Great Family outing - Definitely recommend, my Family told me how great it was before we came to Aruba and think they undersold it. We sailed on the Romba. Great location, easily accessible from high rise hotels. We had one teenager who never snorkled before but there was no issues. Crew took care of everything and the three stops were perfect, saw fish, turtles, the shipwreck (with history lesson provided). Lunch was great, fried grouper tasted like it came out of the sea that morning. We have done many excursions over the years and it was 100% worth the price.

Nice Half-Day getaway. - Staff was fun, well organized and professional. There were snacks provided on the way. The bar was always open and had plenty of choices (ask for the green iguana - a great drink I had never heard of before). The distance between stops was very reasonable and the length of time at our 3 stops was long enough to get a good glimpse of what was available at each location. The provided lunch at the end of the trip (on board) was way better than I expected. The fish was especially good (and I am not a fish fan).
Overall a great value and an interesting day.
Cons (minor): If you have your own mask and it fits well, I would pack that along from home. Mine was not comfortable and did not fit properly (i.e. big head). Getting out of the water with the waves as they were was a bit of a challenge. My wife only went out on the first stop and then did not want to go out on the other two. I am also spoiled from other snorkel trips I have done at other islands. Not the most interesting, but still worthwhile overall.

Great Day of Snorkeling Fun! - What an amazing experience on the Half-Day Snorkel Sail Tour with Caribbean Lunch by Red Sail Sports Aruba! We had the best time. Lizzy, Captain Dennis, and our first mate were all absolutely wonderful — friendly, professional, and so much fun. They truly made the trip special.
The three snorkeling spots were incredible. We saw sea turtles, a shipwreck, and tons of fish — each stop was beautiful and exciting in its own way. It was such a memorable adventure. The slide was THE BEST! And all of your equipment is included!
The lunch was delicious, especially the grouper, which was so moist & fresh! Plus we had snacks and appetizers! It was great!! And the Aruba Aribas and Rum Punch were the perfect treat.
What an incredible value! Lunch, Snacks, Appetizers, Drinks, Equipment and a fun and knowledgeable CREW!
Everything about the day was relaxed, fun, and so well done.
A huge thank you to the amazing crew for such a fantastic time. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Aruba!

A Must do!! - This snorkel trip couldn’t have been any more fun. We went to three different places to snorkel, open bar, roomie boat. The crew was so much-fun Liz the first mate, and captain Dion. The lunch was way more than we expected. Hot buffet, the plates were even non-disposable and real silverware. Music was fun, the crew was so helpful. I would highly highly recommend the Red Sail lunch snorkel trip.
