Vito was the best local tour guy. Awesome personal and private tour. Makes you feel comfortable in the water and using the equipment properly. He provides background on the turtles and Aruba, and has a passion for it. We saw lots of turtles with Vito guiding us and videoing it all along the way. Couldn’t ask for a better tour guide. Vito is the man for turtle spotting!

The guy who organizes this is very thorough and caring. His equipment was clean and well organized. My son had a hard time and he showed great care and concern for him and our family. We saw LOTS of turtles. He pointed them out, waited from the turtles and was super attentive. I would do this again. Total 5 star rating!

Kate_B, Apr 2026

Vito was amazing! He was knowledgeable and allowed us to experience the fish and turtles in our own way. I would highly recommend this private experience. 🐠🙂

Best local tour guide for turtle spotting!

Turtle Encounters & Unforgettable Memories with Vito” 🐢✨

Joyce_G, Apr 2026

Vito was an absolute star of a tour guide, giving us the perfect tips on how to respectfully approach the turtles—and wow, did it pay off! We were surrounded by them, gliding gracefully through the water and even coming right up to us out of pure curiosity. At one point, a turtle swam to within just three inches of my friend’s nose—talk about a once-in-a-lifetime moment! To top it all off, Vito even creates a memorable video of the entire experience as part of the excursion fee, so you can relive every magical second. Truly an unforgettable, up-close adventure with these amazing creatures 🐢✨

Amazing! The guide is a rock star!

We had an incredible time with Vito! His tour is very personal and gives a very local feel rather than a big group tour. We were very comfortable with him. Seen so many fish and sea turtles! The video was the icing on top to remember our time. Thank you Vito :)

Dana_H, Mar 2026

Vito was a really great guide. He gave us island history and info. He knew exactly where to take us to see so many beautiful fish and unusual ones and brought us super close to many turtles. He took exceptional videos of our adventure so we can relive the wonderful experience. He was very well equipped and we will definitely have him guide us again! If you want a great snorkel adventure, Aruba's Vitamin Sea Escapes we highly recommend.

Wonderful snorkeling experience

Steve_R, Mar 2026

We highly recommend this excursion! It was just the two of us with our wonderfully accommodating and knowledgeable guide, Vito! He picked us up at our hotel. He was very informative about how everything would happen and gave us a briefing that truly enhanced our experience. He knew right where to take us to see such an array of fish for our snorkeling tour. We learned a lot about turtles then got to see them ever so close up and personal! Vito had a portable shower that he used to rinse the salt off of us making us more comfortable during the outing. The best thing in addition to our experience was the videos he took. They were just awesome! A splendid souvenir! Highly recommend this whole excursion.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Steve for such a wonderfull review! Right on the spot!🙌 Thank you again! Greetings, Vito ! 💙ONE LOVE ARUBA🩵

Best Experience in Aruba

Luke_F, Feb 2026

You will not find a more authentic experience in Aruba. Vito was super helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure to maximize our time with him. He ensured that we would see lots of turtles and we did! We saw at least 8 turtles and a stingray during our time. Vito was super fun. I can not recommend this enough. It was super easy having a private guide who could pick us up from our hotel.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Luke and girfriend, I am honoured as being recognized as autentic! Being myself and just trying to give the best experience to everyone! Greetings, Vito ! 💙ONE LOVE ARUBA🩵

Vito Ariba!!

carly_s, Feb 2026

Vito was a joy; passionate about the turtles and island. He was prepared to rinse off after the snorkel and the video was a great feature. He was helpful to all levels of swimmers and gave a unique personalized experience. Vito is a seasoned veteran guide with decades of experience diving around Aruba.Tres Trapi was full of beautiful larger turtles and fish. We saw about 10 turtles that came so close and some cute smaller ones. Our group was 3 friends in their 30s and had a great time! I loved supporting a small local business in the island.

Response from Host, Mar 2026
