Randolph was really great as a guide for us. He was extremely helpful refreshing our memories on how to put on fins and masks etc. He had great ideas for other things to do and some restaurants to visit - he was our intro to the happy island and gave clear easy to follow directions .

This was an awesome experience! We were a group of 10, ages 5-75 and everyone got to experience something special. We hit 2 snorkel spots, one for fish & the other was for sea turtles. Our captain Randolph captured some amazing shots of us together! The boat ride was awesome, and very one enjoyed it

This was such a worth while trip! The whole experience was great! We seen crazy amounts of fish, sea turtles, a ship wreck, and a joy rode to see sights from the ocean! From ages 9 to 59, everyone had so much fun! The captain was so kind, helpful, and made sure we all had a good time and were well taken care of! From getting on, to stepping off the boat it was an incredible experience!

This is the boat you want!

Susanna_N, Feb 2026
Private is the way to go! They will cater to whatever you are looking for. We said “lots of fish” and “turtles” and they totally delivered. And you feel super posh in your own boat.

Must do! Great snorkeling and fully customized and private !

Kaitlyn_B, Feb 2026
Randolph was incredible. He took my phone and got amazing shots of turtles on the ocean floor. He was patient , kind and very friendly. We felt so comfortable with him and would absolutely book again as well recommend him !!

Book it! You won't regret it!

Excellent day

kathleen_E, Jan 2026
Randolph is very nice. He'll take you where you want to go. We snorkeled near the beautiful beaches and saw alot of fish. Then onto the Antilla sunken ship - fantastic experience because alot of the 400' wreck is near the surface with beautiful coral growing on it. Then we snorkeled with the turtles, what a treat. We were dropped off at a nice beach for lunch but had our choice and could have been dropped near the ship. Also, it was super that we were picked up right outside the cruise port. Thank you for an excellent day.

Amazing boat and snorkeling experience

Tim_H, Dec 2025
Randolph was an amazing tour captain, and the trip was fantastic. We went with our family, ages ranging from young adult to older grandma. We were able to see a lot of beautiful sights, including a bay full of fishes, turtles, and the shipwreck. Randolph was great with everybody, especially our grandmother as he pointed out turtles and attracted fish so she could see all the sights, and helped her with ladder on and off the boat. The snorkeling was great, and the water was full of fish and sights. I couldn't recommend this tour more, one of the absolute favorites our family has been on.

Good

Faisal_K, Dec 2025
It was good, kids enjoyed it, swim with turtles and fishes. 2 hours also enough time. I enjoyed the boat when it was fast.

10 out of 10 definitely recommend

Kim_L, Dec 2025
Randolph was amazing. Very knowledgeable we got to explore the island, our trip was tailored to our needs. I really feel like I got to see the island of Aruba. What a phenomenal experience.

Fantastic snorkel trip

Samantha_o, Dec 2025
Amazing private snorkel trip! We are a group of 2 couples and had the best time! Turtles, shipwreck and so many gorgeous fish with Randolph. He was a fantastic guide and captain. Highly recommend!! The gear was great too no leaks in my mask, kick ass boat with ice cold drinks and enough shade too. Amazing day! Thank you Randolph

Love private tours!!

JODI_B, Oct 2025
Excellent excursion! Randolph made sure we seen turtles and lots of beautiful fish. Definitely worth it to do private trip.

Great Day in Aruba

Brian_R, Jul 2025
Absolutely one of the highlights of our cruise. He took us 3 places to swim with beautiful tropical fish, turtles, and to see a shipwreck. My two grandkids (6 and 9) loved it and the guide was great with them. Even let my grandson fish with a throwout line and caught some fish. He also went out of his way to show us many of the beautiful sights along Aruba's coast. I am an expereinced cruiser, and this was perhaps the best excursion ever.

Aruba Family Boat Ride

Lori_M, Jun 2025
We had a great time with Randolph. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. We got to go snorkeling with amazing looking fish, swim with the turtles and see the shipwreck. We had teenagers with us and everyone had a blast. We would definitely do it again.

A Good Time!

Jeffrey_S, May 2025
Fun had by all. We were picked up outside the cruise port and met the boat a short drive away. Randolph toured us along the coastline pointed out many things along the way. We were able to see some sea turtles as well. We were able to snorkel with an abundance of fish and then relocated in an area to swim. He concluded the day with a cruise along the coast back past our cruise ship and dropped us at the dock near the shopping district. Overall good time!

Best private boat trip in Aruba!!!

Fun, fun,fun! A must do...

Antonio_M, Apr 2025
Fun, fun,fun! A must do for sure. Randolph was our captain and he was great. A true local with experience and knowledge of the area.

Right in the fish and turtles

Tracey_M, Apr 2025
Great time. Randolph put us in an area without a bunch of other snorkels and on the fish and turtles. It was a great time and he was very helpful

Randolph was a fantastic...

Logan_Y, Mar 2025
Randolph was a fantastic guide and a joy to be around. He was extremely knowledgeable, on time, friendly, and made everything super easy even with 3 kids. We did 3 locations, we arrived before the other large groups even had a chance to get there and saw more fish with less traffic. The ability to tailor your tour to your own needs can't be beat. I'll recommend everyone I know that is coming down to use Randolph for all of their snorkeling needs.

Private Snorkelling & Boat Tour

Laura_M, Mar 2025
Captain Randall made sure we had a fantastic snorkelling experience in each of 3 different areas. He pointed out the different beaches, provided some history of Aruba, and the culture. Randall was professional, helpful with equipment, great with kids and adults and boat safety conscious.

Cancelled by operator with little notice
