5.00Awesome experience with the family. They took us to several locations to snorkel and swim. One of the locations had us snorkeling with sea turtles which was a highlight for us. The crew was amazing and engaging and the lunch was delicious!

5.00This was a great excursion on SO MANY levels, and the very activity that once booked, got the kids hooked, line and sinker, on this summer getaway. We waited until our last full day on the island to pack this adventure in, and it did not disappoint. This is a straight party on the water; we had a group of eight with us, kids ranging from 8 to 17, and even with a packed boat (two mini-schooner trips over from the main pier) there was enough time and space for everyone to get comfortable with their own personal adventure level. You could walk the plank, jump from the nets or swing from the galley ropes. The crew provided snorkels, masks and fins for floating, and the drinks were flowing. They dropped anchor in two or three different spots over the three hour tour and as loud as the music was, the crew was that much more fun and accommodating. The food was above average and hit extra hard once you finally got out of the water and dried off - a little sun-soaked, a little waterlogged, a little liquored up. This iconic Aruban experience is unforgettable; the kids will mention it for years and anyone with One Happy Island experience usually leads with “did you do the Pirate Cruise?” once you return to reality…and our answer can always be a Hell Yeah!
Great Day at sea!!!!!
