Overview

This is a two-hour private charter from Delphi Watersports Aruba, boarding at the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord. A driver and guide takes your group along the island's west and south coasts with stops for snorkeling. The route can include Eagle Beach from the water, the shallow reef at Boca Catalina Bay, the wreck of the Antilla, a German freighter from the Second World War, and the underwater caves along the Malmok fossil reef shoreline. Snorkeling gear is on board, along with water, soft drinks, music and a bimini-top sunroof for shade.

One reviewer described a captain who adjusted freely to what the party wanted, lingering where they liked and stopping where they asked. Another reviewer travelled with small children and reported a good time, with music and simple activities keeping the little ones entertained. The listing pitches the trip as a treat for you and your loved ones, which fits the private format well.

Hotel pickup and drop-off, towels and tips are not included, so plan to make your own way to the beach and bring your own towel. Confirmation arrives at the time of booking, and the departure point sits near public transportation.
