My family had a great experience. My children have never snorkeled before. The captain and his crew made it a great time for all aboard. They gave clear and simple instructions, played great music and inured. We were all safe and accounted for. I highly recommend Delphi water sports.

ROBERT_P, Jul 2026

Thank you Dolphin Tours!! We had a great time! During our visit to Aruba, it rained a bit and the water was pretty choppy around the sunken ship snorkel area. Would’ve appreciated if they’d just calmed the sea for us (LOL). Seriously though, the crew did everything they could to make everyone feel welcome and to make this a fun adventure.

Michael_T, Jul 2026

What a great time...We were late and the Captain sent a smaller speed boat to grab my group of 9 from the beach. We caught up to the group post haste. This is our this time with Dolphin....Always a fun time!!

Great Experience

Kirby_M, Jul 2026

Service and experience overall was great. The snorkeling ship wreck area had really rocky water which made it hard to see but something the crew couldn’t control. Ship was nice and our kids loved the water slide and rope swing.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Kirby, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear you had a great time overall and that our crew helped make your trip enjoyable. While the water conditions at the shipwreck snorkeling site can sometimes be a bit rough and are beyond our control, we appreciate your understanding. We're happy to hear that you still enjoyed the experience and that your kids had so much fun on the water slide and rope swing! Thank you for sailing with us. We hope to welcome you and your family back on board for another adventure soon!

Very Very Windy Many snorklers did not enjoy the 1St stop based on the Wind. Staff were excellant Boat was clean

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Steve, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found our staff excellent and appreciated the cleanliness of the boat. We're sorry that the windy conditions affected your experience at the first snorkeling stop. Unfortunately, weather and sea conditions are beyond our control and can vary from day to day. We always prioritize the safety of our guests while doing our best to provide the best snorkeling experience possible. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a sail in calmer conditions.

Fun Day

Maria_L, Jul 2026

This was a fun experience for the entire family. I thought it was fun however, the one thing was, I thought it had a bit too many people on board. My husband had to sit on the stairs as there was no where else to sit since we were the last ones on board. I would still recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Maria, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear your family had a fun time with us and that you would still recommend our tour. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the seating. We're sorry to hear your husband wasn't able to find a more comfortable seat after boarding.

Thank you again for sailing with us, and we hope to welcome your family back aboard on your next visit to Aruba!

Good but not great

Krystyna_T, Jul 2026

This was a fun snorkeling trip at the second spot and the crew was nice. However the first stop at the sunken ship, the water was so rough that people went in the water and immediately were coming back out. I wouldn’t recommend this stop for kids, our 8 year old was scared because the waves were so strong and rough and it was honestly too rough of water to enjoy as an adult who has snorkeled many times before. The second stop was great and waves were small and we enjoyed it and saw some cool fish but they could just leave off the first place when the waves are that bad or replace it with a spot where you could swim. It was also more crowded than we expected so tight seating.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Krystyn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the second snorkeling stop and that our crew helped make your experience a positive one. We're sorry the conditions at the shipwreck site weren't ideal during your trip. Sea conditions can vary from day to day, and while we always do our best to choose the safest and most enjoyable experience possible, Mother Nature is sometimes beyond our control. The Antilla shipwreck is one of Aruba's most iconic snorkeling locations, but we understand that rough water can make it less enjoyable, especially for children or less experienced snorkelers. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the seating and itinerary, as they help us continue improving our guest experience. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another sail in calmer conditions.

Fun on the catamaran

James_E, Jul 2026

2 places to snorkel, first one the water is alittle rough, 2nd calm waters. We saw a lot of fish. While the boat is stopped you can enjoy the water slide attached to boat or jump/dive off of back of boat. They then put out the “Tarzan” swing to play on. The crew is fantastic fun, helpful make the cruise fun and easy. You get fresh fruit and a small wrap to eat. Plus, drinks, fruit drinks soda, water and alcoholic drinks. They have rest rooms on the boat, small hopefully your not claustrophobic

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi James, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting both snorkeling locations and that you were able to see so many beautiful fish. Sea conditions can vary from day to day, so we appreciate your understanding that the first stop may sometimes have stronger currents, while the second is often calmer. We're especially happy that you enjoyed all the fun activities, from the waterslide and jumping off the boat to the Tarzan swing. It sounds like you made the most of your adventure! Your kind words about our crew mean so much to us. They work hard to create a fun, safe, and memorable experience for every guest, and we're glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and their hospitality. Thank you once again for choosing to sail with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back aboard for another unforgettable adventure in Aruba!

Hi Patricia, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you felt safe and well cared for throughout the tour.

The only complaint I have...

Derrick_F, Jun 2026

The only complaint I have is that i wish they offered an option for just adults 18 and above. We should be allowed to play our own playlist or make request. Other than that, the tour guides were all excellent and we had a ball. most would do it again.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Derrick, We're so happy to hear that you had a great time and that our tour guides helped make your experience enjoyable. It's wonderful to know that you had such a good time that you'd do it again! We also appreciate your suggestions regarding an adults-only option and the music selection. Guest feedback is very important to us, and we'll certainly share your comments with our team as we continue looking for ways to enhance the experience for all of our guests. A great alternative is to book the Private option next time, then you can play your own music and tailer the trip to your own liking! Thank you again for choosing Delphi Watersports. We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you're in Aruba for another fun-filled adventure!

Rum punch or off the deck

Sheryl_R, Jun 2026

The staff were very professional and made sure they watched everyone that was in the water. They stressed safety and told participants where they could swim and not. The rim punch and fruit juice flowed continuously throughout the boat ride. Our grandchild enjoyed the snorkeling, swinging and jumping off the boat. The boat ride was okay. I have it a four star because a bigger and newer catamaran should have used. Our catamaran was a little crowded. I saw other catamarans while we were locked in the ocean that appeared a little more up-to-date. They had tuna and chicken sandwich wraps and fruit as stated. Most people did not like the tuna fish wrap but my chicken wrap was good. So far the ride and breeze was the best part for me. I would do it again

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Sheryl, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sailing, the beautiful ocean breeze, and that your grandchild had a wonderful time snorkeling, using the rope swing, and jumping into the water. It's also great to know that our crew's professionalism and focus on safety made you feel well taken care of, that is always our top priority. We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the catamaran and the food. Guest comments like yours help us continue to improve the experience we provide. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the chicken wrap, and we'll certainly take your comments about the tuna wrap into consideration!

Snorkeling at its best

Rob_Z, Jun 2026

Fun family experience with teenagers

Jen_K, Jun 2026

We traveled with our daughter (18) and our son (16) The guides Victor, Jose, and Rio were fabulous. They provided a great trip and were a lot of fun. Our son enjoyed talking with them. Our daughter had a lot of fun (and me too) on the rope swing and another passenger taught us how to back flip off the swing! The snorkeling at the shipwreck was really good. The punch was refreshing and those chicken salad wraps tasted delicious! My husband is not a snorkel guy or swimmer but he had just as much fun and felt totally safe being along for the ride.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

HI Jen, Thank you for the detailed and wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear your whole family had such a great time and that Victor, Jose, and Rio helped make the trip fun, safe, and memorable for everyone. It’s great that you all enjoyed the snorkeling, rope swing, and refreshments. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board again in the future!
