This was the perfect experience for us. The boat was comfortable, crew was attentive and did all they could to ensure we had a good time. The water was kind of rough and one of the crew did not even hesitate to dive in and make sure my wife was comfortable and had a chance to see a turtle, which she did.
The food was great, and the Rum Punch was even better. I could have drank those all day.
Overall a fantastic experience if you are looking for something more relaxed and not a “Party” atmosphere.
Highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing snorkeling experience! The service was fantastic from start to finish, and we had such a great time. Seeing the sea turtles up close was definitely the highlight! 🐢🌊 We left so happy and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Aruba!
Having been to the island 5 times, we were looking for something new to do. Although it was still snorkeling, it was on a new boat. The boat was very relaxing and with the lounge seats. This was the first time we were able to hang out with turtle and watch them eat for 45 mins!!! Wonderful customer service and an all around great activity!
It was great! The crew was kind & fun! We had champagne, rum punch (yum) and great snacks! The two stops for snorkeling were fantastic! We saw lots of turtles and fish. They have stairs to get into the water which was so much easier than a ladder. I highly recommend this trip!!!
Wow. We loved every moment of this fun little excursion. The boat was perfect to explore a few scenic places and the staff was amazing. Ensured we had a wonderful and relaxing time and we highly recommend this!
My husband and I love the Blue Meloday and crew! We've been on this trip twice - Feb 2024 and May 2025. The boat is clean; and each passenger has a padded lounge chair to pick from. Crew is friendly, professional, funny, and provides great service. Drinks are flowing and plenty of food throughout the trip. Sandwiches, fruit, empanadas and their epic grilled cheese. Snorkel equipment is clean and they provide float belts if you need. Will do this again! Highly recommend!
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is probably the best excursion my husband and I have ever taken. The comfy lounge chairs on the boat, the friendly staff, the amazing snorkeling and delicious snacks were all 10/10. I’ve never been surrounded by so many fish while snorkeling! It was so peaceful on the Black Pearl, we never wanted to leave. The only downside was I wish I could have stayed another 3 hours. Book this one!
Pleasant staff offering delicious food and drinks (except flat soda). Snorkeling equipment provided; uneventful underwater morning snorkeling areas, so go for the beautiful glide upon the water, food and drinks.
This is an absolute must-do! We had an amazing time. We loved the small group. It was very relaxing. The snorkeling was wonderful. The food was great-especially the grilled cheese. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We would do this a second time if we were staying longer.
This was an amazing cruise. Small number of guests. Staff to guest ratio was 1 to 1. Unlimited drinks, great food and Friendly staff. Great snorkeling spots and a wonderful laid back feel.
Such a great experience for chill vibes. Had a great time snorkeling in very shallow and easy areas. Had delicious food and beverages and got to see a turtle enjoying a siesta

It was an amazing excursion. Relaxing, comfortable and so much fun! We stopped at 2 locations to snorkel and saw lots of fish! An abundance of provided drinks and food were great too!! The only snorkeling outing with such a small group of people - which was key. This is a must do!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Glad to hear you had a nice time.
Thank you.
We had this excursion scheduled for the day after we arrived in Aruba. It was the perfect beginning to our first visit to this happy little island.
Captain John and crew professionally cruised us to first of two snorkeling spots. Along the way we enjoyed champagne and were offered apple turnovers and more champagne 🥳 on our floor chaise loungers.
We did not receive instructions on snorkeling, but we’ve done it before and didn’t need help, just the equipment, which was clean and in good condition. We saw lots of fish and had a good swim at the first spot, then we went on to the next site and swam with sea turtles and more fish. I got stung by some sea moss, but the crew was ready with some vinegar straight away to take away the sting. All good.
We were offered more food (with vegetarian options for people like us👍)and more drink. We were never rushed and I felt supported the whole time.
It was a relaxing, well organized and well run excursion that I highly recommend for any adventurous newcomers to Aruba. Don’t forget your sunscreen and camera/go pro. 😃
Staff was professional and amazing friendly. The food was surprisingly good. No need to eat breakfast before you go on this morning cruise would highly recommend.
Our favorite excursion on this trip to Aruba. I recommend choosing small group events and this one took the prize.
The staff is friendly and delivered above expectations. We met another couple who had been on this trip before and keep coming back. That says it all.
Very relaxing trip with a good balance of snorkeling and socializing. The food and drink are very generous and the grilled cheese at the end is the best!
No regrets.

So so so easy. Courteous staff. Yummy food. Beautiful peaceful trip.
I’m not a strong swimmer but the places they took us were easy snorkel spots with lots of fish. Would recommend for those wanting a peaceful, elegant snorkel experience.

I was hesitant to book this, but I'm so glad I did. It was a great experience - we loved that it wasn't many people (20 max), comfortable seating, drinks were flowing, food was great. Very relaxing and also exciting snorkel experience!

Thank you for your review... we hope to see you the next time you are in Aruba....
A great snorkeling cruise! They provide lots of drinks and food. All the crew members were very nice and helpful! Even though it rained during my tour the crew made sure we still got our snorkeling time and we went to other places instead! I would definitely recommend!

The relaxed, comfortable catamaran cruise was very enjoyable, as was the delicious lunch! Snorkeling was a fun activity after many years! A great way to enjoy Aruba from the water. The crew was friendly and attentive . . Will definitely recomment this trip!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Hello Jane,, We are so happy you enjoyed yourself... as customer service is a top priority... Thank you for the review we really appreciate it... Have a great Summer...
It was nice, but we paid way too much for something that we could have gotten cheaper. We walked down the board walk and they charged $80 adults and $65 kids for seafood and snorkeling. We paid $100ish each for kids and adults for sandwiches and snorkeling, they also said they don’t play any music.
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Glad to hear you had a nice trip.
The cost is related to the fact we only take a smaller group vs others that will take large crowds. The same thing with music, we almost always have people sail with us who want to get away from everything.
Best regards
Albert
This trip is relaxing, fun and super comfortable. It was probably the best tour experiencewe had during our stay. We preferred the the more private style then one of the large catamarans. The bonus was the food. All of it was delicious. Would highly recommend.
Response from Host, May 2021
Thank you for taking the time to post. Glad to have you.
Amazing experience, I've been on multiple catamaran excursions and none of them came close to how amazing this one was! We basically had the boat to ourselves, 2 bartender/servers that served our every want or need, fee amazing food throughout the trip and the drinks were always flowing. The capitan was very knowledgeable about the island and sea. We saw many sea turtles and tons of fish. Wouldn't go on any other excursion after this one! I only wish it was longer! Thank you!
Response from Host, May 2021
Glad to hear you had a good time, we love what we do, that may help.
I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who hates cramped, loud tours. They treat you like royalty. Very comfy seats and wonderful snorkeling spots. I will do this one again next time for sure. The owners took us out and are incredible. Don’t eat too much before the grilled cheese is served. It is to die for!!
