Had a great time, Luis was our guide. He was knowledgeable and courteous. I recommend this snorkeling experience 100%. They worked with us giving us the opportunity to go the following as the waves were rough on our originally scheduled day.

Had the most incredible time snoreling with my daughter. We seen so many turtles! We also seen a manta ray and some other beautiful marine life. Luis our guide, was amazing! So friendly and knowledgable. He even helped us get a ride back to the hotel. This was definitely my favorite day in Aruba.
A great experience with Nathan. He took us where we wouldn’t have been. He didn’t just give us the equipment and say go snorkel. He took us to awesome little nooks and crannies in the Ocean and towed us three 50 year-old women all over the place highly recommend we wouldn’t have seen anything like this without Nathan. It made you feel like you were in an aquarium, swimming in schools of fish, seeing sea snakes and holes where octopuses hide and a lot of beautiful fish. He made us feel safe.

Thank you for the fantastic review, David!
We are so glad Nathan could take great care of your group and lead you straight to those hidden ocean nooks and crannies. Guiding you right into the middle of those fish schools and showing you where the octopuses hide is what it’s all about! Nathan takes pride in making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and fully taken care of out on the water.
We truly appreciate the high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another aquarium-like adventure in Aruba!
My fiancée and friend and I did this excursion and it was so amazing!! Our guide made us feel so safe. None of us are strong swimmers but they provided us with pool noodles and snorkeling jackets. You don’t need to bring anything but yourself, sandals and bathing suit. They have all the gear! We saw so many turtles, a barracuda, and lots of fish. Amazing experience checked off my bucket list.

