Incredible experience. Best snorkeling on the clearest of days. Guides were amazing. Equipment worked perfectly. Had a fantastic day seeing all kinds of fish and coral. Ask for for Martina and Quinten. Must do experience.

This was an amazing experience because of our guide, Vinnie. I'm not a strong snorkeler, even using the motorized device, but Vinnie made sure I had a wonderful experience. I got to see the shipwreck and lots of fishes and coral. Thank you for a great outing!

A superb excursion! Coco, our guide and instructor, was wonderful! Informative, friendly, encouraging, and photographic aly talented. Saw many coral types and fish species, including an octopus! Having a pictorial record of the day is unique and personally valuable! Only thing to be aware of is if you are connecting from a cruise ship, the taxi there is $35. Reasonable, but something to know. Highly recommend Scuba Bob!

Mark was an outstanding guide for our tour. He was informative and attentive to everyone in our group. With safety in mind, he made sure we were all comfortable with our equipment and the scooter. He showed us lots of beautiful fish, sea life, and a cool shipwreck too. We had so much fun snorkeling and cruising on our sea scooters. Mark helped to make this tour a highlight of our vacation in Aruba. Don’t miss this one. Fun for all ages!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best excursion we’ve ever done!

Erinie_K, Mar 2026

This was hands down the best excursion I have ever been on. The sea scooter scuba experience was so much fun, well-organized, and unforgettable from start to finish. Everything felt safe, easy, and exciting, and it was such a unique way to explore underwater. What really made this experience stand out was our guide — he was amazing and made the whole trip even better. He also took the most incredible pictures, and I was honestly blown away by how outstanding they turned out. Those photos are something we’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering booking this excursion, do it. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone!

Best snorkel adventure!

Terry_B, Mar 2026

Very personal attention to skill level of each person. This was my first time snorkeling so I was a little apprehensive. All equipment can be provided or they let us use our own and check it to make sure it worked. They fixed our masks so there would be no fogging up. They talked us thru each step before starting. Vinny was our guide and he was great!! Very chill and gave us a very personal experience. He took lots of pictures so we the memories to treasure. The best experience!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re so happy to hear you had such a great first snorkeling experience!

Most amazing adventure for the money.

Jamie_D, Mar 2026

Best guided snorkel this island has to offer! If your a beginner no problem this place treats you with so much care it's amazing. I was scared but Vinny had us well in hand made me feel safe doing something new to me. Taught me how to relax with the scooter and breath correct with the snorkel. I would give this place 1000 stars if able.

Don’t Miss This Snorkeling Tour

John_A, Mar 2026

We were included in a small group of six people. It was a windy day and the sea was a little rough. We had to swim a ways out to get to the reef. The scooters made it so easy to navigate the current. Our guides Coco and Vinnie took such great care of us. They made sure that everyone was comfortable with the scooters. They also took lots of photos and videos and sent us the link to a Dropbox folder with all of the photos and videos. FOR FREE! Who does that these days? Overall a great tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for the 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re so happy to hear you had a great experience, even with a bit of wind and current. You’re absolutely right—the scooters really make a big difference in those conditions and help keep the experience fun and easy. Coco and Vinnie will be thrilled to hear your kind words. They always make sure everyone feels comfortable and taken care of from start to finish. And yes—photos and videos included, always! 😄 We love making sure you leave with great memories to look back on. Thanks again for choosing us, and we hope to see you back for another adventure soon! 🌊🤿📸

Holly_H, Feb 2026

So much FUN! Vinnie was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable about the island, snorkeling, and diving. The current was very strong on the day of our excursion and he made sure we were comfortable continuing on and took very good care of us. I highly recommend! Thanks again Vinnie, Alan and Holly

Do This!!

It’s a “do not miss” snorkel experience! Seeing the deep side of the reef without fear (because you have a trusty and talented guide) is amazing. Life changing! My guide Vinny was super knowledgeable and helpful in every way.

Book now!

Garcia_G, Jan 2026

We did a last minute cruise for our anniversary. Most of the tours on the cruise were booked so we looked to Viator. We are SO happy we did. This experience was amazing. The staff was down to earth and the spot they took us to was perfect. Not overcrowded. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and patient as we are first time snorkelers and had to keep adjusting. Our son had a little "oh crap" moment when he realized how deep it was but the instructor was so patient and guided us. The photos were perfect and caught the whole experience. We would def come back and book this again and again.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And happy anniversary! 🥂 We’re so glad your last-minute cruise plans led you to us. It means a lot to hear that the experience exceeded expectations, especially as first-time snorkelers. Our team works hard to keep things relaxed, uncrowded, and comfortable for everyone. We’re so glad your son felt supported and guided through it. We’re also happy you loved the photos—there’s nothing better than capturing those real, in-the-moment memories. Thank you for choosing Aruba Bob Snorkel & Scuba to celebrate such a special trip. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back again and again! 🌊🤿📸

For every level or snorkeler!

