Junior is the man!, very friendly and knowledgeable. We weren’t experienced he helped every step of the way. The pickup and drop off was great. This was a private snorkel tour and the highlight was Mangel Halto with amazing colorful coral and fish. Highly recommend.

    I had an absolutely amazing time on the snorkeling tour! The booking process was super easy and straightforward—no hassle at all. They picked me up right at my hotel, and communication was spot on from start to finish, so I always knew what to expect. I got really lucky and ended up being the only one on the tour that day, which made it feel even more personalized. Carlos, the guide, was incredible. He was super patient, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt safe throughout the whole experience. As for the snorkeling itself—wow! We saw so many fish, just as promised, and the water was crystal clear. The highlight for me was just being immersed in such a vibrant underwater world. During the drive, Carlos gave a tour of the island, which was a great bonus. Beautiful views, interesting tidbits about the local culture and places to eat where the locals eat, and just a great way to wrap up an already fantastic adventure. Overall, it could not have been a better experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the sea and get a little more out of their trip!

    Solo time in the sun

    Thayne_E, Jan 2026
    These guides are the most professional snorkeling tour operators i have ever been with over many years of snorkeling. They are knowledgable about the areas they take you and really safety conscious. I was with a group of about 10 for the tome we spent on the Mangel Halto reef and then Alex took me solo the the "lazy river" run at Baby beach. Goimg out with them will be a highlight of your time in Aruba

    Advanced swimmers only

    This should be listed as a heavy endurance adventure. I am a seasoned diver but my family is not. They struggle so badly one ended with a migraine the other ended sick from the motion sickness

    Amazing!

    Empathetic and knowledgeable guide

    Anna_S, Dec 2025
    Carlos is an exceptionally kind and thoughtful guide. My wife is afraid of the sea, and he helped gently guide her into the water. I was once a strong, confident swimmer but I'm 76 and swim rarely now. Carlos assisted me and created a wonderful, memorable snorkeling experience. (written by Anna's husband, Fritz)

    Great tour thank you Junior!

    Absolutely amazing! So many different kinds of fish to see and Junior our tour guide was the best. He gave us so much history about the island and was a pleasure to hang out with for the day.

    Carlos was great and...

    Carlos was great and extremely knowledgeable! We recommend going snorkeling with him at the mangel halto and baby beach!

    You get your full time snorkeling !!!!

    Andre_P, Aug 2025
    This was a great excursion experience. I was the only one on this excursion which made it a little more personal. This excursion is not off a boat, you will be picked up in a van and driven to two snorkeling location where you will see colorful fish. Highly recommend !!!!!

    Beautiful and worth the money

    Danielle_A, Jul 2025
    Carlos was very kind and patient. He made sure everybody was comfortable and felt safe.. He is right there with you in the water and kept an eye on you. He had a floating life preserver just in case you needed a break. (at times with wind tide can get rough). The bright orange life preserver also helped you navigate and stay close to group.

    A definite must do

    maura_m, May 2025
    This tour was AWESOME! We travel and snorkel often, and this was definitely something special. The reef at Mangel Halto is truly breathtaking! Our guide Carlos made the whole trip even more spectacular, friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Already planning to do it again!

    Carlos was AWESOME!

    Carlos is awesome

    Amy_E, Mar 2025
    Carlos was fabulous. Very kind and patient and knowledgeable. The company’s building is in what looks like a housing community, but after you sign papers for the tour, you realize that it is only a couple blocks from the first snorkeling location. Having a private local driver and snorkel guide is amazing. Relax and enjoy the experience and see some of the island on the drive between beaches.

    Great experience

    Susan_I, Feb 2025
    All around great trip! Highly recommend ! My traveling partners do not snorkel and Junior and his team made this easy and fun! Definitely will return!

    Must do!

    Elizabeth_F, Jan 2025

    Thank so you for your review we appreciate it!

    Great Snorkeling!

    Meme_B, Dec 2024
    Great snorkeling experience. Highly recommend. We saw many species of fish. Thanks to Junior for being a terrific guide!

    Great snorkeling in Aruba!

    pigipax, Aug 2024
    Beautiful snorkeling experience for the entire family in two different beaches in Aruba, Baby Beach and Mangel Halto! Baby beach is a super easy swimming, while Mangel Halto requires a little bit more - not too much. Bruno and Emmanuel have been very friendly and helped us to benefit the most from the activity. Small group experience: our family of 4 and another couple for two expert guides. They also took underwater pictures of us and of the… abundant fish!

    Fun and great snorkeling

    Nicole_F, Jul 2024
    The snorkeling was great. Our tour guides were new to the area-literally had been here 4 days but seemed to know their way around. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was convenient. Overall a good experience!

    Amazing snorkeling experience saw lots of beautiful fish and colorful coral. Definitely recommend the guides were great too.

    Awesome!!!

    Kelley_V, May 2024
    Amazing time today! We saw so many 🐠🐟🐡and got amazing pictures. Junior was our private 🤿tour guide and he stayed within a few feet of us at all times. Made my daughter and I feel very safe. A beautiful day. Highly recommend!! Junior is a beautiful soul. May God bless him always!

    Snorkeling excursion

    Ray_F, May 2024
    Junior is an amazing guide, assured our safety and consistently tried to assure our satisfaction. He always had a life buoy near by. He gave us pointers to help navigate the current. You can tell he loves being in the water and having others experience it as well. The first stop Mangel Halto , the waters were choppy but saw fish and a small sunken boat. The second stop, Baby Beach , the water was calm. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of reefs left but saw a lot of fish. I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. I traveled with friends but did this excursion solo. I am not sure this should be named Discover Snorkeling as the current can be rough and if you aren’t experienced it could be a challenge, especially at the first stop.

    Must do with Nautilus and Junior!

    Loraine_N, Apr 2024
    Junior was the best!!! Best thing I did my whole trip. Will definitely recommend Nautilus dive trip!! Have showers at end of trip, and lots of ice cold water to drink... Baby beach was so beautiful.

    Amazing fish and gorgeous waters

    Tracy_D, Mar 2024
    Our guide, Junie, was fabulous. He was very friendly, and helped us set up for snorkeling successfully and with patience. Baby Beach is a slice of heaven!

    Great Snorkeling Adventure

    We had a great time with Junior as our guide. He took us to the best snorkel areas and was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. We highly recommend this snorkel tour when visiting Aruba!

    We had a great time...

    Paul_N, Feb 2024
    We had a great time snorkeling and saw many fish and coral. Between the driver, the dive shop and Gio our snorkeling guide who set safety as a priority, we had a super time and my wife who was a first time snorkeling was able to relax and have fun.

    Amazing Team

    Best part of this snorkeling trip was the guides actually go out with you and take you to the best places to see the most amazing and beautiful coral and fish.

    Moira_S, Sep 2023
    Juan was our tour guide. He was awesome! We had a wonderful day snorkeling and learning some Aruba history. Got to see many kind of colorful fFsh, a Shipwreck and of course beautiful water. Just tge right amount of time. Worthwhile! Would definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A memorable adventure!

    Lorraine_S, Oct 2022
    My sister and I had our own private guide and he was terrific. He knew all of the great spots to see so many varieties of ocean life. We felt safe and had the time of our lives. Our guide told great stories, carried our gear and fed us cookies! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Best snorkel tour

    My family of 5 had an amazing tour with Fernando!!! He was extremely knowledgeable in both showing us how to snorkel and pointing out fish we would have missed! Flounders, eels, sea urchins, baby squid, a lobster and tons of colorful fish!! He also took us to the ship wreck at Mangel Halto!! I highly recommend booking this tour!
