This was a unique experience to seabob to a shipwreck. my wife and I enjoyed it a lot. We saw so many different types of fish and turtles. The shipwreck was a site to behold. A definite must when in the area.
Went in not knowing what to expect other than fun. Didn't know what a Seabob was. After seei g the experience on YouTube we gt psyched. Exceeded our expectations.
It was a great experience. Spent the entire time in the water. Saw lots of turtles and a ton of different fish. The shipwreck is something to see. The guide was great
If you can’t swim please only do the reef tour. The shipwreck is very advanced and you will be struggling. Amazing experience. The tour guide Alex was very helpful and we stopped to look at every little thing.
The excursion was a blast. We would stop at each location to explore a bit. Then we were off to another spot. Alex was great with getting fish to come closer to us. He also took some photos for me as well. I just wished we could've stayed at each location longer, I did feel a bit rushed. Viator does list the excursion as two and a half hours long. When it was over and we got out to look at our phones, It had actually been an hour and a half. Would I still recommend it, yes!
Great tour. Definitely being comfortable snorkeling in advance was helpful. The tour starts from shore and you are on the SeaBob the whole time. We saw a lot of tropical fish & turtles as we snorkeled from beach to beach and then out to the ship wreck. The ship wreck was amazing!!! We loved the tour.
We snorkeled the same beaches and it was way more fun with the Sea Bob. Highly recommend, especially if you want to coast with the turtles!
The Seabobs were so easy to use. We saw so many fish, turtles, a ship wreck, and mini cave with crabs. It was a great experience. Highly recommend.
The SEABOB tour was so much fun! We saw tons of fish, turtles, a manta ray, and even explored the shipwreck. I also had a pelican catch a ride with me, which made the experience even more memorable! It was definitely a workout, but completely worth it. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend it!
So much fun! Rychard and crew were great. After a 5 minute lesson we were all powering through the waves and getting to see a lot of beautiful marine life. Not only did we see fish, but we also got to see turtles in their natural environment. We had a guide within earshot at all times. And it was so cool to see our guides dive down and power through the shipwreck, coming out on the other side. All in all, great tour.
Our group of four (two adults and two older teenagers) recently booked this Seabob tour, primarily to visit the shipwreck. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations.
Upon arrival, we received minimal instruction on proper Seabob operation and body positioning. As a result, the initial portion of the tour was physically strenuous, leaving our arms quite sore. Once we adjusted our positioning on our own, using the Seabobs became effortless for the remainder of the time. However, after noticing our initial fatigue, the guide decided the swim to the shipwreck would be too difficult and truncated our excursion to just one hour, offering no alternative options. Because other local snorkeling tours to the wreck were fully booked, we missed seeing it altogether.
Had I known the tour length could be reduced by half without a partial refund or alternative accommodations, I would not have paid full price. Looking through other reviews, it seems cutting tours short due to individual group members' initial difficulty is a recurring pattern.
Takeaway: The Seabobs themselves are a lot of fun, and if you are comfortable paying full price for a potentially shortened experience, you may still enjoy it. However, if seeing the shipwreck is a priority or you want guaranteed value for the full scheduled time, I recommend exploring other options.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your Seabob tour did not meet your expectations, particularly as visiting the shipwreck was a key reason for booking the experience.
Our goal is always to ensure guests receive clear guidance and feel prepared before heading out on the tour. We appreciate your comments regarding body positioning and will review our briefing process with our team to help prevent similar experiences in the future.
Regarding the decision to shorten the excursion, our guides are required to make safety-based judgments based on conditions and the comfort level they observe among participants. While these decisions are made with guests' wellbeing in mind, we understand your disappointment in missing the shipwreck and in not receiving the full experience you anticipated when making your booking.
We value your feedback and take concerns like yours seriously. Your comments have been shared with our management team as we continuously evaluate how we communicate tour expectations and deliver the best possible experience for our guests.
Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention.
Book it. The sea bobs are fun. It makes for effortless snorkeling with only a mask. Feeding the fish was amazing. The ship wreck was a site to see. Our guide was attentive, knowledgeable and kept us safe. Tour started on time. Wear an spf shirt and sunscreen. The provided masks worked great.
What a great way to explore the undersea treasures—it’ll be hard to go back to regular snorkeling! The Seabob was easy to operate and the tour guides emphasize safety and took extra care of participants that needed more help. The only downside was that the sea was very choppy the day we went, so we spent less time at the shipwreck. We were expecting a longer tour, but we only spent maybe 1.5 hours in the water. That said, it was time well spent. Definitely recommend giving this a try!
Great experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. Next time in aruba will book seabobs again.1❤️❤️❤️
My mom and I (77 and 51) did this tour on Wednesday. It was very fun, it felt like riding a motorcycle at 50 mph in the water. Super easy to learn and they stop immediately when you let go of the gas. We were in a group of 15-20 people and were initially worried about running into others but it turns out that nothing really happens when you do. No propellers to cut anyone although I would imagine 2 Seabobs aimed at each other going 50 mph would cause harm. Our group just nudged and bumped each other at times. Our elbows were bruised from banging into the Seabob as we flew through the water but we didn’t notice pain during the event. Long hair made it hard for the mask to adhere entirely so the mask would fog up some but I would take it off and start again. Alex was our guide and he had a close relationship with a pelican that joined us for the tour to eat fish fed from Alex. Very cool and athletic.
The instructors provided clear and precise instructions on how to safely operate the machines. Although your arms can become tired after prolonged use, the experience is well worth it. The instructors guided us to areas with an abundance of marine life, where I was fortunate enough to observe three sea turtles.