Kinsie_P, Jan 2026

This was incredible. Quinten was awesome and the whole experience was so incredible. If you aren’t a strong swimmer or can’t really swim at all this is still a great activity. You’ll have a water scooter to do all the work for you!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review! 🌟 We’re so happy to hear you had such an incredible experience with Quinten! He’ll surely love hearing this! 🙌 The sea scooters really do make it easy, relaxed, and fun while still letting you explore so much of the underwater world. 🐠🌊 Thank you for choosing Aruba Bob Snorkel & Scuba and for recommending the experience and we hope to see you back in the water with us again soon! 💙

Best way to Snorkel!

Diane_L, Jan 2026

This was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Mark was excellent. He helped us all feel comfortable in the water with the equipment from the start. The scooter was surprisingly easy to handle. And the views we had were stunning. So much better to have the small group with the ocean to ourselves! No other boats/ groups of snorkeling around us. The Bob lets you go out much farther than the usual snorkel tour. My kids had fun diving down with it. We lots and lots of fish/ coral/ and a ship wreck. The underwater pictures are included in the package and are beautiful. We can’t wait to go back! May try scuba next time - definitely with Mark.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Helping everyone feel comfortable from the very start, especially with new equipment like the scooters, is exactly what he does best. We’re so glad you enjoyed the freedom of a small group and that the kids had a blast exploring! We’re also happy you loved the included underwater photos; they’re the perfect way to relive those memories. We can’t wait to welcome you back, and when you’re ready to try scuba, we’d love to have you diving with Mark again! 🌊🤿

Book THIS Company for Sea Scooters. Forget the others! This one is UNMATCHED!

Whitney_J, Sep 2025

Out of this WORLD experience! Louis was our guide and he was so incredibly helpful and encouraging—especially to me because I was afraid to do the sea scooter snorkeling experience but he definitely earned my trust and taught me how to do everything confidently. Once he taught me everything, we went out into the ocean and it was AMAZING! Every other snorkeling experience I’ve had has not allowed me to enjoy on this level. To take everything up an extra level, this experience was most affordable of all the similar experiences I saw advertised in Aruba AND the price came with photos included! I would definitely recommend to others and would definitely do it again!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Greetings! Thank you so much for the glowing 5-star review 🌟! We’re so happy Loui was able to make you feel safe, confident, and excited about trying the sea scooters 🙌. It’s awesome to hear this was your best snorkeling experience yet, and we’re glad you loved the photos and the personal touch that comes with our tours. Can’t wait to welcome you back for round two! 🌊🐠💙

Murphy_M, Sep 2025

If you want a snorkel trip that is more personal and less of a large group, this is for you! Our guide was amazing and grew up on the island. We highly recommend Scooter Bob and will definitely use them again on our next trip to Aruba!!

Quinten was absolutely...

Kristyn_G, Aug 2025

Quinten was absolutely fantastic!!! I booked this because I wanted a private experience and a tour as opposed to just random snorkeling on our own. This was my first time and Q made me feel so comfortable with the snorkel. He also took so many wonderful pictures that were sent by the next morning. The scooters made it easy to navigate out and see so much. He even knew there was a starfish under a rock that we saw!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi! Thanks a lot for the 5 stars 🌟 We’re so glad your very first snorkeling experience with Quinten turned out just the way you hoped for. He really has a knack for making people feel at ease in the water, and those scooters definitely add a whole new level of fun. Happy you got to spot that starfish too! Hope to see you back for another adventure soon 🤿🐠

This makes snorkeling so easy!

Kathy_C, Jun 2025

The sea scooter made snorkeling super easy! They were fun and we enjoyed ourselves. I really appreciated all the photos that they took but wish there had been more shots of the fish. The photos were mostly of the coral which were great but we just saw so many more fish than what the photos depic.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We're glad you had fun with the sea scooters! We appreciate the feedback on the photos, and we'll keep that in mind for next time to capture more of the amazing fish you saw. Hope to see you again in Aruba!
