5.00We did the 1 hour tour which is plenty of time. We saw 8-10 turtles. Our guide Masha, was terrific. She kept checking on us to make sure we were ok & she knew where to find the turtles. We would find the turtles eating at the bottom, then wait several minutes for them to swim up to the surface only feet away. We also saw an eel & a star fish, which we saw in our video.
Unforgettable experience!

5.00My fiancé and I booked a guided snorkeling session with Aruba Addicts May 2026. We lucked out and had Jonathan as our personal guide; he was super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He orchestrated a beautiful experience for us—truly unforgettable. As a first time snorkeler, I felt completely safe, and he took us to an area we would not have ventured on our own. We saw so much amazing marine life, including several grazing sea turtles! One of the most special touches was the personalized video he created for us. It captured our experience perfectly and is something we will always have and are able to share with friends. Jonathan and Aruba Addicts went above and beyond to accommodate us. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and memorable snorkeling adventure in Aruba! Thank you Jonathan :) Maeve and Phil

5.00It was amazing! It’s a few steps to the water and then swimming out with a noodle to go see the turtles. You can’t swim out as far by yourself without a guide/dive flag. We saw at least 10 turtles. Our guide Marjolein was great she has a very relaxed energy. High quality Cressi gear and loved the videos she sent us. Highly recommend!
Great time!

5.00What an amazing experience! We have done the Aruba boat snorkeling excursions a few times and wanted to try something different this trip. We are SO glad we did!! This tour was the perfect amount of time. We got to see so many turtles and fish. Our guide, Jonathan, was awesome and took the time to gather clips of every fish we saw so we can relive the experience over and over again. He was very knowledgeable and really cares about the ocean. Thank you again, Jonathan!!
10/10 Highly Recommend!!

5.00I absolutely loved everything about my snorkeling tour with Jonathan! I was running behind, and he waited for me—which I really appreciated. Not saying you should be late because you should definitely respect his time, but I admired his patience and understanding. From the moment I arrived, he immediately started cracking jokes and brought such great energy to the experience right from the start. Once we got in the water, we saw some very big, old turtles—he guessed they were around 60–80 years old. I loved it! When they came up for air, I tried to swim next to them, but I’m a slow swimmer lol, so I really only got close to one. Even from above, though, just looking down at them was such a cool experience. Not only did we see turtles, but I also swam with a school of fish and saw a butterfly fish spreading its pretty blue fins, along with so many other beautiful sea creatures. It honestly felt like I was starring in Finding Nemo lol. I really enjoyed every second of it. He made me feel very comfortable as a solo traveler and stayed with me the entire time since I was by myself. He also provided a pool noodle and a life vest, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about my beginner level swim skills or sinking. We were out there for about 40 minutes, and I’ll be honest—I was exhausted! Probably because I partied hard the night before lol, but definitely come prepared with some stamina. Jonathan actually wanted to keep going to show me even more, but I didn’t have it in me. Even then, when I was too tired to swim back, he literally pulled me along with his float so I didn’t have to do anything. After the tour, my personal driver was late picking me up. Jonathan still stayed with me as long as he could—about 15 minutes after we finished—which was very kind and appreciated. During the entirety, he answered all 100 of my questions lol. I also got to learn about his other business, Aruba Goodies, and his 3D printing hobby on the side. He even left me with a souvenir that I’ll cherish forever! It wasn’t included in the tour, I just caught him on a lucky day where he had something extra to give, which made it even more special. He sent over the videos afterward, and they were perfect. The compilation video was such a nice touch. On top of everything, he even stopped to help a random lady get footage of the sea life on her GoPro, which was so thoughtful. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. Why are you still reading this? Go get your mermaid/merman on lol!

5.00My husband, daughter and I had a fantastic experience spotting sea turtles with our guide Marjolein. She did a great job explaining the process and making sure everyone was comfortable with their gear and in the water. She had such a nice, easy-going vibe and we enjoyed our time with her. The videos she captured of the turtles and other sea life are beautiful! Not something we would’ve captured on our own. This experience was definitely a vacation highlight!
