Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Découvrez la vie marine abondante d'Aruba comme jamais auparavant avec un SEABOB. Cette dernière innovation en matière de motomarine vous permet de glisser en douceur sur plus de zones de récif qu'une excursion de plongée en apnée régulière. Nos guides formés professionnellement vous emmèneront dans une aventure marine inoubliable ! Notre premier arrêt est l'épave « Antillia », connue comme l'une des meilleures épaves pour faire de la plongée avec tuba dans les Caraïbes. Après 80 ans sous l’eau, il reste intact et regorge de vie marine et de coraux. Avec une visibilité spectaculaire, vous verrez ce navire historique prendre vie avec la vie sous-marine.
Ensuite, nous ferons de la plongée avec tuba sur Boca Catalina, un récif peu profond abritant une gamme complète d'espèces préférées des fans, comme le poisson-ange, le poisson-papillon, le poisson-perroquet, le calmar et le poulpe.
En continuant le long de la côte, nous arrivons à une petite crique de sable nichée dans le surplomb rocheux calcaire connu sous le nom de "Tres Trapi". Des centaines d’étoiles de mer coussin rouges se trouvent juste sous vous sur le fond marin de sable blanc. Le point culminant sera de nager avec nos charmantes tortues de mer qui font de Tres Trapi l'un de leurs lieux de prédilection.
Votre visite se termine à l'Arashi Beach Shack, un lieu de plage préféré que tout le monde apprécie toujours.

So much fun! Rychard and crew were great. After a 5 minute lesson we were all powering through the waves and getting to see a lot of beautiful marine life. Not only did we see fish, but we also got to see turtles in their natural environment. We had a guide within earshot at all times. And it was so cool to see our guides dive down and power through the shipwreck, coming out on the other side. All in all, great tour.
Our group of four (two adults and two older teenagers) recently booked this Seabob tour, primarily to visit the shipwreck. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, we received minimal instruction on proper Seabob operation and body positioning. As a result, the initial portion of the tour was physically strenuous, leaving our arms quite sore. Once we adjusted our positioning on our own, using the Seabobs became effortless for the remainder of the time. However, after noticing our initial fatigue, the guide decided the swim to the shipwreck would be too difficult and truncated our excursion to just one hour, offering no alternative options. Because other local snorkeling tours to the wreck were fully booked, we missed seeing it altogether. Had I known the tour length could be reduced by half without a partial refund or alternative accommodations, I would not have paid full price. Looking through other reviews, it seems cutting tours short due to individual group members' initial difficulty is a recurring pattern. Takeaway: The Seabobs themselves are a lot of fun, and if you are comfortable paying full price for a potentially shortened experience, you may still enjoy it. However, if seeing the shipwreck is a priority or you want guaranteed value for the full scheduled time, I recommend exploring other options.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your Seabob tour did not meet your expectations, particularly as visiting the shipwreck was a key reason for booking the experience. Our goal is always to ensure guests receive clear guidance and feel prepared before heading out on the tour. We appreciate your comments regarding body positioning and will review our briefing process with our team to help prevent similar experiences in the future. Regarding the decision to shorten the excursion, our guides are required to make safety-based judgments based on conditions and the comfort level they observe among participants. While these decisions are made with guests' wellbeing in mind, we understand your disappointment in missing the shipwreck and in not receiving the full experience you anticipated when making your booking. We value your feedback and take concerns like yours seriously. Your comments have been shared with our management team as we continuously evaluate how we communicate tour expectations and deliver the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention.
Book it. The sea bobs are fun. It makes for effortless snorkeling with only a mask. Feeding the fish was amazing. The ship wreck was a site to see. Our guide was attentive, knowledgeable and kept us safe. Tour started on time. Wear an spf shirt and sunscreen. The provided masks worked great.
What a great way to explore the undersea treasures—it’ll be hard to go back to regular snorkeling! The Seabob was easy to operate and the tour guides emphasize safety and took extra care of participants that needed more help. The only downside was that the sea was very choppy the day we went, so we spent less time at the shipwreck. We were expecting a longer tour, but we only spent maybe 1.5 hours in the water. That said, it was time well spent. Definitely recommend giving this a try!
Great experience. Staff very friendly and helpful. Next time in aruba will book seabobs again.1❤️❤️❤️
My mom and I (77 and 51) did this tour on Wednesday. It was very fun, it felt like riding a motorcycle at 50 mph in the water. Super easy to learn and they stop immediately when you let go of the gas. We were in a group of 15-20 people and were initially worried about running into others but it turns out that nothing really happens when you do. No propellers to cut anyone although I would imagine 2 Seabobs aimed at each other going 50 mph would cause harm. Our group just nudged and bumped each other at times. Our elbows were bruised from banging into the Seabob as we flew through the water but we didn’t notice pain during the event. Long hair made it hard for the mask to adhere entirely so the mask would fog up some but I would take it off and start again. Alex was our guide and he had a close relationship with a pelican that joined us for the tour to eat fish fed from Alex. Very cool and athletic.
Really a great experience! Friendly helpful people, and beautiful things seen: lots of fish, coral, turtles, a ray and a huge shipwreck.
This was a truly amazing experience! I loved it so much that I went twice. The staff is experienced, friendly, and super attentive to everyone. The price was great for what you got on this little ocean adventure. It will be first on my to-do list when I return to Aruba.
Once in a lifetime and highlit of our trip to Aruba. Pick up at hotel and our group were the only guests. It was a little scary at first but once you get a hang of it, it's an exciting experience. Wear a secure swimsuit.
We had an amazing time on the sea bob. Alex was our guide and he went above and beyond to make it so fun. He fed the pelicans so they were riding with us on the scooters. The ship wreck was massive and we even saw turtles. It was such a good time. Thank you Alex!!!
