My husband and I and our son (11 yo) had a great time snorkeling with Junior! He picked us up at our hotel, took us the dive center, then to the beach and back to our hotel. I enjoyed learning more about the culture of Aruba on our way from our hotel. We snorkeled for about 45 minutes to an hour. We saw some amazing coral and fish. Junior was a great instructor with a great personality. The water seemed pretty rough compared to other snorkeling excursions we have done, but Junior said the waters were very calm that day. I would not recommend this for those that are not strong swimmers or those who are easily motion sick.

Everything was great! We were picked up at our hotel by the tour guide and guided along the reefs looking at a lot of fish

Angela came to our hotel to pick us up from the Hotel Area. Once we arrived and signed all the waiver forms, she drove us to the beach to meet Junior who is our guide and instructor. After some short instructions, we were guided and swam out to the coral and eventually shipwreck, and Junior corrected our equipment usage and techniques along the way. I am a novice in this sport and have fear of open ocean. We were lucky to be in a small group. Junior was friendly and patience with my slowness. They have a ring buoy if and when it is needed. It was no doubt a workout for me. And it was overall a great fun and adventurous experience. We will do it again. Next time I will spend less time worrying about the ocean and more time looking for fishes.

This experience was not for a novice.
The current was strong and the waves were relentless .
My family previously owned a dive shop and I have snorkeled in Bermuda, the Cayman, St Thomas and Bahamas.
The conditions were not suitable for novice snorkeling.

Awesome afternoon with Junior. Picked me up right on time. Everything was very chill, had a really great tour of the reef and shipwreck. Definitely will do another snorkeling trip with them.

good activity. Simple fun. the location of the bay is a shirt distance from where the offices are. It is about a 40 minute session with one diver. Water was clear.

This was the worst. A hot mess. Picked us up in a beat up, dirty, filthy little van with no a.c. (It is sweltering humid) After a 30 minute drive, they took us to a ramshackle building in a shabby area of town where we had to wait another half hour for other “guests” not affiliated with our excursion. Then another 10 minute drive to the beach. Then my wife and the others ventured out to snorkel. Because the conditions were so rough, my wife had to turn back and tried to find me. The guide just left her behind. Then a drive back to the shack where we were left in this dirty van for at least 15 minutes with no a.c. Then another 40 minute drive back to town. This was deplorable and not even close to Viator's standards. We have videos to support our terrible experience. I am asking for a total refund on this excursion.

Junior was a great guide. He informed us which routes we were taking and checked on all members of group periodically. The experience was amazing. As a non-swimmer, I felt completely comfortable in the water and had a great time.

Extremely good tour, much nicer and cheaper than booking inside the ship, totally recommend. We had the tour for ourselves and the guide, personalized experience, really nice people. Would repeat if traveling again to Aruba.
