This catamaran sailing was SO MUCH FUN! The sailing, snorkeling, slide and rope swing were awesome, and the drinks and fruit were delicious! I would use Delphi again in a heartbeat.

My son said it was the best experience of his 12 year old life. Asked what was this favorite part.he couldn't decide and just said everything. Back flips into beautiful water. Trapeze was so fun. Snorkeling a shipwreck w fish and seaturtles. Everything was better than expected. Crew was easy going and attentive. Will Def do again next time in aruba.

Great experience! ...

Crystal_R, Sep 2026
Great experience! The snorkeling was fantastic and the crew were amazing. The snacks were a nice touch.

Party vibe, still family friendly, not relaxing

Kayla_L, Sep 2026
Guides were friendly and timely. Music was pretty loud, which for me was a challenge to enjoy the experience. Loud music during most all of the experience so you couldn’t even hear the water or relax and be over the sea. I would not recommend to my friends for this reason. Party vibe but still fam friendly. Rope swing was fun. Self-guided snorkel.

Entertaining crew

Deborah_B, Sep 2026

I had a great time!

Hadiyah_L, Aug 2026
My first experience snorkeling and I had the best time! In my case I wasn’t breathing correctly in the tube, but the coordinator made sure to work with me until I got it right. By my third jump into the water, I felt like a pro! The open bar is a great touch under the Aruban sun, and I was able to meet fun people.

Very fun sail and snorkel!!

Claudia_G, Aug 2026
This sail and snorkel was so much fun! I’m currently pregnant and the staff was very sweet even recommended I skip one of the snorkel spots as the water was very choppy. I still did it but I appreciated the recommendation/warning so much! We had more than enough time at each snorkel spot and to do the rope swing (which I did skip.) but everyone had a blast!! They served everyone as said in description and provided lunch/fruit. The captain was very funny and the rest of staff was very nice and seemed to be having a great time as well! I very much recommend taking THIS tour!!!