It seemed a little scary at first, BUT IT WAS SO FUN. If you get sea sick or car sick you might want to prepare with Dramamine (motion sick over the counter medication). You should be a good swimmer and not afraid of the ocean. We saw plenty of fish, crabs and even the pelicans was hanging out with us. Our guides were very friendly and attentive to everyone. I can't wait to come back with the whole family. Only problem we couldn't take pictures, that would have made it extra special.
Unfortunately, I had a shoulder injury that prevented me from going on this excursion. However, my Husband and a friend of ours loved it!
This was so much fun. To our surprise this tour did not involve a boat like I thought it did. Instead it left right from the beach, which makes sense since we are using the Seabobs. Gosh those were fun! Two adults and three teens and everyone loved it, Your tour guide takes you from one beach to another using the season. You are out pretty far to do this but my family was not scared. Sharks are actually rare in the swimming beaches of Aruba and our guide said when he sees a shark he isn’t working there any more (he was joking but it made us feel better for sure). The trip out to the shipwreck was a little scary for me because it was much farther out than the other smaller beaches. We saw SEVERAL sea turtles and cool fish. All 5 of us would do this again. It was not 2.5 hours though as stated (I guess they factor in pickup and drop off if you need it). It was about 1.5 hrs. That honestly is enough since you are in the water the entire time. DO sunblock your back and butt or any areas that will be sticking out of the ocean on your back side. I didn’t get a bad sunburn my entire trip and then I did on this day. Book this excursion!
We had such a fun time on our Seabob tour!! There was a person with a medical issue on our trip out and our group had to come back a bit early. The guides made it right by allowing us to come back the next day and they took us out to the reefs again for over an hour!! Well worth the money! Great guides and an absolutely memorable activity for our whole family aged 11-50. Highly recommend!!
Wow, such an amazing experience. This was my first time ever seabobbing. Me and my family had a lot of fun. Our guide was also very exceptional and multilingual. He also took our phone and recorded a video of a sea turtle because we could not dive that deep or at least we were afraid to lol. Really adventurous fun experience.
Such a great tour, highly recommend. Our guide made sure we got to see lots of things. I’d suggest you be comfortable with swimming/water, so you do go deep.
Let me start with how much fun these seabobs were!!!. I highly recommend anywhere you can rent seabobs to do so. The experience was amazing! I have a bit of mix feelings on the company that provided the tour.
We did start the tour a bit rough because I had mentioned in the app that I was going to meet the tour at Arashi beach. However, I received a request from Viator to add a pickup location and that confused me, I was afraid they would cancel, if I didnt add a location as the messages kept on popping up even though I said Arashi Beach . Two days before I added the pickup location. However, when we got to the location no one was there, so I called just in case. They mentioned that they had already arranged that I would meet at Arashi beach. So I mentioned thats fine, we can drive there and will arrive just in time. We arrive at Arashi beach, we park and I message the host saying, we arrived. I receive no response after that. We waited for 25 minutes and no one has picked us up. I end up calling again and they tell me they are there.
I looked to my right and the actual shack were the seabobs are and where the tour begins, its right there. We werent told anything just that we would be picked up. Not sure how we were supposed to know it was there.
Because we were 25mts late while we were waiting, they were rushing us understandable even though not our fault, we also felt bad for the other couple waiting.
Because of this I wasnt able to take any recording with my 360 camera, they did not allow me time to set it up and because or the rushing I was not able to record anything. Which I had taken my camera just for this experience.
The guide was not personable, did not explain anything, he did not mention anything, where we were, where we were going, how much time we have, just to follow him.
We learned how to use the seabob along the way by trial and error, because we were explained in 2 seconds how to use it.
This aside, we saw so many fishes, the seabob was so much fun, they go pretty fast, we saw lots of turtles which I was so excited about, the shipwreck was really impressive.
I recommend lots of sunscreen, we got burned as our backs were exposed when we are out the water. Have in mind this is not a snorkling tour as advertised you use a mask but no snorkel so you have to hold your breath.
Overall, I still recommend as its a very unique fun experience!
Great tour and a new experience. We saw a ray, turtles and explored the reefs and shipwreck. The seas were a bit rough out near the shipwreck but the Seabob was fun and easy to operate including diving down!
Amazing work experience. 100 percent would recommend. Machines are very easy to use and our guide Tony was fantastic. Got to see turtles and the shipwreck.
The machine is easy to use. The guide was over aware of boats and other obstacles for you so you only had to focus on having fun. The shipwreck was breathtaking. Everyone was super nice and helpful.
Best experience on the island. So much fun riding the sea bobs and having the opportunity to see the ship wreck up close. The guides were great! It definitely helps to be comfortable with swimming and snorkeling to enjoy the best of this tour.
Amazing tour! It was so fun!!!! Will go again when we return to Aruba. This is our second time. A great snorkel tour, but better! Do it! You won’t be sorry
Excellent experience, worth to take this trip in Aruba. I could see the sea turtles and shipwrecks that leading by the amazing seabob and professional coach. I would recommend visitors to have prepared their own life jackets as it is not provided by the tour, it is better for safety as the waves & currents are strong at the shipwrecks area.
This was an amazing experience!!! Highly recommend even if you can't swim, which was a worry for me. The guide was attentive and made sure the group was together. He took us out far we were able to see schools of fish, sea turtles and shipwreck. It's was amazing and I would definitely do it again.
