It was a little stressful finding the check in. BUT ONCE WE DID FIVE STARS!!!!! They explained everything in detail and were very thorough . Luis was our guide, he was very sweet. My daughter and I saw at least 8 different turtles even a baby!!!! I highly recommend this tour! We made lots of memories today.

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!

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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
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!
Linda_K, Jul 2026
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-
Jackie_C, Jul 2026
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!
sabra_g, Jun 2026
This is an absolute dream come true excursion!!! Louis took us right out to where the turtles are and we had at least 4 swim to the surface around us not to mention all of the beautiful fish. I am not the strongest swimmer but it was very easy to snorkel with a noodle that they provided. I will never forget this day and hope to repeat it again soon!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Wow, what an absolute joy it was to read this! We are thrilled that your excursion felt like a dream come true. Luis is an expert at finding our flippered friends, and he was so happy to hear he could help you feel safe and comfortable in the water with that pool noodle. Creating unforgettable days like yours is exactly why we do what we do. We can’t wait to welcome you back for round two soon! 🐢✨
Ashley_N, Jun 2026
Best part of our vacation. Saw many turtles and got up close to see them surface for air and then back to the bottom to eat. Our guide made sure we had a great experience and made sure we all felt safe and had fun!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much Ashley, for this great review! That is why we do it. We are so happy to hear that this was the best part of your vacation! We hope to see you back soon in Aruba.
Karen_M, Jun 2026
Very fun! The group was just my daughter and myself with our own guide, like a private tour! We saw several turtles and felt very safe out in the water with our guide. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much Karen for this wonderful review. We try to keep the tours as small as possible so you can have a better experience!
Jessica_I, Jun 2026
This was a bucket list experience for us and I believe we chose the best guides to fulfill that bucket list experience for us! We had never been snorkeling before and they were so good at making us completely comfortable in the water. These guys are extremely knowledgeable about the beach history and the marine life. We saw several other marine lives aside from turtles that they were quick to point out and give us information about them, and the turtles…. We saw several and it was a dream come true to be so close to them and watch them in their natural habitat. They are just as miraculous in person as on a screen! We took our own GoPros and got some amazing footage, but for a small fee the guide will also take pictures for you which I’m glad we did to get an alternate perspective captured for our memories. Over all I would 100/10 recommend this tour for anyone seeking a turtle experience of a lifetime!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Wow, thank you Jessica, so much for this incredible 100/10 review! We are absolutely thrilled that we could help you cross this off your bucket list. Seeing sea turtles in their natural habitat is always magical, but hearing that it was a dream come true for you makes what we do so rewarding. You both did fantastic for your first time snorkeling! We’re glad you enjoyed the history, the extra marine life spottings. We hope those memories (and GoPro shots!) last a lifetime. Thank you for choosing us!
Beverly_S, Jun 2026
It was an amazing experience. My husband and I do not know how to swim and they made us feel very comfortable and safe. They went all the way down to show us different types of fish, sting ray octopus etc. they gave some historical background on tres Trapi beach. Definitely a must ! I believe the name of our guy was Nathaniel.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
We are incredibly happy to hear that you and your husband felt safe and comfortable with us. Not knowing how to swim can make jumping into the ocean a bit intimidating, but our team always makes sure everyone feels secure and looked after.
Nathan is going to be so happy to hear your shoutout! He loves sharing the history of Tres Trapi and diving down to point out our underwater friends.
We would absolutely love to welcome you both back for another amazing experience the next time you visit Aruba!
sherry_P, Jun 2026
You swim from the shore out to the middle of the ocean. The water is very deep. The guides were excellent and were very helpful.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Christina_G, Jun 2026

Absolutely amazing! Kind, patient and knowledgeable, our guide Luis was exceptional. I am so glad we didn’t try to do it alone! We saw so many turtles, and they knew exactly where to go to find them. Thank you guys!!!

