A MUST when in Aruba

Do not hesitate, book this! Amazing time, well worth the money, with easy pick up, free parking (just show your ticket), and hilarious and friendly crew. My husband and I had so much fun and will absolutely do this again. Perfect length of time for snorkeling, sailing, and jumping off the boat. While it feels crowded on the dingy to the bigger boat, there is plenty of space for all on the ship. Go early morning to see the most wildlife, mid afternoon is when we went and there were still plenty of fish. Every trip with Jolly Pirates is a party, so be prepared to dance, swim, and have a blast!

Truly Jolly

We went on the morning cruise boat #2 with free drinks and lunch included. The crew and Captain set a fun tone for all as they were very welcoming and attentive to safety and the needs of passengers. Being out on the boat was exciting in itself but being able to climb off and snorkel at 2 different spots and then watch those that were courageous swing off the boat and plunge into the water was a uniquely fun experience. The music, dancing and delicious lunch were bonuses. Wish they were the only boat out there.

Definitely worth it!

We had a great time! The crew keeps it lively. We went on the morning sail. We stopped and snorkeled at 3 stops. Unfortunately, with so many people-- I think it scared the fish away. Didn't see much, unless you swim over by the rocks at the last stop. Drinks were flowing, but I would request a double. Food was delicious! Parking was easy. You get about an hour to swing on the rope-- very fun! They sang happy birthday to me. Nice touch! Bring dramamine-- I regret I didn't!

Great morning snorkel tour!

We went on the morning snorkel tour - Johnny, Danny, William, and Oscar were a fantastic crew! They provided a very safe and fun atmosphere and kept our drinks full :-) The three snorkeling spots were great- saw the shipwreck, a lot of fish and a few turtles! The rope swing was also a lot of fun. Lunch was plentiful and tasty.

Operator response

So nice, done twice!

The excursion had all of the elements we were looking for: full day, snorkeling, food and a celebratory atmosphere for a reasonable price. When we arrived at the meeting point, we realized it was the same trip we’d booked 13 years ago! The conditions were better and the amenities and crew were as good as ever. Higher value for the rope swing and open bar second trip around. Love the Jolly Pirates!!

Operator response

Wow...13 years later! 🤩 Thank you so much for coming back to Jolly Pirates Aruba! It means so much to us that you chose our Snorkel Adventure again and enjoyed the Antilla Shipwreck, famous rope swing, open bar, and our pirate crew just as much the second time around. Come back anytime! 🌴

Great Time!

Awesome experience with the family. They took us to several locations to snorkel and swim. One of the locations had us snorkeling with sea turtles which was a highlight for us. The crew was amazing and engaging and the lunch was delicious!