Thank you so much for the 1000/10 review!
We’re thrilled that you, your fiancée, and your friend had such a great time and felt safe throughout the tour. Helping guests check turtles, barracudas, and bucket-list memories off their lists—stress-free and fully equipped—is what we love to do!
We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you all in Aruba again soon!
My daughter and I did a private tour and Luis (Lucho) was an INCREDIBLE guide. He gave us an overview of Tres Trapi and explained what we could expect on the tour. I am barely a beginner swimmer and actually have a fear of deep water. Luis was so patient and made me comfortable enough to venture into the ocean, he gave me a noodle and had a buoy that I could hold on to. He checked on our energy and comfort level throughout the tour. He knew exactly where the turtles were and it was AMAZING!😃 We also saw so many different fish and a couple of large schools and an octopus. He loves and knows the ocean so well, his energy made the tour really cool. This was a bucket list experience for my daughter and I’m grateful I was able to do it with her, thanks to Luis; it was her favorite thing we did while in Aruba. If you are going to do a snorkeling tour, I absolutely recommend booking with this group!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such an incredible time on your private tour. Luis is truly passionate about the ocean, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He will be delighted to know he made such a positive impact on your trip.
Conquering a fear of deep water is no small feat, and we are so proud of you for venturing out to experience the beauty of Tres Trapi! Providing a safe, patient, and comfortable environment for swimmers of all confidence levels is always a top priority for us. Knowing that you got to swim alongside the turtles, spot an octopus, and create a core "bucket list" memory with your daughter is the best feedback we could ever ask for.
Thank you again for choosing us for your Aruba adventures. We hope to welcome you both back to the island again soon!
Louis was wonderful and kind travel guide. Nathan’s was just as kind. Go on this tour Louis will spot turtles.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are delighted to hear that Louis and Nathan took such wonderful, kind care of you during your tour at Tres Trapi.
Our guides take great pride in finding the best wildlife spots for our guests, so it's fantastic to know Louis hit the mark for you. We hope to see you on your next trip to the island!
I do not swim and was very nervous but Luis took such good care of me, only took me a few minutes to feel safe and I really enjoyed myself, so glad I did it!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Linda,
Taking that leap when you're nervous and don't swim takes so much courage, and we are so proud of you for going for it!
Luis will be over the moon to hear your kind words. Ensuring every guest feels completely safe, relaxed, and supported in the water is what he does best.
We're thrilled you had a fantastic time at Tres Trapi and got to experience the beauty of Aruba's marine life!
Such an amazing experience!! Nathan was fantastic and so knowledgeable! Highly recommend! Small group of just my husband and I with Nathan, and we got to see plenty of turtles, fish, and octopus! Provided with all the gear necessary, a must do!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Amanda,
Spotting an octopus alongside all those turtles makes for an unforgettable snorkel! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and high recommendation. Nathan is going to be so happy to know he helped make your time in Aruba so special.
Thanks for joining us, and we hope to swim with you two again soon!
Such a great experience! This is a must do when in Aruba. Our guide, Luis was great! He made it so fun! We saw so many turtles and got some great pictures. I would do it again 1000%!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Jamie,
"1000%" is the kind of score we love to see! Thank you for calling us a must-do in Aruba.
We're so glad Luis made the tour such a blast and helped you spot plenty of turtles (and capture great photos to prove it!). Capturing those memories is half the fun.
We'll be ready for visit #2 whenever you're back on the island!
This is amazing. Luis was a great guide and qe saw so many turtles. Highly recommend. I would do this every trip
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! Seeing a bunch of turtles is always a highlight, and we're delighted Luis made the trip so special for you.
We can't wait to welcome you back for round two on your next trip to Aruba!
This was such a fun experience! You don’t have to be a strong swimmer to do this. We saw turtles and our guide was really informative, easy to follow in the water and he made sure everyone was comfortable and safe! Highly recommend doing this when in Aruba!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for the review, Trudy! We're thrilled to hear you felt safe and comfortable in the water and got to spot the turtles. We'll pass your kind words along to our guide, and we hope to welcome you back for another fun swim next time you're in Aruba!
We had such an amazing time. We saw so many turtles and fish. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. The pictures and videos were great. I already have recommended this to friends visiting shortly after us. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. Our family (including an 11 year old and 2 teenagers) all loved it.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Jeannine! We're thrilled your whole family loved the tour and got to see so many turtles. Our guide will be delighted to hear your praise, and we can't wait to welcome the friends you recommended!
This excursion was so much more than we expected. Our small group was split in two and after an extremely thorough training and explanation and review of rules and safety signals, our family of three was given a private tour around the sea turtle feeding grounds. Our guide, Luis, was so wonderful - giving us each a very close look, while still being respectful of the turtles. They were so nice to call us a fan afterward and recognized us the next day when we showed up with our own equipment ( simply had to because it was so amazing) and gave us a hot tip about a reef just up the beach where we could see so many more fish while snorkeling! Then they gave us bus advice! Such nice people!!! Thank you so much! You truly made our trip to Aruba wonderful!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review, Heidi! We are over the moon to hear that your experience exceeded expectations and made your trip to Aruba so memorable.
Small-group safety and respectful marine life interactions are huge priorities for us, so we're thrilled Luis provided such an exceptional, personal tour. It was a absolute pleasure running into your family again the next day. We love seeing guests catch the snorkeling bug and head back out! We'll be sure to pass along your huge shout-out to Luis.
Thank you for being such wonderful guests, and we hope to see you back at Tres Trapi again soon!
This was fabulous! If anyone says they didn’t have floats is a LIE. They had several options for floats, super knowledgeable about the wild life, the different turtles we saw, and guided us through proper procedures or emergencies. Nathan guided us and took care of us the whole time, always checking in. It was the most splendid, lovely amazing time I had. I did not want to get out of that water! THIS IS A MUST!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the absolute glowing review! 🐢✨
We are beyond thrilled that you had such a splendid time and didn't want to leave the water! 🌊🤿 We’ll be sure to pass along your huge shoutout to Nathan—he’s incredible at keeping everyone safe, informed, and completely taken care of while sharing all that awesome wildlife knowledge. 🩵 (And thank you for setting the record straight on our floats! 😉🛟)
We appreciate the high recommendation more than you know. Hope to welcome you back into the Aruba waters again soon! 🇦🇼☀️
Amazing experience with Luis and (sorry forget hai name)! They were the best guides we’ve ever had. Saw at least 10 sea turtles! Highly recommend this tour when in Aruba.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the glowing review! 🐢✨

Thanks a ton for recommending us to fellow travelers visiting Aruba! We’d love to guide you on another adventure next time you're on the island! ☀️🌊
Our party of 7 had an amazing time! We saw so many turtles. The guides were professional & friendly & made sure our group was safe the entire time. Looking forward to seeing the pics! Thank you!

