This was out first activity in Aruba and it didn't disappoint. We arrived 30 min early and got a pass for boat 1 or 2. Boat 1 took a dinghy out to the boat and 2 came up on the beach with a ramp for baby strollers or those that need assistance. We cruised out to the snorkel/swimming hole. We brought our own snorkel gear and swam. Others used thr slide, rope swing, or swam. Then we got drinks and light snacks, meat cheese, wraps on the way back. We had great music to dance to and made new friends. Great way to kick off any trip to Aruba

Myron and Nahim are the best tour guides ever! It was so much fun to do the trip with both of them. They are super funny, helpful and always there for a joke. The tour itself was amazing and very interesting. Beautiful nature and the driving over partly big rocks was really fun. If you'll ever be to Aruba, definitely do that trip!

Great tour. Leroy, our guide, was amazing. He provided a lot of cool information about the island. For people with low mobility: be aware the access to the natural pool is not friendly. There are around 100 stairs to get there. It was quite difficult for my mother to get through them.

Johnathan was a wonderful tour guide! He was courageous, funny and professional. We felt very safe and appreciated his knowledge of the Island. The jeep was comfortable and clean! Highly recommend Johnathan and this excursion company! Thank You!!

It was a great mix of driving and site seeing. Stopping at the water cave was great. They had plenty of bottled water to drink. The guys were great.