Michelle_B, Jun 2026
Nathan was amazing and so was the experience!!! Worth the every penny! My husband and I saw many sea turtles. Nathan pointed out many different sea life as well. Would definitely book again.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hey michelle thank you for taking the time to leave review for nathan and the experience , see you next time
Tori_M, Jun 2026
This was a wonderful experience! It was my husband, myself and our 12 and 14 year old daughters. We saw about 10 turtles while we were out with our guide. They were able to provide pool noodles for the girls so that they were able to snorkel out far enough to see the turtles without getting tired.
They make sure that everyone understands to give the turtles their space, not to touch or chase the turtles, which I feel is important for the safety of these beautiful creatures.
I would recommend this guided tour 100% Incredible experience
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hey tori thank you so much for taking the time and to share your experience with coraloceanaruba , so you next time for another snorkel tour.

Jordan_S, Jun 2026
Overall, an amazing experience! Nathan and Louis were great guides! Started with a great safety briefing and made us feel very comfortable as it was our first snorkeling experience and we had our 7 year old son with us. We ended up seeing a ton of fish, and octopus, starfish and many sea turtles! My son was only about 6 feet away from one of them and had a great time! Nathan was awesome and made us feel very safe and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for families and would do it again if we ever visit Aruba again!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Nathan was our guide and he was fantastic. He took exceptional care of me and my family throughout the entire experience. His knowledge of the area and marine life was impressive, and he was incredibly patient, friendly, and attentive to everyone in our group. He made us feel safe, comfortable, and ensured we had an unforgettable time. I would highly recommend him and I gladly give him five stars!

Danielle_S, May 2026
Wear comfortable shoes, not flip flops and when given the chance, even for a strong swimmer, take the pool noodle.. you will be glad you did! Can’t go wrong with either guide… GREAT TIME
Response from Host, May 2026
Hello danielle how are you ? Thank you for taking the time to leave a review , yes for the one that has sensitive feet can use water shoes , but remember we use fins to go snorkeling , walking down the beach can be a little rocky , So good piont bye danielle , but if you are ok walking for 2 min down the Tres Trapi steps you will be ok , also like danielle says if you are not strong swimmer we have NOODLES AND SNORKELING VEST AVAIALABLE .
Elliott_P, May 2026
Super fun got to see lots of turtles our tour guides were great and so much fun. Let us ask tons of questions and helped us with everything and we always felt comfortable!

hello Elliot , thank you for this review and for taking the time to leave review for the team
Matt_I, May 2026
We felt like RJ and his crew were the perfect coral patch crusaders to float the coastline with, snorkeling near a variety of turtle species and finding other marine surprises in the crystal clear turquoise waters. It was hot, and you'll take a lot of direct sun, particularly on your back as you float and peer down, so lotion up (which is why the experience begins under a neat old Fofoti tree throwing shade on the parking area near Tres Trapi Beach).
Parking is free, but first come, first serve, and it's a popular area even aside from planned beach adventures. Not many pictures to show as this is certainly an attraction where you leave your phone in the car. The waterproof sleeves aren't worth the hassle; they'll distract you from the true beauty of seeing things with your own eyes, might present some comfort or safety issues and really wouldn't capture clear enough photos to make it worth it.
Snorkel, mask, flippers and local know-how all provided. The guys are fun, patient and very aware of who needs a little extra guidance and support, or possibly a break. We visited last July and snorkeled with a group of about 12, including our seven, so it felt personal and not crowded, even around everyday visitors to the beach.

Amanda_P, May 2026
Loved Tres Trapi Beach - easy to walk into the water. Our family liked this better than getting on/off a boat. Water was so clear! Our guide Nathan was super helpful getting us our gear and showing us the correct way to snorkel. Always checked in on us, took great pictures and made sure we saw all the turtles and fish. Compared to other snorkeling trips we have done, we all agreed this was the best!
Response from Host, May 2026
Hey amanda thank you so much for taking the time to write a positive review like this about nathan and also our company , we are very excites and will show nathan this review , see you next time for another tour , meybe we can do the octopus tour.
