This was one of our favorite experiences not just of this vacation, but of ANY vacation. Chris, Mas, Chaka and Justin got the party started and kept it going to the end. Snorkeling the shipwreck and the reef were magical and the crew always kept us safe. Seeing the ship up close and in such detail was amazing, the fish were colorful and we even spotted a sea turtle. In between, they kept serving us the best drinks we’ve had in Aruba, plus a constant stream of delicious food. All the while, they had a terrific playlist that only enhanced the positive vibes. They were so friendly and created the most happy atmosphere. A++++++!

Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience.
We would like to clarify that all guests receive detailed check-in instructions immediately after booking. In addition, we send another email with the same instructions approximately 24 hours before the tour. These emails include our check-in time, boarding time, and the exact meeting location.
If guests have any difficulty finding us, we are always available to help by phone, WhatsApp, email, or through our live chat.
We are also a little confused by the timing mentioned in your review, as our morning tour departs at 9:00 AM, not 8:30 AM. For that reason, we are not sure if this review may have been intended for another operator.
The trip is a more intimate experience with a much smaller group than other similar tours. Chris and his crew were eager to assist in getting our gear, drinks, and food and made the experience that much more fun.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re glad you enjoyed the more intimate atmosphere and the personal service from Chris and the crew. It’s great to hear they helped make your snorkeling experience fun and comfortable. We hope to see you back on board again!
Very entertaining crew especially Mas. Comfy ride, very good snorkeling. Watered down drinks and it’s an extra charge if you want beer.

Brunch isn’t really Brunch but it is fun finger food that they pass around every little while along with giving everyone drinks. I personally put on sunscreen before going and it reacted with my eyes for the whole trip to where I was unable to open my eyes hardly at all. I did snorkel at the first stop but didn’t even try at the second stop which I would have loved to snorkel at because there were lots of turtles and some barracuda as well! Everyone seemed to love the second spot at Malmok Bay.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the fun atmosphere onboard, the drinks, and the finger foods, and that you were still able to snorkel at the first stop and see some marine life.
We’re sorry to hear about the discomfort you experienced with your sunscreen during the trip that must have been very unpleasant and affected your ability to enjoy the second stop, especially with all the great marine life around Malmok Bay that day.
We appreciate your honest feedback about the “brunch” description as well. Comments like yours help us better set expectations for future guests so they know exactly what to expect onboard.
Thank you again for sailing with us, and we hope you’re still able to look back on parts of the experience fondly.
This was an enjoyable experience for myself and my family. The captain and crew were hospitable and attentive. The bites to eat and drink, were nice touches on this morning sail.
Response from Host, Jul 2026

We truly appreciate you sailing with us and hope to welcome you back again the next time you’re in Aruba.

i would eat breakfast (and get coffee) before going on this. the waves near the shipwreck were a bit choppy so it made it hard to snorkel, but the crew is incredibly accommodating and so sweet.
Amazing to see the shipwreck and schools of fish and sea turtles. The staff was friendly and the snacks and drinks were great too
