adequate for the excursion. Our group of six adults made the experience feel especially personal, and we really enjoyed having the opportunity to interact with the crew rather than being on a large, crowded boat. Another nice touch was the fresh fruit and tasty food served during the trip. Everything was simple, fresh, and exactly what you want after snorkeling. Overall, this was a great experience and an excellent value. The combination of a smaller boat, attentive crew, emphasis on safety, great snorkeling, good food, and a more personal atmosphere made this one of the highlights of our Aruba trip. Captain Jamil and Benjie took great care of us, and we would definitely recommend Banana’s Adventure Catamaran!

Very nice I felt safe the crew were all nice and respectful and will make sure you’re comfortable they know how to treat tourists right and they don’t haggle for tips or anything.They’re always going around if u need more drink or anything. 5star rating all around

We spent a beautiful half day sailing and snorkeling off Aruba’s Palm Beach, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The water was crystal clear, and we saw an incredible variety of marine life, colorful coral formations, a shipwreck, and even had the opportunity to swim alongside wild sea turtles. In addition to the snorkeling, the crew kept everyone well taken care of with refreshing drinks and a delicious lunch, both of which exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, making the entire trip enjoyable and relaxing. If you’re looking for a fun day on the water while visiting Aruba, this excursion is a great choice. We had an amazing time and would definitely do it again.

It was a great experience!! I forgot to write this review afterwards. They’re strict on the rules as they should be! Someone literally crashed the jet skis after they went over the rules lol but no one got hurt and it wasn’t in my group. They handled it quickly and when our time was up someone rounded us up. Easy to find on the beach, so I don’t know about transportation I didn’t stay far from the beach.

My eldest daughter rode with my two youngest and nephew and they had an AMAZING time! My daughter and younger son and nephew fell off the jet ski and was quickly attended to by staff members and other passing boats. DEFINITELY would rent again if ever back in Aruba!

Our favorite adventure of the week. We’ve done other snorkeling and catamarans here but nothing beats the Jolly Pirates. The boat is cool, staff is fun and friendly, great for family. Be careful the Rum Punch hits haha. Captain Ron and his crew are awesome! Great time and adventure!
