This tour includes everything you need for a thrilling adventure: pickup and drop-off from your hotel, resort, or nearest beach, a 2.5-hour tour, beverages, snorkel mask, a Seabob F5 S jet, and stunning underwater landscapes and marine life, including the ghostly Antilla shipwreck. Three daily tours are available at 8:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 3:45 pm.

The SEABOB F5 S Jet allows you to explore extensive reef areas and the famous "Antillia" shipwreck without getting tired, covering far more ground than a routine snorkel trip. The reef areas are teeming with tropical marine life, coral growth, and excellent visibility. Viewing the Red Cushion Starfish and snorkeling with Aruba's turtles is a must-do.

We decided to do something different so we tried the Seabob tour. We had a blast! It’s a great way to get around the ocean fast and so cool to be able to dive under the water with it. The guys were great. Thanks for a super fun time!

This was an excellent tour. We were picked up nearby the Terminal w/ zero issues, and driven out to Arashi Beach. The guide was talkative and friendly throughout the drive. Once we arrived, we basically dropped out stuff off in their building and headed out to the beach for the Seabob info. It was super easy to learn and use them, took like 2 minutes. It was really cool because you didn't need a lifejacket, just a mask. Once on the seabob, you head out to the shipwreck, and circle it a time or too (I imagine the guide will let you go longer if you want) and then head towards the shore where you can find sea turtles and other things. The views underwater were fantastic and we would recommend this over any snorkeling option, it was great.

Family of 5, ages 12-43, we had so much fun! Cody was wonderful at pointing out the turtles, sting rays, and other sea life. The shipwreck was a pretty cool thing to see. Definitely recommend!

It’s a fun excursion and the tour guide was super nice and informative. Be ready, it’s a decent amount of work if you do the ship wreck trip, also wear a rash guard or some sorta clothing to block out the sun, as no sun block will withstand the adventure. We are both a bit sun burned, our own fault as we thought we were ready, and we still would do it again.

This was an amazing time. Our guide was Benjamin and did a fantastic job. We approached this with some trepidation because we had never done something like this before, but he put our mind at ease and explained how easy it was. He wasn’t kidding, it was very easy and easy to learn very quickly. Even though you’re in very deep water, the sea Bob is a flotation device at all times so there is that extra sense of security.

Benjamin went out of his way to show us many things. We went to the reef first and saw our first turtles and stingrays. After that we headed to the shipwreck, which was very incredible.

The confusing part was the website wanted you to Choose a pick up location. We had a car so we wanted to show up at the tour location. There Was no option in the drop-down menu to allow you to report that you wanted to show up on site. Fortunately, we were able to call the company and they let us know to just show up at Arashi Beach shack. We did not realize that you walk out from the beach into the water.

Our guide explained to us that the only thing you needed to bring where your arms and legs. He wasn’t kidding. There’s no need to bring anything else. This was a great way to snorkel. I will definitely do it again.

What a great experience! One of the guides picked us up at our resort & took us to the beach where you launch. All of the guides were very friendly & knowledgeable. Alex was our guide who took us out in the water. He was very thorough training us in how to use the seabobs, making sure everyone on our tour stayed relatively close & alerting us to sea life close by. We saw several sea turtles, a ray, several sizes & varieties of fish & coral & even a starfish. Of course, we got to meet Doris the pelican. She even hitched a ride on a few of our seabobs! We were able to spend plenty of time at the shipwreck, which is just massive. You could really get up close & personal with the ship, if your ears & lungs can take the pressure. This was truly a wonderful tour that people of all ages can enjoy.

Overall we had a good time but we’re disappointed in how little time was spend at the wreck. You do a beach entry with your Seabob. It is a long way out to the wreck. A good 5-10m to get there. Unless you have good upper body/ arm strength , this can be tiring. The seabobs are easy to use one you get the hang of it. Pay attention when they explain use. They go through it quickly.

Timing. As I noted we spent only a couple minutes at the wreck. I believe this was bc a person in our group was panicking when we arrived at the wreck. We barely had a chance to dive down to take a look before we left. It was a bit rough water getting to it and your arms and pectoral muscle could be burning. She wanted to return to shore and kept insisting she could not do it. Bc only 1 guide was with us, that could not happen. I believe he brought us back in towards the shore and calmer waters bc of her. There was more coral and fish near the shore. Lovely but again shuttle through very quickly. In the shallows, nice to run the seabob 1-2ft below the surface, shorten up on it. Then it is easy to look at things and take pictures.

Notes: you are given a mask but no snorkle. They claim it is bc the get water in them. That could be true, but an experience snorkler or diver would be fine. And they would be helpful in the shallows. I think this is bc the company would have to sterilize between users. I noted the guide was wearing one. Bring towels and make sure to wear a shirt or use water proof sunscreen. Take an underwater camera. It will take some getting used to but you can take pictures.

Suggestions — offer a snorkle for experienced folks. Have a few near sighted mask for customers to use that wear glasses. Would make it nicer for them to see everything. Also get a tube of silicone grease for folks with mustache or beard so they can seal the mask better. A second guide to bring up the rear would be invaluable. Especially when a person in the group wants to return to shore.
