Great experience. Guides were fantastic. We seen a bunch of turtles and a few other fish. I would recommend this tour.

This was amazing!! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the sea turtles and knew exactly where to go. The footage is very high quality and awesome to have. So nice to have a private tour with just your group. It was so peaceful and we saw so many turtles!!! We also saw a stingray and some other fish as an added bonus. They were also very communicative and gave detailed information beforehand and answered all questions promptly. They also provide high quality snorkel gear (including fins) for you to use if you don’t have your own. Loved every second and would do it again in a heartbeat !

Best activity on the island. We seen plenty of sea turtles and fish. My son had a blast and the instructor made sure everyone was comfortable the whole time. It’s a perfect activity for families

Had the most adventurous time! This was my first time snorkeling and john made sure that I was comfortable and most certainly safe the entire time!! He also compiled an epic video of the experience; I 100% recommend everyone to book this tour! He also had souvenirs for purchase which worked perfectly since I need some to take home. 10/10 Experience! ☺️👍🏾

This is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Jonathan brings you right up to the sea turtles and as long as you’re calm they will come right up to you. Jonathan is an amazing tour guide and was super patient, funny, and truly did everything to make the video as amazing as it was. Thank you Jonathan for giving me an experience I will never forget! (Make sure you have transportation to and from the beach)

This was a highlight of our trip! Great communication, guide and experience. A+. We lost count of the number of sea turtles we saw! The videos provided after the excursion were amazing and included a bonus, already edited, shareable clip. Definitely recommend.

Amazing experience! My father-in-law and my two kids had a blast!! They saw lots of turtles, a stingray, and lots of fish. Jonathan was great! 10/10-- will do again when we come back!

You meet at beautiful Tres Trapi beach via taxi and walk out into the sea with fins, snorkeling goggles, life jacket, and pool noodle. We saw so many turtles at the ocean floor and some that swam up for air. Great excursion for family! Jonathan was a great tour guide. Very patient, kind, and well versed on snorkeling. You need to arrange a taxi back to your hotel.

Jonathan was an absolutely fantastic guide. A local that knows all the best spots to see a variety of sea life! Besides enjoying the beautiful, clear, temperate waters, we swam with green sea turtles, striped snake eel, puffer fish, permit fish, angelfish, among others. Additionally, Jonathon captured our amazing adventure on video throughout our snorkeling experience. I highly recommend Jonathan and this excursion!

My friend and I have been snorkeling before in other places, but Jonathan was by far the best guide we’ve had on a snorkeling adventure. He made sure we felt comfortable in the water the entire time and even convinced us to try free diving. I am a good swimmer, but slightly scared of the ocean (it’s deep and full of a lot of creatures lol). No one has ever been able to convince me to try before, but Jonathan made me feel so safe the entire time. Also, I don’t know what kind of turtle whispering magic he posses, but we saw so many turtles with him- it was insane! The photos and videos he took from our swim were incredible!!! I’m so happy we booked with him and would 100% recommend booking with Jonathan if you want to have an amazing snorkeling experience and get photos and videos to remember it all.

Thank you so much for this amazing review!
It truly means a lot to hear how comfortable and safe you felt in the water, that's always my number one goal. The ocean can definitely feel intimidating so the fact that you gave freediving a try is something to be proud of! We really did get lucky with how many we saw that day.
Thank you again for trusting me with your adventure and for the kind recommendation. I'd love to snorkel (and maybe freedive 😉) with you again anytime you're back in Aruba! 🐢💙

Best experience in Aruba yet! We were able to see MANY turtles, and one came right by my HEAD!! SICK! I highly suggest Jonathan and the private experience more so than anything else.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much!
So awesome that the turtles came that close! I really appreciate the recommendation and I'm glad the private experience made it extra special.
Hope to see you back in the water again next time you're in Aruba!

Jonathan made the experience stress-free, even for a non-swimmer. Fun time snorkeling and getting a private tour. Would do it again.
Teresa_K, Dec 2025
Jonathan was amazing! We’re not good swimmers but he was very patient and made sure that we felt comfortable in the water. We saw turtles, stingrays, flying gurnard and squid. Highly recommended!
lindsay_l, Dec 2025
We went snorkeling with Jonathan and saw lots of turtles and other fish! He showed us the best places to see them — I don’t think we would’ve found the turtles without his guidance. He made the tour feel relaxing and enjoyable. I was a weak swimmer but always felt safe.

This tour is amazing, we saw sea turtles the entire time. A few swam right next to us. Jonathan was amazing, super laid back and very knowledgeable! You will feel very safe/comfortable and he will tell you how best to interact with the wildlife to ensure a good experience. If you only do one tour do this one - definitely recommend!

Excellent communication and patience with our late arrival due to taxi. Jonathan was helpful and made us feel all at ease. Took care of us, even though we were at different levels of comfort in the water. Enjoyed numerous sightings of turtles. The video of our trip was amazing!! Highly recommend.
