Overview

This three-hour catamaran trip from Segway Aruba runs a simple two-stop formula: a first stop where reviewers report sea turtles and fish, then a deeper site over a sunken ship. Travellers sail between the stops on deck, with music, an open bar of liquors, mixers, soft drinks, juices and bottled water, and a light lunch of fresh fruit, sliders and local pastries. Beer is not included, and alcohol is limited to guests 18 and over.

The meeting point is Hadicurari Fishermen's Pier, on the beach between the Marriott Surf Club and the Holiday Inn, where a representative holds a "Banana Adventure" sign. Check in 45 minutes before departure. The listing states private transportation is included, with pickup details provided at booking. Snorkel gear is provided, and the boat takes a maximum of 36 travellers.

The tone sits between relaxed and lively. Reviewers repeatedly praise the crew, the turtle encounters and the wreck itself; some mention music and flowing drinks, and a few describe a relaxed, family atmosphere. It suits swimmers who want two distinct snorkel stops in one trip without booking a private charter.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical details will shape the day, from check-in timing to how the two snorkel stops differ.

  • Getting there. Check in 45 minutes before the cruise begins, and watch for messages sent through the booking platform, since the listing says pickup details are provided at booking. Look for the representative holding the "Banana Adventure" sign at the pier.
  • Water conditions. The turtle stop is in calmer, shallower water, while the wreck sits in deeper, rougher seas. One reviewer who took seasickness medication beforehand was fine despite choppy conditions at the second stop, so anyone prone to seasickness should plan ahead.
  • Food and drink. Lunch is light: reviewers mention fruit skewers and small sliders. Drinks, including alcohol for guests 18 and over, flow through the trip, though beer is not included.
  • Group feel. The boat holds a maximum of 36 travellers. Reviews split on tone: some describe a relaxed, family atmosphere, others mention music and a party energy.
  • Kids and swimming. Two reviewers travelled with children and said the crew was kind and helpful with them. Infants must sit on laps, and the trip is not wheelchair accessible.
  • With kids aboard. The dive platform and rope swing keep younger travelers busy between snorkel stops.

Common issues. One reviewer reported never being collected at the pickup point despite a confirmed time. The wreck stop involves deeper, rougher water than the first site, and one reviewer found the marine life beyond turtles and the wreck itself sparse. Lunch portions are on the small side, and gratuities are not included.
