Iconic Aruba Sail and Snorkel Experience

Great sailing excursion with family.

If I could give six stars, I would! While I will admit to having a limited number of excursions in my personal history based on five cruises, this was far and away the best excursion experience I’ve ever had. It was fun from the beginning and with exceptional snorkeling, a very good lunch provided and an open bar to those that enjoyed it, there’s literally nothing I would change. I even found myself wanting to participate in some of the dance music during the short return trip. It was toooo good! Pelican Adventures and in particular the Pelican Two and crew of Ruben, Jacky, Ivan and Mario were all great!!!

My wife and I had an amazing time in Aruba for our honeymoon! It was our first time visiting the island, and when we arrived, we were honestly a little overwhelmed by the amount of activities and experiences Aruba has to offer. There was so much we wanted to see and do, but we weren’t sure where to start. One day, we decided to visit the Palm Beach area, and that’s when we came across Luis Yarzagaray at his little information hut by the beach at the Playa Linda Resort. Luis took the time to sit down with us, listen to what we were interested in, and ask us what we wanted to see and experience during our time in Aruba. Based on our wants, needs, and the things we wanted to see on the island, Luis created an itinerary list of activities that he recommended. With his help, we were able to tailor the itinerary to exactly what we were looking for, and it made our honeymoon experience so much easier and more enjoyable. The first activity on our list was snorkeling, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! Luis recommendations helped us experience Aruba without feeling overwhelmed by all the different options. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Aruba, especially first-time travelers, stop by Luis’s information hut at the Playa Linda Resort. If you’re not sure what activities to do or how to plan your time on the island, Luis is the person to talk to. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Thank you, Luis, for helping make our first trip to Aruba such a memorable one! We had an amazing experience and will definitely be looking for Luis again when we make our second trip to Aruba!

This was a quick and fun adventure - a great way to cool off. The crew - Carlos, Jay, Jayden and Isaac - were super friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone was using the equipment (life jackets, fins, snorkels) properly. We did the afternoon trip, which included two stops. The first was in calmer waters, and we were able to see lots of fish. The second stop, at the Antilla, was in rougher waters. It was hard for me to navigate, but others were more adventurous and stayed in the water longer. Strong swimmers will have a better chance of exploring at the second stop. I still had a great time back on the boat waiting for the others to return. There is an open bar (bring cash for tips!) and great music. In addition, they offer tasty snacks.

Great Snorkel trip. Fun times for all involved!! The West Virginia crew was lit!!

Such a great experience! Captain marcos and his crew were amazing!

It was so much fun our boy Joshua and the rest of the crew did an amazing job making everything carefree and interactive and fun would recommend worth every cent so beautiful fish and an awesome shipwreck

Unique experience. We saw the Caribbean fish and the sinking ship from World War II. There's snacks and drinks.

The guides were so fun and really made it a full experience! The snorkeling was enjoyable and felt comfortable/safe, even being our first time.

Beginning with a sail and then having two separate stops for snorkeling made this a great tour. We saw so many more fish than we thought we would! The snacks and drinks during the tour were awesome, and the crew, led by Sam, were a lot of fun!
