Luis and Nathan were great guides. Small groups which was great so you get more attention with any help you may need and it makes the experience more personalized. It was our first time snorkeling and we weren’t sure how it would go. Easy and quick to learn how to use the equipment. Luis was our personal guide and he constantly checked in on us throughout and noticed we were quick learners and even challenged us to try diving deeper to get closer views.
Experience was amazing. Both guides were excellent! The tour was around an hour long, and we got to see around 10-15 turtles, some of them within a couple feet or so. We also got to see a stingray as well as a spotted eagle ray! Both guides are super knowledgeable on the area and on the animals.
Nathan gave an amazing snorkel experience. Felt very safe. Both guides were so kind and knowledgable. We booked a 2nd tour.
We went for our honeymoon. We had Luis as our guide and he was so wonderful! We felt so safe and comfortable with him. He explained everything and showed us so much cool marine life, we had beautiful perfect visibility during the 10:00 slot. We loved seeing cinnamon and learning more about the turtles, we probably saw at least 10-15 turtles. Highly recommend to anyone. We are novice snorkelers and had no trouble with the gear. Loved our experience so much.
Went out this morning on our tour with Nathan. he was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had the best time and saw at least 10 turtles, and octopus, and a starfish. Memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend!
Had the most incredible time snoreling with my daughter. We seen so many turtles! We also seen a manta ray and some other beautiful marine life. Luis our guide, was amazing! So friendly and knowledgable. He even helped us get a ride back to the hotel. This was definitely my favorite day in Aruba.
A great experience with Nathan. He took us where we wouldn’t have been. He didn’t just give us the equipment and say go snorkel. He took us to awesome little nooks and crannies in the Ocean and towed us three 50 year-old women all over the place highly recommend we wouldn’t have seen anything like this without Nathan. It made you feel like you were in an aquarium, swimming in schools of fish, seeing sea snakes and holes where octopuses hide and a lot of beautiful fish. He made us feel safe.
Thank you for the fantastic review, David! We are so glad Nathan could take great care of your group and lead you straight to those hidden ocean nooks and crannies. Guiding you right into the middle of those fish schools and showing you where the octopuses hide is what it’s all about! Nathan takes pride in making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and fully taken care of out on the water. We truly appreciate the high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another aquarium-like adventure in Aruba!
Luis does an awesome job of making sure you see some sea turtles up close. He takes you out past the ropes where it’s not crowded at all & always seems to spot a lot of turtles. We got a ton of video on the GoPro of turtles coming up to the surface with inches of us. If you want to see some turtles get with Luis for this snorkeling excursion. Just a couple steps to go down & you’re in the ocean
My fiancée and friend and I did this excursion and it was so amazing!! Our guide made us feel so safe. None of us are strong swimmers but they provided us with pool noodles and snorkeling jackets. You don’t need to bring anything but yourself, sandals and bathing suit. They have all the gear! We saw so many turtles, a barracuda, and lots of fish. Amazing experience checked off my bucket list.
Thank you so much for the 1000/10 review! We’re thrilled that you, your fiancée, and your friend had such a great time and felt safe throughout the tour. Helping guests check turtles, barracudas, and bucket-list memories off their lists—stress-free and fully equipped—is what we love to do! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you all in Aruba again soon!
My daughter and I did a private tour and Luis (Lucho) was an INCREDIBLE guide. He gave us an overview of Tres Trapi and explained what we could expect on the tour. I am barely a beginner swimmer and actually have a fear of deep water. Luis was so patient and made me comfortable enough to venture into the ocean, he gave me a noodle and had a buoy that I could hold on to. He checked on our energy and comfort level throughout the tour. He knew exactly where the turtles were and it was AMAZING!😃 We also saw so many different fish and a couple of large schools and an octopus. He loves and knows the ocean so well, his energy made the tour really cool. This was a bucket list experience for my daughter and I’m grateful I was able to do it with her, thanks to Luis; it was her favorite thing we did while in Aruba. If you are going to do a snorkeling tour, I absolutely recommend booking with this group!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had such an incredible time on your private tour. Luis is truly passionate about the ocean, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He will be delighted to know he made such a positive impact on your trip. Conquering a fear of deep water is no small feat, and we are so proud of you for venturing out to experience the beauty of Tres Trapi! Providing a safe, patient, and comfortable environment for swimmers of all confidence levels is always a top priority for us. Knowing that you got to swim alongside the turtles, spot an octopus, and create a core "bucket list" memory with your daughter is the best feedback we could ever ask for. Thank you again for choosing us for your Aruba adventures. We hope to welcome you both back to the island again soon!
