Antilla Shipwreck Seabob Tour
Beschrijving
Deze tour bevat alles wat je nodig hebt voor een spannend avontuur: ophalen en wegbrengen van je hotel, resort of dichtstbijzijnde strand, een 2,5-uur durende tour, drankjes, snorkelmasker, een Seabob F5 S-jet en verbluffende onderwaterlandschappen en het zeeleven , inclusief het spookachtige scheepswrak van Antilla. Er zijn drie dagelijkse rondleidingen beschikbaar om 8.30 uur, 12.30 uur en 15.45 uur. Met de SEABOB F5 S Jet kunt u uitgestrekte rifgebieden en het beroemde scheepswrak "Antillia" verkennen zonder moe te worden, en beslaat veel meer terrein dan een routinematige snorkeltrip. De rifgebieden wemelen van tropisch zeeleven, koraalgroei en uitstekend zicht. Het bekijken van de Red Cushion Starfish en snorkelen met de schildpadden van Aruba is een must-do.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ervaar het overvloedige onderwaterleven van Aruba als nooit tevoren met een SEABOB. Met deze nieuwste innovatie op het gebied van waterscooters kunt u soepel over meer rifgebieden glijden dan tijdens een gewone snorkeltrip. Onze professioneel opgeleide gidsen nemen je mee op een onvergetelijk zeeavontuur! Onze eerste stop is het scheepswrak "Antillia", bekend als een van de beste wrakken om te snorkelen in het Caribisch gebied. Na 80 jaar onder water blijft het intact en wemelt het van het zeeleven en de koraalgroei. Met spectaculair zicht zul je zien hoe dit historische schip tot leven komt met onderwaterleven.
Vervolgens snorkelen we boven Boca Catalina, een ondiep rif met een volledig scala aan fanfavorieten zoals maanvissen, vlindervissen, papegaaivissen, inktvis en octopus.
We vervolgen onze weg langs de kust en komen aan bij een kleine zandbaai, genesteld in de rotsachtige kalkstenen overhang die bekend staat als "Tres Trapi". Honderden rode kussenzeesterren lagen recht onder je op de witte zandzeebodem. Het hoogtepunt is het zwemmen met onze betoverende zeeschildpadden, terwijl ze Tres Trapi tot een van hun favoriete ontmoetingsplaatsen maken.
Je tour eindigt bij de Arashi Beach Shack, een favoriete strandhotspot waar iedereen altijd van geniet.

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!!!
