This tour includes everything you need for a thrilling adventure: pickup and drop-off from your hotel, resort, or nearest beach, a 2.5-hour tour, beverages, snorkel mask, a Seabob F5 S jet, and stunning underwater landscapes and marine life, including the ghostly Antilla shipwreck. Three daily tours are available at 8:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 3:45 pm. The SEABOB F5 S Jet allows you to explore extensive reef areas and the famous "Antillia" shipwreck without getting tired, covering far more ground than a routine snorkel trip.

Itinerary
Experience Aruba's abundant marine life like never before with a SEABOB. This latest innovation in personal watercraft allows you to glide smoothly over more reef areas than a regular snorkel trip. Our professionally trained guides will take you on an unforgettable marine adventure! Our first stop is the "Antillia" shipwreck, known as one of the best wrecks to snorkel in the Caribbean. After 80 years underwater, it remains intact and teeming with marine life and coral growth. With spectacular visibility, you will witness this historic ship come alive with underwater life.
Next we will snorkel over Boca Catalina, a shallow reef with a full array of fan favorites like angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, squid and octopus.
Continuing along the coast, we arrive at a tiny sandy cove nestled in the rocky limestone overhang known as "Tres Trapi". Hundreds of red cushion starfish lay right under you on the white sand sea floor. The highlight will be getting to swim with our enchanting sea turtles as they make Tres Trapi one of their favorite hangouts.
Your tour ends at the Arashi Beach Shack, a favorite beach hot spot that everyone always enjoys.

Wow, such an amazing experience. This was my first time ever seabobbing. Me and my family had a lot of fun. Our guide was also very exceptional and multilingual. He also took our phone and recorded a video of a sea turtle because we could not dive that deep or at least we were afraid to lol. Really adventurous fun experience.
Such a great tour, highly recommend. Our guide made sure we got to see lots of things. I’d suggest you be comfortable with swimming/water, so you do go deep.
Let me start with how much fun these seabobs were!!!. I highly recommend anywhere you can rent seabobs to do so. The experience was amazing! I have a bit of mix feelings on the company that provided the tour. We did start the tour a bit rough because I had mentioned in the app that I was going to meet the tour at Arashi beach. However, I received a request from Viator to add a pickup location and that confused me, I was afraid they would cancel, if I didnt add a location as the messages kept on popping up even though I said Arashi Beach . Two days before I added the pickup location. However, when we got to the location no one was there, so I called just in case. They mentioned that they had already arranged that I would meet at Arashi beach. So I mentioned thats fine, we can drive there and will arrive just in time. We arrive at Arashi beach, we park and I message the host saying, we arrived. I receive no response after that. We waited for 25 minutes and no one has picked us up. I end up calling again and they tell me they are there. I looked to my right and the actual shack were the seabobs are and where the tour begins, its right there. We werent told anything just that we would be picked up. Not sure how we were supposed to know it was there. Because we were 25mts late while we were waiting, they were rushing us understandable even though not our fault, we also felt bad for the other couple waiting. Because of this I wasnt able to take any recording with my 360 camera, they did not allow me time to set it up and because or the rushing I was not able to record anything. Which I had taken my camera just for this experience. The guide was not personable, did not explain anything, he did not mention anything, where we were, where we were going, how much time we have, just to follow him. We learned how to use the seabob along the way by trial and error, because we were explained in 2 seconds how to use it. This aside, we saw so many fishes, the seabob was so much fun, they go pretty fast, we saw lots of turtles which I was so excited about, the shipwreck was really impressive. I recommend lots of sunscreen, we got burned as our backs were exposed when we are out the water. Have in mind this is not a snorkling tour as advertised you use a mask but no snorkel so you have to hold your breath. Overall, I still recommend as its a very unique fun experience!
Experience itself was great! Details and processes not so good. Originally filled out for pickup, when I called they said they could not pick our group up. When they called to move our tour start time 90 minutes late,said they would be picking us up? Confusing and poor custom experience. Had an agreed upon later time than originally scheduled but delayed an additional 45 minutes past the extended time. Ask to fill out waivers at the end after the tour was over . Seems a little too late at that point Paying for additional guests that were not included in original reservation was a struggle.
Great tour and a new experience. We saw a ray, turtles and explored the reefs and shipwreck. The seas were a bit rough out near the shipwreck but the Seabob was fun and easy to operate including diving down!
Amazing work experience. 100 percent would recommend. Machines are very easy to use and our guide Tony was fantastic. Got to see turtles and the shipwreck.
The machine is easy to use. The guide was over aware of boats and other obstacles for you so you only had to focus on having fun. The shipwreck was breathtaking. Everyone was super nice and helpful.
Best experience on the island. So much fun riding the sea bobs and having the opportunity to see the ship wreck up close. The guides were great! It definitely helps to be comfortable with swimming and snorkeling to enjoy the best of this tour.
Amazing tour! It was so fun!!!! Will go again when we return to Aruba. This is our second time. A great snorkel tour, but better! Do it! You won’t be sorry
Excellent experience, worth to take this trip in Aruba. I could see the sea turtles and shipwrecks that leading by the amazing seabob and professional coach. I would recommend visitors to have prepared their own life jackets as it is not provided by the tour, it is better for safety as the waves & currents are strong at the shipwrecks area.
