5.00These guides are the most professional snorkeling tour operators i have ever been with over many years of snorkeling. They are knowledgable about the areas they take you and really safety conscious. I was with a group of about 10 for the tome we spent on the Mangel Halto reef and then Alex took me solo the the "lazy river" run at Baby beach. Goimg out with them will be a highlight of your time in Aruba
The individual attention was amazing. I’m not a strong swimmer. They helped me to the reef I got the ultimate experience

1.00Where do I start? We had a family of 5 and two more ladies were added to our snorkeling tour to Mangel Halto & Baby Beach. It's a walk in entrance to snorkel - you have to swim past the surf to get out to the reef and shipwreck. Looking back no one should have gone in the water that day. When we arrived - the surf was strong - I asked the guide - Juan - if it was going to be too rough where we were going. He said that it would be much calmer on the reef. All of us struggled to get past the surf. The waves were intense and as the tide went out - it became harder and harder to swim. Even the fish we were watching were getting swept to and fro by the currents. Juan had one orange life ring. My husband and the two other ladies started to have difficulty. Juan pulled the two ladies to shore. My husband ended up inhaling so much sea water that he needed an ambulance ride to the hospital and breathing treatments. If the surf is high - you really can't snorkel. That's something I suspected - and the guide should have known.
Worth it

5.00Not gonna lie, twas a little sketched out with the lack of reviews on here and on google , but I booked anyways cause I really wanted to go to baby beach. Glad I booked because it was the best personalized experience ever! Carlos picked us up at the hotel right on time in his car. It was just three of us. The shack where all the snorkeling equipment was, in the back of some neighborhood but everyone was really friendly and welcoming. We swam in Halto and that drop off was amazing! Thousands of beautiful fish and coral. After he took us to the Aruba painted sign and we took pics of all the beautiful murals. Baby Beach was equally as beautiful but I do wish we had spent more time there and swam in the channel but we saw four turtles and Carlos grabbed our GoPro and dived to get better shots for us. Water and cookies provided as a light snack. He took us to the "End of the Island" after and saw some interesting huts, cliffs, the red anchor, prison and a pet cemetery which i thought was so cool. Definitly need to eat before you go or bring a sammich. Overall amazing and would do it again! Please support this small business!
Excellent experience!

5.00Carlos is an exceptionally kind and thoughtful guide. My wife is afraid of the sea, and he helped gently guide her into the water. I was once a strong, confident swimmer but I'm 76 and swim rarely now. Carlos assisted me and created a wonderful, memorable snorkeling experience. (written by Anna's husband, Fritz)
Great tour thank you Junior!

5.00Junior is the man!, very friendly and knowledgeable. We weren’t experienced he helped every step of the way. The pickup and drop off was great. This was a private snorkel tour and the highlight was Mangel Halto with amazing colorful coral and fish. Highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing! So...
