“We had beautiful weather and a terrific guide in Marin! Definitely come prepared with a suit, towel and water shoes as recommended. The beaches are pebbly.

Review of Aruba’s VIP morning champagne cruise, with small-group snorkeling, padded seating, lunch, open bar, timing, value, and tips.
“I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone who hates cramped, loud tours. They treat you like royalty. Very comfy seats and wonderful snorkeling spots. I will do this one again next time for sure. The owners took us out and are incredible. Don’t eat too much before the grilled cheese is served. It is to die for!!”
Cruise Šibenik’s archipelago, swim in a quiet turquoise bay, snorkel, and enjoy sparkling wine with views of St. Nicholas Fortress.
“Wonderful boat ride, visiting archipelago and snorkeling in the beautiful bays. The skipper was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Thank you!”
