Discover Aruba from the water on your own private boat. This guided snorkeling trip takes you along the island’s beautiful southern coast, where you can swim in clear turquoise waters, explore coral reefs, or just relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. You set the pace and choose the stops, whether it’s a quiet beach, a lively snorkeling reef, or a scenic cruise along the coast.
Step aboard our 22-foot speedboat, Life’s a Beach, featuring cushioned seating, extra shade, and a powerful 250HP Yamaha engine. Your trip includes a friendly local captain, snorkeling gear, life jackets, and unlimited drinks like water, soda, and homemade rum punch.

What To Expect
Once aboard your spacious and comfortable boat, you'll get a quick safety briefing, be offered your first drink, and then it’s time to set sail along Aruba’s beautiful coast! As the boat glides through the sparkling Caribbean waters, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Aruba’s shoreline, passing luxury resorts, coves, and iconic rock formations. The boat is yours for the duration—no crowds, no rush—just your group and the open sea. Your captain will anchor at the best snorkeling spots, such as: Boca Catalina – Calm waters and vibrant coral gardens Malmok Reef – A reef teeming with tropical fish Tres Trapi – A secluded cove with starfish and sea turtles We provide all the snorkeling gear you’ll need, and your captain can point out cool underwater sights and marine life. Swim, snorkel, or float and take it all in. Back on board, relax under the shade or soak up the sun with an ice-cold drink in hand. We offer an open bar with water, soft drinks, rum punch—and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks or snacks if you’d like.

5.00Great boat ride and stops for snorkeling. Saw turtles in one area and tons of beautiful fish in another reef area. Awesome!
Waited 75 minutes only to be a no show !

1.00Very inconsiderate company. They obviously over book, as they left us standing on the beach for 75 minutes waiting with no water as they were out with another family. They kept telling us just another 15 minutes...like 5 times. We ended up leaving afterv15 minutes as 2 of us had headaches already from dehydration. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND !!!!
Easy and Fun Snorkeling trip

5.00Chris was a wonderful captain. We enjoyed the boat and snorkeling. Booking was very easy and quick, it was a last minute addition to our trip so we were glad we were able to get it arranged. The water was a bit choppy but Chris handled it well.

5.00We booked a private snorkeling trip and this is a MUST DO! JR and his crew were great. It was the highlight of our vacation. We look forward to doing it again next time we are in Aruba.
Cancelled on us the day before the trip

1.00Booked this tour a few weeks before our trip. The day before the tour, they cancelled on us with no actual reason. We wrote back to them with our disappointment they offered an alternative tour operator that was more money and it could be paid via Zelle or cash app 🤨 Seemed like a scam. Beware.

5.00We had the most amazing experience on our first boat trip in Aruba! The crew took us snorkeling and gave us such an educational tour of Aruba’s beautiful marine life, from colorful fish to graceful turtles. They made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and truly cared for the entire time. Watching the sunset on the water was absolutely breathtaking, and their hospitality made the trip unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Aruba!

1.00When we booked this private trip on TripAdvisor it showed that there was availability at every hour from 9am to 5pm, so we chose an afternoon booking. The next morning we woke up to an email from the tour operator saying that they were completely booked for the full week so our tour was cancelled. They offered to refer us to another tour operator that charges about 50% more. We were disappointed because we were really looking forward to the private tour without a big group
Great Experience