We had an incredible snorkeling experience with Lucho as our guide!! 10/10!!! I want to give Lucho an extra special and heart felt thank you for being patient with my family members who were nervous to be out in the open ocean. He was incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. We saw about a dozen sea turtles of all sizes. Absolutely worth it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible 10/10 review! We are so touched by your kind words about Lucho. Helping nervous swimmers feel safe, confident, and supported so they can fully enjoy the ocean is what he does best, and we’ll be sure to pass along your heartfelt thank you to him. It will mean the world to him! Seeing a dozen sea turtles together sounds like an unforgettable reward. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime!
My 77 yo mom and I, 51, loved this tour. We were the only ones on our outing with Nathan, who was an excellent guide. Mom tired and Nathan led her around by his line and she was able to hang on and snorkel without worry. He showed us spots that the other snorkelers seems to miss. He showed us an octopus and maybe 20 sea turtles. 2 came up for air within feet of us and we could have touched them, but did not to avoid giving the turtles human bacteria. But it was amazing and magical and Nathan was super attentive and helpful. This was the best for seeing turtles. The next day we did a Seabob tour and saw a couple of turtles but none came close because we made a racket with the engines.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much! We’re so glad Nathan took such great care of your mom so you both could relax and enjoy the water. Spotting 20 sea turtles and an octopus is a dream day, and we love that you had such a magical, close-up experience! Thank you for being so respectful of the wildlife, and we hope to welcome you both back again soon!
It was amazing !!! Our guide Luis was the best guide we have ever had. Very comfortable and saw 🐢!!!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much Lorinda! 🐢 So glad you were able to see turtles. We will surely tell Luis about this awesome review!

So fun!!! Great private tour. My daughter was afraid of the ocean and after the tour she was happy to go in! We got great pics and my non swimmer hubby also loved it!! Thank you, now we are a family that snorkles!!!!!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
WE LOVE THIS SO MUCH! 🎉 Welcome to the snorkeling life! 🥽🌊
Helping your daughter build her confidence in the ocean and seeing your husband have a great time too is the absolute best reward for our team. We are so happy your family had such a fun private tour and came away with great photos and memories to last a lifetime.
Thank you for swimming with us, we can't wait to welcome our newest group of snorkelers back again soon! 🐢📸
This was the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Nate was absolutely incredible! So patient and informative and incredibly nice! I’m so glad I chose a tour for this activity instead of trying to do it on our own. We saw so many turtles! They were beautiful! We saw beautiful fish and starfish. Nate was great with my eight year-old who is not a fantastic swimmer and he was even better with me who has a rough knee and had a hard time getting back up the steps. The steps are easy, but my knee is troublesome. Nate practically pulled me up like Superman! Louis was also fantastic! My youngest son did not want to go so he hung out back with Louis on a hammock “the Island way!“ Me and my other two sons had an amazing time and all agreed that it was the highlight of our trip and we would do it again and again and again and do any other tours that these wonderful people offer. Highly highly recommend! Thank you so much Nate and Louis for such an incredible day!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🐢❤️
We are over the moon to know this was the highlight of your trip! Nathan and Luis are going to be so happy when they read this. Nathan will definitely wear his "Superman" title with pride, and Luis loved giving your youngest the VIP hammock experience! 🌴
Knowing that your family felt so well cared for, especially with different swimming levels and knee troubles, means the world to us. It was a absolute pleasure hosting you all, and we can't wait to see you again for your next adventure! 🌊🥽
There's not much to say it's a great experience...guide was very helpful and made sure that you were safe and having fun

This was a great sea turtle snorkeling tour. Nathan and his team were fabulous. Loved the beach where we snorkeled and was so in awe of all the turtles we saw. Beautiful place, great tour guides and amazing sea turtles! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing snorkeling experience at Tres Trapi! Our instructor, Nathan, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient, making everyone feel comfortable and confident in the water. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience. We saw beautiful marine life and had an unforgettable time. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Nathan as your guide!

Wow, thank you for the glowing review! We're so glad you felt safe, comfortable, and had an amazing time exploring the marine life at Tres Trapi. Nathan will be thrilled to hear your shout-out. We hope to see you again next time you're looking to snorkel!
Most incredible experience ever. Small groups, no more than 82 guides per group safe, very friendly customer service. Excellent, very privileged to have been able to see everything they told us, we would . I am a non swimmer and I was safe. The entire time they provided and accommodated everything I needed.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Wow, thank you for the incredible review! We are so glad our guides and customer service team could make you feel safe, comfortable, and well-taken care of as a non-swimmer. Knowing you got to experience everything we promised means the world to us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! RJ-
It was just my hubby and I with Nathan as our tour guide. Nathan was fantastic. You do get your choice of flotation devices to help with snorkeling. You choose between a noodle or a vest. Nathan was so knowledgeable and excited to tell us all about the amazing turtles and fish we saw (and we saw a lot). If you are a strong swimmer, he will take you out to some special spots and show you such awesome fish. I highly recommend this tour. I will do it again every time I am in Aruba!!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you Jackie, so much for the high recommendation! We're thrilled you had such an amazing tour with Nathan and got to see so much of our beautiful local marine life. Nathan will be so happy to hear your feedback. We look forward to snorkeling with you again on your next trip to Aruba!
