A perfect tour for a perfect island.

5.00One of the best experiences on my vacation. Philip was wonderful. He knows so much about the island and his love for what he does is obvious. He is funny and very kind. The tour had breathtaking views and gives you an up close look at the flora and fauna. I could have just sat in the kayak the whole day taking in the view. The kayaks are surprisingly sturdy for open kayaks. There were strong winds and decent waves, but I never once got close to turning over. You are definitely going to want a camera for this adventure. This tour is a must.

5.00Wonderful tour and entertaining! Philip deserves all of the praise for his ability to guide while cracking jokes and providing information about Aruba. He is chock full of facts and will answer all of your questions. The snorkeling on the reef was beautiful and you see many species of marine life living their life's just a few feet below. The kayaking was somewhat challenging on the way back in going against the current (just as a heads up) but well worth the scenery and history and Philip will get you through. Philip even brings a wet proof bag for your belongings. We could not recommend a better tour guide!

5.00It was an amazing experience with my partner, the monitor was great explaining everything that we were doing and seeing. Made us feel safe at all moments which made the experience that much more enjoyable. At the end we decided to do snorkel and he gave us the equipment and also we enjoyed watching amazing fish.
Great time

5.00Phillip was our guide and he is super knowledgeable and friendly. We are experienced kayakers but he still ensured we knew the basics! it was quite windy and wavy out so we didn't snorkle but we enjoyed the kayaking. He took us through Spanish Lagoon pointing out various things along the way. Would highly recommend!

5.00Great exploring tour. Visited a reef with a “snorkeling shack” on it. Phillip the tour guide was great - very patient and informative on the area and island overall!
Excellent tour!

5.00We had so much fun on this tour! First we kayaked out to a reef just off the mangel halto coast, and Philip guided us through a few areas. We saw tons of fish and had a great view of the coast. Then we got back in the kayaks and headed to the Spanish Lagoon. So cool to see the mangroves and learn about the area. The whole tour was about 2 hours. Philip is a great guide- very friendly and we learned a lot from him! He also shared great recommendations for other things to see and places to eat during our trip.
Incredible guide, incredible snorkeling, so fun

5.00By some stroke of luck I was able to do a private tour with Phillip. He went above and beyond, and also told me a lot about island life. On my trip to Aruba I snorkeled at Boca Catalina, the Antilles shipwreck, Baby Beach, and Mangel Halto with Phillip. Mangel was incredible. The corals are huge. Ask him to show you the shipwreck there. It’s eerie. Feel free to tell him your preferences. He also likes to hike, and is probably down to explore almost anywhere. I wouldn’t go to Spanish Lagoon. There’s a sea wall preventing you from kayaking up the interesting parts, and I don’t think it’s worth going over there. Mangel Halto is a charming beach with many areas to explore and relax in…bring everyone in your party regardless if they are kayaking and plan to spend the day there. Fantastic snorkeling and gorgeous mangrove beaches. It’s so lovely. Phillip is a wonderful guide and will take care of you, keep you safe, and tailor the trip to our physical abilities. Book with confidence!
Great kayaking experience
