Itinerary
One of the biggest best preserved ship wrecks dating back to WW II the German freighter "Antilla" is one of the most spectacular snorkel locations on the island. Over 400 ft long and just below the surface you will see it's huge steel hull covered with sponges and surrounded by all kinds of marine life. A must do for the snorkeling fans.
Arashi beach located just in front of the California Light house at Aruba's West Point is very popular with the locals and tourists. In front of it you will find a very beautiful reef with large Elkhorn coral formations. It is possible to snorkel here but only when the sea is very calm.
The reef at Malmok includes the shallow Boca Catalina Bay and the under water caves along the shore line that is build up out of ancient fossil reef has a total different type of marine life to offer to the snorkel fans. It is also perfect for cruising along it's scenic shore line. this certainly should form a part of your private boat ride.

We had a great trip snorkeling. We saw sea turtles, plenty of tropical fish, and a German shipwreck. Our guide, Que, was very accommodating, he was friendly and knowledgeable about the island history and landmarks. He made sure to get us close enough to see the flamingos and watch the planes land directly overhead (very cool). We would book this trip again if/when we revisit the island.
Gino took us to three different snorkeling spots. Saw several turtles, a very large shipwreck, and some nice corals with fish. He also took us to sit right under the planes landing at the airport, which was an experience. Last he dropped us off at the Krous, which was very helpful.
Nice sunset boat cruise with good music and light drinks & apps. The punch was ok and the best part was sitting on the front of the boat!
Hi Amber, Thank you for sharing your review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed our sunset cruise, the music, and the relaxing atmosphere onboard. Sitting at the front of the boat is definitely a favorite spot for many guests to take in the beautiful Aruba views and sunset! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing evening on the water soon.
I’ve booked with them three different times on my trips to Aruba, and they’ve been consistently great every single time. The snorkeling is unreal, you get up close with sea turtles and all kinds of colorful, unique fish. It never gets old, no matter how many times you go. The whole operation feels organized, safe, and easy, which makes it even more enjoyable. Huge shoutout to Q and Ryan, the boat captains we have had, they really make the trip. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and just fun to be around. They keep everything running smoothly while making sure everyone is having a good time. I’ll absolutely be booking with Delphi again next time I’m back in Aruba. Highly recommend.
Hi Shae, Thank you so much for coming back to us again and again, it really means a lot! We’re thrilled you keep enjoying the snorkeling and those unforgettable turtle encounters. Q and Ryan will be happy to hear your kind words. Can’t wait to welcome you back on your next trip to Aruba! 🐢🌊
Easy trip to book, Brought my wife and two kids. We booked the 2 hour trip. We got to see fish, turtles, and our captain Jamahl gave us the option of also visiting the ship reck. He was knowledgeable on the history of the Island and its residents.

So much fun! Our guide Ryan was amazing. We saw many fish, the shipwreck and sea turtles. We were all thrilled and the gear was good.

Ryan and the team will be delighted to know their efforts made your experience even better. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
This for me was surprisingly one of my favorite experiences. Well, I was nervous about swimming with the fish, it is truly a memory I will never forget. The private boat ride was very nice and relaxing, and our instructor was great at teaching and assisting us with the snorkel equipment, he was able to locate the fish for us and we even got to feed them as well. Delphi did an amazing job working with us as we did this trip on the day that we were leaving. They opened up slightly early for us to have time to snorkel and get to the airport on time. This also was a last-minute booking as we did it the day before Delphi water sports was incredibly easy to work with at first we were quoted 225, and then he told us that he could do it for us for $200 for the two of us. It lasted for about an hour, including two stops, one to look at the turtles and another to look at the fish.

We had a great time with Captain Eddie! We were able to get in the water in a few different locations and he took us up and down the island! Highly recommend and looking forward to booking again!
Hi Olivia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time with Captain Eddie and enjoyed exploring different spots around the island. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we truly appreciate the recommendation!
Eddie provided the best day for us! From Sea Glass Island to snorkeling with sea turtles and above the Antilla shipwreck! He was personable, made sure we had a great time, and kept safety a priority! Highly recommended!
