DePalm All Day Catamaran Snorkel - Amazing snorkel trip. Caesar and Crew were fun and engaging. The stars of the catamaran trip were the hundreds of fish (lots of schools that swim all around you), multiple green turtles, a stingray, an eel, Flying Gurnards, a Peacock Flounder who was expertly camouflaged on top of some rocks/corals, and the breathtaking Antilla Wreck. Highly recommend this tour. Boarding the catamaran is super easy as you get on via a dock and not in the ocean!

Girls Trip, April 2024 - This catamaran experience was the highlight of our Aruba girls getaway! Two of the three in our group had never snorkeled before, so this was a perfect way to try. Our hosts were professional, helpful and so much fun! I would book this again when visiting Aruba!

Amazing snorkel experience - Tour guides were amazing, always with a joke or a cool factoid. The locations we stopped were great, we saw loads of fish, coral, sea turtles and a ship wreck. The lunch was amazing, thanks to the private chef. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We will return.

You won’t regret it! - This catamaran trip was fantastic! We visited 3 separate snorkeling sites. Saw the Antilles shipwreck, lots of fish and a couple of turtles. The crew was AMAZING!!! Cesar is THE best. Drinks were flowing and delicious from open bar. Snacks were mini sandwiches on a roll with ham/cheese/lettuce or just cheese/lettuce and fruit skewers at beginning of the trip. Lunch was served at noon after final snorkel opportunity. Lunch was lettuce salad, cucumber and tomato salad, rice with chicken or fish. Everything was delicious! We were not expecting such an elaborate meal on the boat. Cesar and crew also went out of their way to ensure a friend with a leg injury was able to navigate the shipwreck site where the water was deeper and a little choppier. Sailing across the beautiful blue water and watching various water activities happening all around was a treat. A bargain for sure!

Book it Already!! - Such a wonderful experience! The captain and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Traveling alone, the security of my belongings and personal safety were never called into question. Good vibes, good food, calm & clear waters, and great drinks and music were aplenty! Stop thinking about it! Book this excursion!!

Beloved - De Palm Tours sells two dive tours and we chose the 3 dive one. Air Canada travelers were entitled to a 10% discount. The first dive was to the wreck of the SS Antilla. It was good to see while snorkeling, but I think it would have been better while diving. The 2nd dive was near the coast between Arashi Beach and Boca Catalina. We didn't see many fish because we didn't get close enough to the shore. We still saw a turtle walking around at the bottom of the water then coming up to breathe. The 3rd dive was in front of Malmok Beach. There weren't a lot of fish but there were some very beautiful ones. The walk was all-inclusive. When we arrived, there was something to eat lightly. There was a bar open from the start (we were made to sign a waiver that we would not dive under the influence of alcohol?). Dinner was included and it was very good.

Make sure the engine works. - The boat had to turn around due to engine trouble. It was our last day so we could not reschedule. Had to stand on a long line when we got back to dock for refund.
